4 Easter Egg Hunts Later!

What a weekend we have had! We thought that we were going to have fun last year with Audrey being 1 but this year has truly been fun to teach Audrey all about Easter.

Right before this holiday Audrey learned how to share the Gospel at Bible Study. So it was neat to incorporate what she was learning with the reason we celebrate Easter.

On Thursday Audrey's school had an Easter party complete with an egg hunt and cookies.

Friday, our good friend Mrs. Josie had her annual Easter Egg Hunt at her lovely home. We had so much fun and enjoyed being with all our best buds. It was neat to see how much all of our friends had improved in their hunting skills from last year.

Then on Saturday Audrey and I decorated hard boiled eggs and talked about why we celebrate Easter, I think she has some understanding. That afternoon we went to our church's Easter celebration. I want to commend them for a well-planned and Christ centered celebration. They had several egg hunts for the different ages, along with the Resurrection story, sidewalk chalk drawings, kite flying, bounce houses and balloon releasing.

Finally, today we went to our adopted families' Easter Lunch (The Stoddard Family). We all had a great time! The brisket was wonderful along with all the sides. Audrey just loves being with her adopted cousins and had a blast with them. Oh yeah, more Easter Egg hunting!

Did I mention that I made Audrey and Bear's dresses? My Mom made me Easter dresses when I was growing up and I had fond memories. I want her to have the same great memories too!

Say Hello to Myles

On April 2nd we went in for a 4-D sonogram! My mom was able to come for the weekend to join us for this neat occasion. I was 22 weeks at the time. This was our 3rd sonogram and our 1st time to have a 4-D sonogram.

Matthew, Audrey, my mom and myself all piled into the sonogram room and we were amazed at how much we could see of our baby boy. Myles (our boy's name) kept his fists close and tight in front of his face. Matthew was proud of his pugilists stance. Myles means soldier, so what a fitting name. I like that name because I want our kids to be great advocates and partners for Christ. "Onward Christian Solider!"

After the appointment, Audrey went to school and showed all her classmates her brother's picture. She is a proud big sister who is excitedly awaiting her brother's arrival.
