Now I don&#8217;t commute, and rarely get to go to the Bay Area anymore &#8211; but I&#8217;d love to take this trip all the same!  But it would HAVE to be kid free!  I&#8217;ve really been wishing I could join a local knitting group &#8211; but the guild in the area meets midday so that doesn&#8217;t fit my schedule.  I&#8217;d love to visit the groups that <a href=\"http:\/\/violetknits.blogspot.com\/\">VioletKnits<\/a> attends &#8211; but I&#8217;m not sure about driving into downtown Sacramento at night &#8211; I really do prefer the quieter lifestyle my small town provides!  But, oh! to talk to other knitters &#8211; to be encouraged to keep it up, to get ideas and knowledge!  I&#8217;m too busy to start something like this in my community&#8230;I am!  \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>We had a really nice Easter weekend.  Saturday we cleaned house &#8211; the kids were able to play outside almost all day so it stayed clean too! LOL  The new Entertainment Armoire arrived &#8211; if you are curious to see it, follow this <a href=\"http:\/\/gallery.osbornz.net\/livingroom\/\">link<\/a> &#8211; I took pics for some online friends who wanted to see pics of it! \ud83d\ude42  We ended the day by going to visit my DH&#8217;s sister and BIL and our nephew.  It&#8217;s definitely official that I won&#8217;t be babysitting this nephew anymore.  With the special classes that J2 will need to take &#8211; as well as pursuing speech therapy for J3 &#8211; that babysitting was becoming something for which I had less and less time.  Also, he is starting to look so much like my son, Joshie (who we lost at 8 mos old) that I was completely falling apart each night that he visited me&#8230;.it was just too hard to keep those feelings at bay. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>Then yesterday, we got up and attended church &#8211; it was a great service with some WONDERFUL worship!  We skipped out on Sunday School &#8211; who knew they would have SS on Easter Sunday??? &#8211; and came home to prepare for the family BBQ. I admit&#8230;I was really dreading it, but it was very nice.  My mom, mil, fil, DH&#8217;s brother and 3 of his kids, DH&#8217;s sister&#8217;s 3 kids  (she was sleeping &#8211; she works nights as a nurse), DH&#8217;s other sister and her son (her hubby was working &#8211; he&#8217;s a chef)&#8230;and then both DH&#8217;s sister and his BIL made an appearance at the end of the afternoon &#8211; which was very nice as they ate some more of the leftovers and we had time for a nice visit!  The kids LOVED the trampoline &#8211; we had an egg hunt too.  I&#8217;m going to add pics to the gallery later today &#8211; I&#8217;ll post here when they are online!<\/p>\n<p>Well, I&#8217;ve got a puddle of J3 at my feet saying he is &#8216;firsty&#8217; so I&#8217;d better get off this &#8216;puter!  Hoping to knit the heels in J1&#8217;s slippers today!
