easter weekend 2009

liam-meets-easter-bunny

Our family is still trying to figure out the new normal since the death of my parents, so my sister and I decided we would celebrate Easter away from home this year.  We spent the weekend at a lakehouse on Kentucky Lake.  It was FABULOUS!  We had an amazing time, and it was nice to simply be away.

Here’s our weekend in pictures:

We had a nice lunch at Patti’s Restaurant in Grand Rivers.  This place will always hold a special place in my heart.  It was the last place my parents went before they were killed.  It’s such a fitting place for them, and I can imagine they had an amazing time being there… and being together.

    Hi Darla and Jake,
    I don’t think you and I have ever met,but I feel like I know you, not only as a viewer of wbko news but knowing that you are married to Jake makes you a very special person. I have known Jake since his birth and are friends with his mom and dad. Jake grew up with my son(Jay)and my daughter(Jessica).You all have a beautiful family and I can tell a very loving one. I hope someday we will be able to meet and I can see Nadia and Liam.

    Future friend I hope,

    Marilyn

    hey Darla, just wanted to say you have a beautiful family, I have always known what a great person you were since you were one of the few people who treated me like I was a person, not putting me into any groups as many do in school. Thank you for being a wonderful person and as anyone can see God is rewarding you now and he started with a husband and 2 beautiful children.
