Play Time

Since I am well over a month behind, I thought that I would catch everyone up through pictures!

As you can see, we are having lots of outside fun here in Hawaii.

Dying Eggs...Just some cute pictures

Happy Easter! He is risen indeed!!!

We had a wonderful Easter. I kept thinking about Mykah and Jax and wondering what was going through their minds. All of the traditions that we just do without thinking and it was an entire new world to them. Jax wins the cute award for the day. He found a blue end right away and was happy as a clam. You would have thought he won the lottery and wasn't concerned at all about filling his basket at all. Life was good!

The girls were all beautiful in their dresses and Mykah was so proud of her new dress. It was a great day and it wrapped up blessed Holy Week.

"It is Finished"- Good Friday

Maudy Thursday

We have been celebrating Maudy Thursday with a Seder Meal over the past few years. We watch the Prince of Egypt in the afternoon and then we have a shortened version of the dinner. We basically just review what the symbols mean and how it all points to the Lamb of God. Colin is really starting to enjoy it and next year we will implement foot washing. It is so much fun to see them grow in their knowledge of the Lord through holidays and traditions. It is a great reminder that all the time and energy is worth it.

Soccer Daze

We have officially wrapped up Colin's first soccer season and he had SO MUCH fun. He is looking forward to soccer camp this summer.

Palm Sunday

We have been celebrating Lent together as a family and we entered into Holy Week on Sunday. With little ones, sometimes it is tough to really bring home the meaning of the holidays but we are hoping that by building a sense of tradtion now, that they will be pointed to Christ and all that he has done for us. We had dinner together and then the kids were able to act out out the passage from Matthew about Christ entering the city on a donkey. Chris was the donkey ( I will let you read into that :) ) and the kids ran around with palm branches singing Hosanna, Hosanna. (With an occassional beat the sibling with the palm branch thrown in). May this Easter season bring you the peace that only His resurrection can offer.
