What a great Easter Sunday! Everything went well today! The kids weren’t even terribly disappointed that we didn’t hunt for eggs. We decided to take the focus off male rabbits that lay eggs and put it on Jesus’ resurrection. It was a good day, and everyone has been happy all day! Yay!

Here are a few photos from our afternoon at Nana’s house…
Ken and Fancy shared the story of Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection with a set of Resurrection Eggs. Ken also prepared some delicious deviled eggs for us.

We had a great time with bubbles and kites (representing rising from the grave). The tulips are from Nana’s happy centerpiece. Tulips are such joyful flowers!

I hope it was a wonderful Sunday for you, too!

Day 301

Just some Sunday snaps today. Nathan has a new favorite game – Throw Pillows at Nathan. Ken would throw the pillows at Nathan, he would fall on the couch in hysterical laughter, and Molly would bite Ken. Great game!

(Molly always bites at Ken playfully when he’s wrestling with the kids. It cracks me up!)

Day 279

I had some questions about yesterday’s collage layout…I did it at Bighugelabs.com. The Mosaic Maker is fun! Might take some playing to figure it out, but I love the results. Today’s collage is another one I made there…

Our family and Felice’s family went to play at the river again. We had a great time! Andrew was catching fish with a butterfly net…Caleb had fun on the floaty thing…everyone was enjoying the water – until snack time. Then it was necessary to have a seat on a towel and have a nibble. I think we’re all worn out tonight!

Day 270

I took a bunch of photos today! I have another collage here. I have a whole bunch posted on my family blog. But I’ll just post two here.

I took this on my morning walk. It’s in that collage, but it’s too small to appreciate in there.

This one was taken during our trip to the river.

Day 175

We were all outside enjoying spring weather…enjoying it the way it was meant to be enjoyed – watching someone work! Ken was seeding what IS GOING TO BE A LAWN! We have tried for 3 years to have a lawn in the front yard, and this year it IS going to happen!

While Ken worked, the kids were all watching, and I got an opportunity for a rare snapshot – all 7 kids in one frame!

Andrew and Nathan were trying to jump at the same time so I could get a shot of them in the air…
 

I never did succeed in catching one frame with both of them jumping. Oh well.

Caleb didn’t want to miss out on the photo fun, and begged me to take a picture of his pose…

He sure knows how to work it! 

They’re all just family snapshots today, but that’s just the way it goes.

E & S, I don’t quite know what to do with Bootcamp Assignment #3…I guess I’ll need to use one of my “same old” models and try to get it done this week.

Day 169

 

We took the kids to the park today. We live on a fairly busy street, so there’s no good place for the kids to ride bikes and scooters. The park has a blacktop parking lot that’s great for scooting! There’s also a playground and some great space for kite flying…

Day 149

Just family stuff today...it was a busy Tuesday, and my body seems to think I've developing bronchitis. I know that I'm not, because I wouldn't do such a thing right before my 4-day trip with my sweetie. So in an effort to conserve my energy, I just took a some snapshots of the family doing their thing this evening. Here are two of my men...

(for those who want to know such things, I bounced the flash off the ceiling at full power for both of these.) 

Day 117

Quick post tonight...I waited way too late to post. Here are a few shots from our family walk at the Lee Metcalf Wildlife Refuge...

Here are some shots of Jenn and her family...

Day 68

It took me all day to get around to picking up my camera. That's rare. I just didn't have enough desire to do anything...until fairly late in the day, anyway. But I decided to just capture some shots of the family doing their thing...

It feel like bedtime already, and it's only 7:30. I think my bedtime will be around 7:45. 

Day 30

After yesterday's photo, I'm kinda disappointed with this one, but I got through almost the whole day without picking up my camera, so I had to take a family shot after the sun went down. This is part of our family life - praying before meals. I am so thankful for all the God provides for us. And tonight Caleb was thankful too - he prayed and thanked God for the Lord, for making Mommy and Daddy strong, and for our food. What a sweetie!
