Happy Easter!

Easter Sunday was a sweet one for our family. Taking the day to remember and think on the death of Christ, His resurrection, and His love for us was overwhelming.

Before church Addie posed in her new blue dress.

Doak, who was not happy about his assigned outfit, would only give me a glimpse of a smile, with a watering can in his hands.

Brock wouldn't stand still or be without his pacifier before church so his picture came after a long nap Sunday afternoon.

I wish I had a picture of all three kids together, but it just wasn't happening. Good thing Easter isn't about bunnies, eggs, and posed photos.

Sunday was our first time to visit a church here and it was a bittersweet morning. The church we chose to visit was full of friendly people and the kids all were excited to go to their respective classes, what a relief! The worship and sermon were fantastic, but the size of the church was a bit overwhelming. It made me miss our church back in our small town. I'm thankful that the emotions I felt didn't hinder God from working on me during the service. We're trusting in the Lord to lead us to the right place where we can serve, grow, and be at home.

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter weekend. Our service at Bent Tree was amazing as usual. There were so many people there too! We sat with two other couples from our life group - there were 6 of us (and a baby) and we shared 5 chairs! It was a bonding experience. After the service I volunteered in the 4 year old room and Keri served as a greeter. I had major kindergarten flashbacks, except this group only had 6 kids! It was heavenly!

We got Addie a few Easter gifts. She loves Boz videos and so do we. So we got her a stuffed Boz, a CD of Boz tunes, and a Boz book. Boz overload, but she loves them all!

After church we headed up to see our Little Elm friends, Chris, Val, and Maelynn and had a fabulous home cooked dinner! Val was my first friend in Little Elm-we met at the post office the summer we moved to LE. I had Addie in the baby bjorn and Val started talking to me about her daughter who was just a few months older than Addie. In the course of our conversation we realized that we had both just moved to LE, we both knew no one and both of our husbands are football coaches! It was definitely a God planned meeting and we've been friends ever since! Thanks again Val for having us over!

After we got back from LE Addie and I took a nap (yeah for naps) and then Keri hid eggs for Addie inside the apartment since it was FREEZING outside! She really wasn't into finding the eggs-she picked up 3 or 4 and then moved on to something else!

All in all we had a blessed weekend. We've been really mindful of the sacrifice Christ made and Keri and I are both striving to remember that sacrifice daily instead of just once or twice a year.

party at the park

Today we drove over to Hurst to attend a neighborhood party that Keri's mom and dad helped organize for their HOA. Addie got to swing, slide, get her face painted, and play with cousins Camryn and Makynna, uncle Chad, Nana and Pop Pop. It was the perfect day!
