We wore our Easter clothes last Sunday, even though that really only entailed two new dresses for the girls---but don't tell the boys that. We want to get several weeks out of them!But this created a down pouring of discussion about Easter coming..........
are we going to have eggs? are we going to find them? is it tomorrow? are we going somewhere?
For Family Night on Monday, we taught an Easter lesson to reiterate the real reason for Easter, and this special celebrated week. Every time Eliza sees a picture of Jesus, she says, "Jesus died."
"Yes, he did," I say.
"He's alive again. He's resurrected." she says.
"Yes, he is!" I say.
"Jesus love me." she says.
"Yes, he does," I say.
"Jesus love you. Jesus loves Matthew, Miriam......."and so forth
This is our daily conversation lately : )
We are grateful for this Easter time to celebrate. We are trying to pull out the real meaning amidst the eggs, the bunny, the baskets, the thickest Sunday ads of the year plastered with Easter ads........
We are thankful that Jesus Christ lives!

What a good lookin group. I am glad we are back in contact. And I agree that it would be fun to get together sometime.
Melissa! How are you? You have a beautiful family. I'm amazed with the internet and ways of tracking down old friends. Hope all is well with you and your family.
I'm feeling a love hate relationship going on. I love seeing new updates on your blog, hate the days that there aren't new posts, and hate seeing your kids grow up without me there. I think I just about almost cried. I miss you. I miss your kids. I miss being there. I love being a mom and wife. I miss being a kid. Oooh life. Not quite fair. Why can't we have it all? LOVE the Easter dresses!
