Easter Weekend Recap

Our holiday weekend started on Friday with a trip to our local Children's Museum, with Uncle Bill, Aunt Laura, Connor, and Mawna. 

This is the one time all three of the kids were doing the same thing ;)






Love this one of Aunt Laura and Chloe ~ they were working on a computer board & puzzle activity....Laura is the only person I've ever seen that actually knows how to work it! :)


Saturday morning we headed to my parents for their Annual Easter Egg Hunt.  Here are all the kiddos, ready to hunt for some eggs!


This is the face April made when she was told her eggs were orange.  Each child gets a specific color to find, making it fair.....April, I guess, was expecting her eggs to be pink.  There were no pink eggs, and she did collect her orange ones! :)

She also made friends with Clara on the porch step after the hunting was over! :)


Now what is this child doing? Not listening to her mother?


Actually, she's ready for Uncle Bill's science experiment:  an exploding egg!



Here are the girls (we took this after Clara and her parents left, we'll have to remember to do it before they leave next year!):


and....the very silly boys....


We stayed at my parents in the afternoon....visiting and resting, while Bill and Kevin picked up and installed our new oven (ours broke the Sunday before!)....



Later, we opened Easter gifts from Mawna and Pap.....

New crocs! :)


And, making this one of the longest days in history, we packed everyone up and headed to our mall to ride the train!!  Our children are still sporting their new crocs, which is possibly the clearest thing in this next picture :)  They were all so excited to ride!


Sunday morning was a mad dash to get ready and be at church on time.  I might have the girls dress up again soon for nicer pictures.....this one is a little deer-in-the-headlights & ruffled-collar-not-looking to be the only one of the two of them! :)


but, this one, taken before lunch at my grandma's, is a winner for sure!  These three kids love their Mawna!


And, because this doesn't happen everyday....Laura and I got our picture taken together with our week-apart pregnant bellies!  Next time we'll see each other, our babies will be meeting each other!

Praise God! We are thrilled to announce the birth of April Hope, born this morning at 4:42 a.m. and weighing in at 8 lbs 3 oz. and 20.5 inches long. We think she is beautiful! Both April and Alison are doing great. Here are just a few of many pictures taken on her first day. More to come...

More Bloopers

These pictures just make me laugh ~ especially the last two. I have a feeling that Aunt Laura, in particular, will think those last two are funny also. :)

A dear friend

I'm leading the study tomorrow at my Bible Study. We're reading a book called Crazy Love by Francis Chan and the chapter I'm in 'charge of' of real life examples of people who are living completely for Christ. I've come up with an example from my own life to talk about and I thought I'd let my blog readers in on what I'm going to share tomorrow. Enjoy! I met Mrs. Hohman on a hot July afternoon after mistakenly knocking on her neighbor’s door. I stood on her front porch with my mom, nervously waiting to meet the woman I planned on living with for my first year at Grove City . I felt like I was towering over her short frame as she showed me the 3 rd floor and barked the rules of “no swearing, no smoking, no boys”. I handed over my rent check and moved to her house in late August. September came and a fellow freshman had a mental breakdown and her bed was now available to me…… So, after 3 weeks of living with Mrs. Hohman I moved out....
