Happy Easter

We enjoyed a wonderful Easter filled with family and CANDY!! Levi is enamored with the multicolored plastic candy-filled eggs. He had so much fun running around the yard looking, pointing, and yelling, "Der's one. Found one!" This family photo is sort of a replica of one we took almost exactly two years ago when I was 9 months pregnant with Levi... check it out if you like. I am now 7 months pregnant. 

 

In Ryan's family they hunt to Easter baskets instead of eggs. Kami made up a sweet basket for Ryan and then hid it in Levi's sandbox--under the sand. Ryan is notorious for finding his basket too easily. He still found his before the other two boys (Shawn and Nathan). Maybe next year we'll stump him. 




This Easter was especially hard/meaningful as I meditated on what it means to "rise with Christ" one day. I can't wait to see my dad again and for all sorrow to be wiped away, but I am also so grateful for the life God has given me (and the life growing even now in my belly).

What a sweet family picture!!! You look adorable as always Jessie! I've been praying for you a lot lately, remembering the anticipation and sometimes bodily discomfort of the last few weeks of pregnancy. Please know that you are in my heart and prayers for a safe delivery and healthy new baby on the way!
