He is Risen!


We had great Easter celebrations this year! Last weekend we participated in our first Easter egg hunt put on by the Heights. They did a fantastic job, and I really loved how they split the little ones into age groups...it made it a little more fair. Luke, however, was most interested in the big pond with the ducks. He did get the idea of picking up the eggs, but really just wanted to get back to the pond. We had an Easter visit from Nana, Papa and Gigi and Taylor came home from her long vacation. We sure missed her, although with a very busy past couple of months, it was nice for her to be away at her Nana's camp. Today we got dressed up, Ross and Luke looking most daper in matching shirts and ties, and headed to church. It was a great service, with good music. We had Easter lunch with Uncle Ryan (aka "Rynie"...we're working on it), and then headed home for naps and a relaxing day. We are so blessed...to have the awesome gift of salvation and then to be able to live lives where we aren't persecuted like so many were and still are. Thank you Jesus for all that you are!!
Walking in with Dad, so excited to see all the eggs and fun to be had!
Plotting his attack strategy.

The Battlefield
Giving Avery a "kiss." He still just goes in with his big head and waits for someone to kiss him. Silly boy!
Getting a jump start with moms help.
Now we got it down!

"Now off to where I really want to be..."
"And what I really want to do!"
Score!
Mom's attempt to get an Easter outfit picture. I promise he was more cleaned up for church, shirt tucked in, hair combed, sleeves down. This is our after lunch before nap picture!

Taylor wishing she didn't have to be in the picture too!
Almost reminds me of Ren from footloose...age 2 of course!
"Now I gotta cut loose!"
