Sing us a song, you're the piano man . . . Could I interest you in Bach, Beethoven, or Mozart? Maybe you would like "Mary Had a Little Lamb"? Right now we are in Rocky Mount visiting with Tim & Teresa for revival week, and they have a wonderful keyboard that I have been making beautiful music on! Tim came to our church to preach for revival, and now Daddy is preaching the revival for his church, West Mount Baptist. Today was the first day, so we still have three to go! Stay tuned for more about our adventures here in my next blog post . . .

Over the past two weeks, I have had several new experiences. I went to my first bridal shower (honoring Donnay & Brendan), ate delicious mints, and played with my friend, Laura. It was fun watching them open all of their presents, even though Mom didn't let me help. I think Mom said that we'll go to another shower for the happy couple next month. I hope they have delicious mints!

Another new experience I had was attending the Chicken Strut Festival in Bethune. Some of my church friends were in the pageant, so we watched them strut their stuff down the gym floor of Bethune Elementary. They won cool trophies and everything! There was also a rodeo, a parade, and carnival rides, but we had to leave for Rocky Mount so Dad said I could go to those fun things next year. I didn't see any chickens, though -- wonder where they were hiding?


Love always,

Levi

Milestone of the week: Twelve teeth and more on the way

Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail . . . I sure found lots of eggs that the Easter bunny left in Mimaw's yard (I picked a few flowers, too)! Did you find some eggs this year? I really love celebrating Easter -- we do so many fun things! First, I went to our Easter Egg-stravaganza at church and spent time with my friends. We ate hot dogs, played games, hunted for eggs, and even won prizes! Next, Mom boiled a bunch of eggs and I helped to dye them (Dad even dyed some). She wrote my name in crayon on one of the eggs, and guess what? It showed up after we put it in the dye! That was really cool.

On Sunday, we had an Easter breakfast at church and Grammy & Granddeddy came to eat with me. We learned in the Children's Moment that morning that Easter really isn't about bunnies and chicks; it's about Jesus' resurrection! Did you know that He died on the cross to save us from our sins? I was a little too small last year to understand, but I am so glad to know now what Easter is all about! After church, we drove to Mimaw's house, and I got to eat delicious food, visit with family, and hunt eggs all over again! It was my best Easter yet.

Since Mom's computer has been on the fritz, I've missed out on telling you about all of the other great happenings in Bethune! Before Easter, Tim & Teresa came for our church revival and stayed with us. I love it when they come over! Pastor Tim preached for the services, and lots of different people came to do music. I got to talk with my friend, Sterling, the night that her Mom & Dad played music for us. We all had a wonderful time together worshipping and singing songs.

After Easter, Brendan & Donnay came to visit! Dad had to do some counseling meetings with them before they are married, but the rest of the time we played together. I can't wait to get all dressed up in the outfit that Gee-Gee is making for me to wear in the wedding . . . Mom says I will be very handsome!


With love,

Levi
