Receiving a shocking surprise!
                                                       Wow what a shocking and funny day it has been so far.  For all of those who have been following know that today dad was picking me up and I was spending Easter over there but I wasn't expecting to receive a text message saying : Pick you up soon. I have texting now it's daddy. I was in total shock and I burst out laughing and I text back: That's sure surprising and he responded Ya I'm the man now baby.  I guess the reason why it shocks me is that he used to be so against it.  Whenever he would see James, Nathan, or I texting he would flip up his phone and pretend to be doing it then tell us it was a waste of time and money.  
                                             But as I got in the car I noticed he had a new smart phone  and he said the person who he works for, Tim gave to him and pays the bill so dad canceled his other phone.  Dad admitted then that texting can be convenient such as work and a lot of other things.  He says he can only text with one finger because he has such huge hands but I don't see any problem with that, that's the way I text LOL.  I asked how he likes the phone and he admitted there are some things that he still misses about his old one but I just think he just needs to get learn to adjust just like I will when I get a DROID or a smart phone but that won't be for a while yet and I am happy with the phone I have.  Well anyway he has planned all the meals out just like the last time.   Tonight we are having his homemade hamburgers along with tatar tots.  
                                                I must admit I am not thrilled with the tatar tots but my dad said he hasn't had them in 12 years ever since he moved out of the house when we were little.  He is going to do them in the fryer that we got him for father's day a couple years ago.  Tomorrow we are having carbonara which everyone is looking forward to.  I have a feeling that this Easter might be a fun one after all.  All I have to do is keep thinking positive LOL.           
                                                     Just in case you were wondering about dinner last night it we had a great time or at least I did.  Mark and I went over to Rachel's around 5 and brought the soup that mom had prepared that morning along with some bread sticks, crackers, and a sea fish dip that was so die for. After a while the place seemed to get crowded.  Originally it was just going to be Mark, mom, Rachel, and her fiance Mark.  LOL I know two Marks it's confusing for everyone else but me.  Well because I think of my mom's fienace as a best friend more than a step father and since he calls me Frodo I call him Sam which is Frodo's best friend in the lord of the ring's movie but more on that later for the rest of the people it's harder.  They either have to say Lisa's Mark or Rachel's Mark.  Good thing we are not around each other that often. 
                                                            But later on aunt Millie and uncle Gary came along with their grandson Anthony.  LOL I swear that kid is a ball of energy but sure is cute.  A little later mom arrived along with (Rachel's) Mark's two daughters Natalie and Page. Anthony had fun playing with them while we made the bread and heated the soup and prepared the dinner.  Rachel was really excited to share with us what she had done to the new room to her house.  For the record Rachel is pregnant and is due in August.  
                                                             Yes I had known for awhile but I was asked not to say anything and she is letting the news spread.  The room that she has put together is beautiful and I know she will be a great mother.  She has a feeling it is going to be a boy and we were talking about names last night.  I guess they are having a disagreement on the name.  She likes Peter but Mark doesn't.  He's afraid that people are going to call him Peter Eater.  She's afraid that she might have to let that name go.  As for me I  just can't wait to find out what it is.  Well I better go I hope everyone has a fantastic Easter
