Easter Smiles . . . 2011

We had a great day celebrating our Risen Lord!

I just love Easter morning worship --

and that feeling in my heart

that it might burst with gratefulness

for what Jesus did for me!

The grave could not hold our King!

I think this may have been the first holiday

we celebrated with just our Littles.

I sure missed my Bigs . . .

I spent time pondering a special Easter Day

spent in Okinawa, Japan

when they were all three baptized together

in the East China Sea.

A sweet, sweet life changing memory.

Brady played guitar and sang worship,

at the church he and Bryce attend in Spokane

-- for their Easter service.

Oh if I could have only been two places at one time . . .

I'm so proud of my big kids

and so grateful for where

each of them is on their journey.

*sigh*

Now back to my Littles . . .

This is the smile brought on by the realization that you

just received your very own CD!

(Francesca Battist*elli)

Pretty in pink . . .

all the way to her toes . . .

and so proud of her Easter dress

she wore it until bedtime!

My two peas in a pod.

Teddi spotted the blue egg

(just below Brogan's basket)

as she came out the door.

I made her wait until I got a picture of them

and she could barely contain herself--

she grabbed it on "GO"!

The girl was flying . . .

never let a dress slow you down!

Brogan wasted no time grabbing his fair share!

Such fun!

A beautiful Easter day . . .

enjoying His gifts . . .

including our smallest treasures.

I love me some Littles!

Blessings from my nest ~
