HAPPY EASTER!!!

We are so thankful. So, so thankful. Humbled. Blown away. Thankful for family and friends, OH yes, but most thankful for the ah-mazing sacrifice made on our behalf and that we have such an incredible, praise-worthy Creator! Words cannot express His goodness...

Playing outside after church.

C.C. not in a picture-taking mood. Oh well!


That Daddy is hilarious!

Taking a little swing break.

Loooooove my sister!

Hunting for eggs with SC...

I got one!!!

Enjoying Easter treats with some dear neighborhood friends.

Gran's

The girls and I headed to Princeton for a quick trip to give Granny her "Happy Easter!" hug in person... Sarah and Axel were down from Chicago and the kids had a great time playing outside.

"Keep your eye on the call, Carter Caroline."

Sweet Bandaddy.... trying to foster C.C.'s competitive spirit.

Kate was not loving the idea of actually putting the baby (Naomi Katherine) down to swing the bat. She clearly inherited her mother's athletic drive.

The kids looooooooove the golf cart! Kate gets to drive (with a grown-up pushing the pedals of course!) and she is hilarious. There is a sound-effect and commentary for every turn of the wheel and she is large and in charge. C.C. insisted on driving this time, too, and never really did get the hang of actually looking forward while moving. Oh well.

We couldn't really take the kids on the course over the weekend for many reasons, but mostly because of C.C.'s teradactyl squeal. So I think we killed a ring of grass circling Granny's entire house with how much we rode the cart around her yard and her block.

"Axel, tell me when they aren't looking and I'll take you for a joy ride through the neighborhood."

"If only my feet could reach the peddles!"

Kickball!

The girls. (Some of them.)

Easter Party

Kate's Easter party at school was last week, and was such a fun day!

C.C. and Charlie waiting patiently for the big kids to come out of the Jesus Walk.

On the hunt!!!!!

Checking out the candy selection inside.

C.C. watching the big kids hunt for eggs... happy as long as she has her graham cracker!

Debriefing on the spoils... Kate, Luke & Jack.

"I can't wait to be a big kid!"

After the festivities Kate's teacher decided to wind the kids down with a story. C.C. went right up front and perched herself in the throne. "Don't mind if I do!"
