Happy Easter!

Peter Cottontail came to our house this morning and the boys were quite pleased. Camren got a new ball (ball, ball, ball, ball as he says many times a day) and Conner got a new bike horn and they got a bubble machine to share. Of course there were many questions about the Easter bunny and how he gets in our house so I decided to say that Mommy and Daddy help the Easter bunny a lot since I already dread the day of telling him about Santa and all our many lies surrounding his entry into our home at Christmas. So I didn't try to mask that I reused some baskets we already had and that Daddy's basket was the one Conner used on Saturday for egg hunting. We had a great lunch with Melanie, Autumn and Joanna and then strawberry cake back at our house for dessert that Melanie made especially for Conner.

The egg hunt on Saturday was during Camren's usual nap time so he wasn't as excited about eg

g hunting as I was for him...he mainly wanted to get inside the eggs and eat whatever sugary item awaited. Conner on the other hand had no problem getting 107 eggs! All in all we've had a nice weekend and thankfully we had decent weather.

We also celebrated Gary and Angela's upcoming bundle of joy. Here is a picture of Gary with one of the presents...pump and save breastmilk bags. I think we should tell him they're not for him :)

Proverbs 31:10-31 (GWT)

10 “Who can find a wife with a strong character? She is worth far more than jewels.11 Her husband trusts her with all his heart, and he does not lack anything good. 12 She helps him and never harms him all the days of her life. 13 “She seeks out wool and linen with care and works with willing hands. 14 She is like merchant ships. She brings her food from far away. 15 She wakes up while it is still dark and gives food to her family and portions of food to her female slaves. 16 “She picks out a field and buys it. She plants a vineyard from the profits she has earned. 17 She puts on strength like a belt and goes to work with energy. 18 She sees that she is making a good profit. Her lamp burns late at night. 19 “She puts her hands on the distaff, and her fingers hold a spindle. 20 She opens her hands to oppressed people and stretches them out to needy people. 21 She does not fear for her family when it snows because her whole family has a double layer of clothing. 22 She makes quilts for herself. Her clothes are made of linen and purple cloth. 23 “Her husband is known at the city gates when he sits with the leaders of the land. 24 “She makes linen garments and sells them and delivers belts to the merchants. 25 She dresses with strength and nobility, and she smiles at the future. 26 “She speaks with wisdom, and on her tongue there is tender instruction. 27 She keeps a close eye on the conduct of her family, and she does not eat the bread of idleness. 28 Her children and her husband stand up and bless her. In addition, he sings her praises, by saying, 29 ‘Many women have done noble work, but you have surpassed them all!’ 30 “Charm is deceptive, and beauty evaporates, but a woman who has the fear of the Lord should be praised. 31 Reward her for what she has done, and let her achievements praise her at the city gates.”
