She's got hat envy

The essence of Abby...

Can you tell the wheels are turning?!!

There was a fight over the hat as soon as Jonah realized she had it! It was so funny!

Happy Easter!

THE eggs

When we started...

Why our Easter egg hunt ended up being inside!!

Happy Easter! We hope you all had a wonderful Easter and celebrated our Risen Lord.
This is always such a beautiful time of year for all of us. Blessings to you.

Spring is finally here! Yesterday was 62 deg and sunny. What a way to start of this new season. Today is a little chillier but still nice. We are getting ready for Easter! It came way too quickly this year.

A Prayer in Spring

~Robert Frost

Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today;

And give us not to think so far away

As the uncertain harvest; keep us here

All simply in the springing of the year.

Oh, give us pleasure in the orchrad white,

Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;

And make us happy in the happy bees,

The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.

And make us happy inthe darting bird

That suddenly above the bees is heard,

The meeor that thrusts in with needle bill,

And off a blossom in mid air stands still.

For this is love and nothing else is love,

The which it is reserved for God above

To sanctify to what far ends He will,

But which it only needs that we fulfill.

The Jack-Rabbit

I was setting up for a photo shoot with some of our friends children... Abby was playing around with Jack... Poor dog!!! ;) So is he a "Jack rabbit" ?!!!

We had a good weekend in TN. Mom's memorial service and reception was this weekend. Thank you to all our friends and family that attended. What a joy it was to see you all and share memories of Mom. Thank you to all the people who helped and who came to support the family. Thank you also to those who have prayed for us as well. It was a beautiful service.
