| These beautiful roses remind us of new life! |
 |
| At church, we had a girl raise her hand during the church service. She went back with Mrs. Messick and asked Christ to be her Saviour ~ new birth! |
 |
| God makes all things beautiful and he can change a life full of sin and make it beautiful too! |
 |
| Going to church is the main event on Sunday, but this was a special Sunday! |
 |
| We learned bout Jesus dying on the cross for our sins and then... rising from the dead! So we can have NEW LIFE in Christ! |
 |
| God gave us so many special blessings! |
 |
| Family is one of them! |
 |
| Hannah had a fun time pulling out all the Kleenex from the box before church started! Uh oh! |
 |
| Daniella was the only one who came on the church van. She was saved during VBS and has been a faithful attender. |
 |
| She chose not to go to the other Easter egg hunts at other churches and instead come to church and hear the Bible. |
 |
| We had a few more children come with family. |
 |
| ...and at Jr. Church time we had some more! :) |
 |
| On Saturday morning we "baked" no bake cookies! |
 |
| Nathan had fun putting coconut on the top. |
 |
| Ruthanne enjoyed it too! |
 |
| After lunch we went on a family walk. Ruthanne found a "flower." |
 |
| Nathan tagging behind. |
 |
| Cute picture! Daddy and daughter - walking and talking. |
 |
| After the walk, Mommy rests and Hannah finished her rice cakes. |
 |
| Playing in the backyard. |
 |
| This was my children's first time dying eggs. |
 |
| Everything was new and egg-citing! |
 |
| Hannah played contentedly by herself. |
 |
| Mama Smith got her "Grandma" time in. |
 |
| They colored with a clear crayon. |
 |
| Then.. plopped the eggs in! |
 |
| Nathan was patiently waiting to see what was next! |
 |
| Is it done yet? |
 |
| Time to eat the hard work! |
 |
| Yum! |
 |
| Hannah enjoyed her egg too! |
 |
| One morning, I went downstairs to get some laundry and came in the girl's room to find this scene! |
 |
| Playing house! With Hannah in the dolly bed! |
 |
| She seemed to be enjoying every moment of it! |
 |
| Then Ruthanne was practicing her nursing skills! |
 |
| And checking her medical books - "Franklin Goes To the Doctor." She was showing Nathan the pictures and telling him how to sit. |
 |
| ...then they played blocks. |
 |
| Like Nathan's smile? |
 |
| Hannah found a safer spot! |
 |
| To add to the excitement we got a package from Bapa and Mama Bird! |
 |
| Nathan letting Hannah climb on him. |
