The Shack

This is a great read. I found it to be a great redemptive story. I did know a bit about it before I started to read. It definitely has some unexpected twists. Good stuff!

Easter

We had such a nice Easter. Our church had service, then a brunch with Easter egg hunt, then the next service. We went to early service and stayed for the Hunt. Haven racked up. I think she is pro when it comes to finding the eggs. Then we had lunch at our house. It is always nice to have our family over. The funnest part tho, was when the kids got up and found their Easter baskets. Their faces were priceless. Both were so excited. I dont think either one really knew to expect it, even tho I told Justus about it. I tried so hard to get good, cute pics of the kids, but they both just werent wanting to cooperate. Imagine that! So heres the best Ive got.....

At least theyre dead

Ants, that is. I promise, I clean up dead bodies and then not an hour later is a whole new crop of them. There are a few still alive and they are just on their last leg, you can tell by their slow crawl. I hate bugs in and around my house, but at least they are dead bugs! Look closely at the pics and you will see dead bodies. Ugh!

Easter Fun

Today our church had an Easter Egg hunt and picnic. It was lots of fun. The kids got to play and then hunt for eggs and then eat lunch picnic style. It was fun to be with our friends and celebrate this way!

The cutest room

My friend just had a baby girl 2 weeks ago. She decorated her room so cute, I thought it should be in a magazine. Here are some pictures that dont quite do it justice cause they were taken with my phone. Hope you can see just how cute it is!

Reciprocal

I just got two thank you notes in the mail from friends for things I had done for them. One card said they wished they could repay me one day for all I had done. The word that came to my mind right then was reciprocal. I have been and I know that I will be blessed. Whether or not it is from her. That is how God works. He always takes care of His children. Nice things are done to be nice - to show love and support. I dont ever expect repayment. I think we just go through life doing the nice things that we can do, blessing others as much as we can. Then whether we are blessed back by them or not, its all ok. Someone will bless me. For sure, my life is a life truly blessed. Both my friends have touched lives in ways they would never know. So as long as we all try to bless others and not be selfish, everyone will feel blessed.

All by myself

Im so glad that Haven has started to feed herself. She can use a spoon all by herself and now Im virtually hands free feeding! I love the independence. Here are some pics of her new feat. Also, some of Justus' road he concocted out of his bristle blocks.
