Easter

When did Easter become complicated? I cannot tell you how long I have processed whether or not to look for Easter eggs. To be honest, I am not a fan of the Easter bunny. Actually, I am close to hating him... I just am tired of Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny stealing God's glory. They take away from the real reason we are celebrating. Back to the problem, I finally decided to do eggs, knowing I cannot avoid it. It really shouldn't be this complicated. My heart issue is this: I want to honor and glorify God, while leaving my life open and transparent. I want my family to be welcoming to those who don't know God, so that they can see Him through us. So the entire issue of Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny gets really complicated, maybe when they shouldn't...

When Did I Blink?

I must have blinked again, because my boys are growing up too fast. It truly breaks my heart, I love them so very much, that I am sure my heart aches and will eventually break. Here are some of my favorite pics that I have taken lately... Enjoy!


Best Friends! How Handsome!

Taking on the neighborhood together, brothers united!

Look Mom, berries...

Dad and Joshua, the dynamic duo.

Colorado Project!

We will be on the Colorado Project for AIA this summer. We are super excited. Click the title of this post, and it will link you to a promo video from last summer!

Here is our Hero, Joshua. Thanks to all who prayed. He is doing well, and we will see how the night goes when the painkillers wear off. We do have Tylenol with Coedine. He looks like a boxer ready to fight!

Surgery Day Awaits...

Joshua and Garrett really thought life was good with their Jello Hearts for breakfast. Surgery is in a little over 2 hours. I will post pics when we return from Children's. God, please take care of our blessing named Joshua.

JELL-O at its finest!

We just went to Children's Hospital this past Monday. On Super Bowl Sunday, Joshua developed a condition called "trigger finger". Both of his thumbs are stuck, yes, stuck. His left thumb is stuck bent down (the first joint closest to the tip) and the right thumb is stuck straight, unable to bend. I am still blown away that Joshua, a two and a half year old, is having surgery. What an overachiever! He has been to the Emergency Room over five times, all before he was fifteen months old. Now, anesthesia, stitches, the whole nine yards! What is worse, how do I explain to him that when he wakes up on the 19th, we all get to eat breakfast, but he gets jello. My two year old is going to be really angry when he realizes no food after 8:30 am!
