We had a lovely, relaxing weekend. Nathan didn't get much work done, but hopefully that just means he is refreshed before the extra week of studying/paper writing as he comes to the end of Winter Semester.
On Thursday night we had a Passover Seder meal at our place, which was so much fun. Our friends Amber and Frank popped over to say hi, and they stayed for the meal. I roasted a 3kg leg of lamb, and thankfully that turned out great.
On Good Friday we went to a local church for a combined service. We went last year too, and I love it because it's passages of scripture readings which tell of the Easter story, with specially chosen songs that we sing at points during the story. For me, it helps makes it more real, and lets me mull over it without having to concentrate on a sermon. Daniel was in the nursery, so it was nice to have that time to think with little distraction. Nathan spent some time in the garden that he is working on, and we went for a walk to our friends on the other side of campus for a snack and a chat. We finished off the night with a dvd.
On Easter Sunday, our church had 4 baptisms down at Wreck beach, and a pancake fundraiser for the teen's Mexico mission in the summer. I can't remember exactly what we did that day, but I feel like we've had a good amount of family time, which is great. I'm looking forward to Nathan's assignments/exams being finished! And next Saturday night we are having a babysitter (once Daniel is asleep) so that we can go out for coffee for our anniversary.
