Happy Easter!

I hop (I mean hope :-) everyone had a wonderful Easter. It's such a promising time. There is new life all around us, outside in the blooms and blossoms, and within with Jesus Christ our Savior. This time of year makes me miss England and seeing all the baby lambs, pigs, and calves in the fields (stinkin' US. Why are all the animals locked away in barns or mucking it up in feed lots?!). It always overwhelms me with a sense of excitment and enthusiasm for things to come. We had a wonderful weekend of dying Easter eggs, celebrating the resurrection with our church family, and then having a wonderful lunch with friends.

This was The G's first time dying eggs and she really got into it. We took everything outside, coated her with SPF 50, and let her have at it. She broke 6 of the 12 eggs but we dyed and hid them anyway.



She was also a pro at egg hunting.

Happy Easter to you, too! Thanks for the update and pictures! The reference to the multiple Maddie's referred to the fact that we now have 8 small Maddie's wearing her bike helmet as our screen saver! It's the BEST!!
