Resurrection Sunday and more!!

Resurrection Sunday

We were thrilled to celebrate Jesus' resurrection together as a family.  Gregg was working all night, but came home and slept a couple of hours and woke up to go to church with us.  It was a powerful service at our church where our pastor taught how Jesus changes everything.  He does and He is alive!!!

Several books, paint your own "stained glass" cross, window decals, Minnie, and the peanuts movie

He reads non-stop so Wynna bought him a set of Boxcar Children mysteries.  He's almost read all of the ones they have at our library!

Preparing our Hearts 

During the month of March we spent time preparing our home and our hearts for Resurrection Day.  I didn't get a picture of our names of Jesus chain.  Each day, I would hide a slip of paper that had a name of Jesus on it (Savior, Healer, etc.).  Zeke would look for them, then we'd look up the verse printed on it.

We also did Resurrection eggs the 2 weeks before Resurrection Day.  Each egg has an item that represents what happened on Jesus' journey to the cross (i.e. donkey, cup, prayer hands, etc., and the final egg was empty!).  We'd open the egg and read the scripture and description each evening.  It was very powerful!  Below you'll see some photos of just a few of our decorations!

Birthday Party Fun and 32 Weeks

I was 32 weeks the day we went to our friends, the Blanchards, little boys' birthday party.  Their middle and youngest son were born on the same day, so they had a joint birthday party.  They used to live down the street from us, but live in town now.  It was a fun afternoon celebrating their cute boys!

I thought it would be fun to compare my belly with Adalynn to my belly with Lily Faith!

Ready to head to the party

Perfect chair for her!

Presents!

Spring has sprung

The weather has been kind of up and down here, but it's definitely spring.  We're getting our pool ready and will hopefully be able to swim soon.  

Walk in the neighborhood

Baby goes everywhere with us!

At our local coffee shop in the kid corner

Mr. Potato Head's glasses!

They decided to work out like Mommy!

Target practice!

 They had to tag along with me to an endocrinologist appointment that ended up taking a LONG time!  They did great, but you'll see how silly Adalynn gets in the bottom pictures!

Such a fun toy!

We continue to look forward to Lily Faith's arrival sometime around May 14th.  We cherish your prayers for her safe delivery and good health.  We are humbled by all of the prayer warriors that stand with us for our family.  Thank you!!
