Enjoyed picnic at Market Commons with Jamie, Andrea and their children, Jadon and Macy Bleu
Easter 2009
We had two Setzer family deaths and the death of my dear friend, Cindy Gurley since Olivia was born! Trevor's uncle, Curtis Setzer, passed away March 14. We packed up and headed to Lincolnton to be with the family. We stayed at Trevor's Aunt Kaye & Uncle Ron's home the 14th-17th of March. Olivia did pretty well but I do remember times of frustration with having a newborn away from home. She was just a month old...still adjusting to breastfeeding, sleep schedule, and life as parents. I remember we got home Tues. night, St. Patrick's Day, and made a quick cell phone picture (we were all dressed in Green). March 19th was my parents 33rd wedding anniversary. I had my last check-up with Dr. Golden for this pregnancy-all is well. Spring arrived March 20 and March 21 we went to the Taste of the Coast. It was nice to get out of the house some (locally). Trevor cleaned my car the next week, and even took the seats out to clean!! Great job, dear! Cindy passed away Friday, March 27th. March 28th was one year since my grandmother Warren passed away. My grandmother Faircloth has been remarried for 3 years now on March 31 to Oliver Faircloth (she married another man with the last name of Faircloth!) April 1, Wed, Trevor returned to work!! We were so blessed to have the 7 weeks off work TOGETHER! Then on Fri, April 3, Trevor's papaw Setzer passed away! We were able to visit him when we went to Lincolnton for Curtis' funeral, and we got a few pictures of him with Olivia, his 17th great grandchild. So once again, we packed up and headed to Lincolton! We stayed at Aunt Kaye's again this time...Jeanne said "We are getting pretty good at this travel, not sure if that's a good or bad thing". We were certainly sorry to have so many deaths so close together! April 8th Olivia was 8 lb and 13 oz! We weigh her on scales at Poppop and Nana's. April 10th, we went to Wendy's 30th birthday dinner at a restaurant in Market Common's area here in Myrtle Beach. Kirk & Kelly's family came for the Easter weekend, so we enjoyed some time with them. Easter was Sunday, April 12, and we made it to our church for the first time with Olivia. It was nice to get a few pictures of our family together at the church cross and by flowers at Poppop & Nana's. We had a great Easter lunch with family. Trevor was working but was able to switch some time and be off to attend church and have lunch with us. This past weekend we enjoyed lots of friends, family and sun! The weather was beautiful! We had lunch here Fri. in our screened patio with our friends Ryan, Krista and their 2 boys, Owen (will be 2 in July) & Calvin (will be 1 in Sept.).
Saturday, April 18th, we had a picnic lunch at Market Commons with our new friends Jamie, Andrea, and their 2 children, Jadon (will be 2 in May) and Macy Bleu who was born Feb. 4 (just 8 days before Olivia!) We meet them via Craigslist when we purchased a baby swing from them. We "hit it off" when we went to pick up the swing and have stayed in touch ever since. It is such a blessing to have friends and so enjoyable to have friends going through some of the same stages of parenthood with us!
Sunday, April 19th, we made it to Sunday school and worship-yeah! Our Sunday school class has been another wonderful blessing. It is great to be back at church! We were able to have John, Wendy, Riley and Lyla over for dinner last night-another blessing-living near family! Thank you God for all the blessings You give us. We pray for all those who have lost loved ones recently. We have comfort and hope knowing we will see our Christian loved ones again in heaven. This Easter season, we remember Christ's death on the cross for our sins. May we strive to live each day as Easter people!
