How Great Thou Art

Easter Afternoon

Our very wonderful friends Matthew and Jennifer invited us over for lunch and Easter fun Sunday afternoon. We had SO SO much fun and appreciate their family's hospitality.

Here is Justus wanting to get his Easter basket and go hunt eggs even though we had not even eaten lunch yet.
Here is Hannah showing off all the eggs she found in the Easter egg hunt.

THE GIRLS!
THE BOYS!

We are starting to keep an eye on these two! :-)

Easter Morning

Easter morning hugs.
Yes, those are their "pajamas" which is the play dress Hannah wore the day before and the shirt Justus wore the day before. Who needs official pajamas!??

Looking thru their baskets. We stuck with the tradition we started last year and stole from some friends. Bathing suits in the Easter basket. They loved them and their candy too!

Hannah excited about gum.
Justus excited about chocolate!
Sweet Smiles!

Happy Easter!

New Book

Well, I am finished with my first Karen Kingsbury book. A Time to Dance was great. It is about marriage and about finding the Lord in your marriage. I liked it. I love reading christian authors. The outcome of the book may have been predicted as I was reading it but the way they came up with it was NOT at all what I thought. Beautiful!

I am not on to the next in this series. I am reading A Time to Embrace by Karen Kingsbury. I will let you know how it goes!

List Fan

I am not sure where I get it from (ahemmm.... mom!) but I am a big fan of lists. The lists in the Bible are sometimes what helps me the most to understand what God wants us to know in the Bible. SO, here is a Bible list....

Ephesians 6:10-18

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with

• The belt of truth buckled around your waist,
  
• The breastplate of righteousness in place,
• Your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

In addition to all this, take up

• The shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one
• The helmet of salvation and
  
• The sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
  

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

Surprises

Why is it when you have kids that everyone who comes to see you thinks they have to bring a "little something" for the kids?

This past weekend we got new Sunglasses from Aunt Wendy and Mollie.

Aren't they the cutest?

Sweet Little Love Song

I Cross My Heart
by George Strait

Our love is unconditional, we knew it from the start.
I see it in your eyes, you can feel it from my heart.
From here on after let's stay the way we are right now,
And share all the love and laughter
That a lifetime will allow.

I cross my heart and promise to
Give all I've got to give to make all your dreams come true.
In all the world you'll never find a love as true as mine.

You will always be the miracle that makes my life complete,
And as long as there's a breath in me, I'll make yours just as sweet.
As we look into the future, it's as far as we can see,
So let's make each tomorrow be the best that it can be.

I cross my heart and promise to
Give all I've got to give to make all your dreams come true.
In all the world you'll never find a love as true as mine.

And if along the way we find a day it starts to storm,
You've got the promise of my love to keep you warm.
In all the world you'll never find a love as true as mine,
A love as true as mine.

What a Birdhouse!

A very close friend of ours made these bird houses for his grand- children. YES, out of an old Golden Book! Isn't is awesome!?

School Days

On school days the 2 little ones (ages 1 and 2) have taken a nap at school. The 3 big ones (age 4) have not. SO, when we get home the 3 big ones lay down for a rest and the to 2 little ones don't have to.

When the big ones aren't around, the little ones get a little silly!
