This is our modern day baby book! It is our prayer that years from now, Zeke and Adalynn will look back at the details of this blog and understand just how much we looked forward to meeting them and love them!

Preparing our hearts for Resurrection Sunday


I wanted to share a few photos of the items we have placed around our home, in addition to the traditions we have begun, to remember the sacrifice Jesus made for us.  It is our prayer that Zeke and Adalynn will come to know Jesus as their Savior and never take His sacrifice for granted.





This sign reminds us of the great I AM!

These cards have verses to read beginning with Palm Sunday



Zeke and I began doing "Resurrection Eggs" last year.  It counts down 2 weeks before Resurrection Sunday.  There are items in each egg to explain to children what happened leading up to Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection.  The last one is a white egg that is empty symbolizing the empty tomb!


This year, we also did a study on the different names of Jesus.  Each morning I would hide a slip of paper that had one of His names such as, Messiah, Holy One, Friend, Cornerstone, etc.  We discussed what the name meant and read a verse that helped us understand.  We created a paper chain around a cross as you'll see below:


Today, "Good Friday," we have talked about the pain and suffering Jesus endured for us.  It is hard to think about it, but so important to remember with the hope of what is to come Sunday.

As we know...
