Easter Weekend







Okay, so it took me almost a week to post these, but here are some pics from last weekend. It was a rather eventful one. On Friday night we drove (in the snow!) to Hermitage and had dinner with our friends the Akins at O'Charleys. That was lots of fun. Then during the wee hours of the morning we had an episode of "false labor", which certainly did not feel false at the time!


Saturday afternoon my family came over and we "grilled in". That was a blast including the indoor Easter egg hunt for my nephew Noah. Thanks to Duane by the way for helping put together Ansley's furniture. Her room is coming right along now. It was fun having myself, my sis Jenny, and my cuz Sarah all together at one time because we are all 3 pregnant. They are in the early stages though and still look like supermodels! We are so excited to be getting 3 new babies. We take seriously the commandment to be fruitful and multiply! Unfortunately I didn't get any pics of this event.


On Sunday we went to Brian's parents house and ate a wonderful lunch with his family. We got to see sweet baby Jack who will surely be outgrowing me before his first birthday. He is a handsome little man and so pleasant! Ty got to play with his cousin Malcolm in their Easter outfits (I did get pics of that). Let's just say I am thankful for Shout after the abuse he gave that outfit Sunday. It all came out! We had a full and great weekend! Hope everyone else did too! We are just waiting for Ansley and trying to get Ty well. He has a nasty cold with a smoker's cough. I bought a portable aquarium swing at a consignment sale for Ansley a couple of weeks ago and apparently Ty has deemed it his "recliner". He is lounging in it right now. Oh man, am I in for it!

The Cross

With this week being Easter I just wanted to share the lyrics from a Chris Tomlin song about the cross. It is such a beautiful song. It is even more beautiful with the music, but I thought I would share the words to remind myself and all of us what this weekend (and everyday) is about. Hope everyone is having a great week! Happy Easter!!!
What can take a dying man and raise him up to life again?
What can heal a wounded soul?
What can make us white as snow?
What can fill the emptiness?
What can mend our brokenness?
Brokenness
Mighty, awesome, wonderful
Is the holy cross
Where the Lamb laid down His life
To lift us from the fall
Mighty is the power of the cross
What restores our faith in God?
What reveals the Father's love?
What can lead the wayward home?
What can melt a heart of stone?
What can free the guilty ones?
What can save and overcome?
Overcome
It's still a miracle to me
It's still a mystery
It's still a miracle to me
The power of God For those who believe
