The Egg Hunt(s)

Our good friends, the Kvales, had us along on Saturday. Wow, can those Kvales hunt for eggs. Wil didn't quite get into the competitive spirit, he examined each egg carefully, and in the end, he preferred the blue colored eggs to the rest. The girls enjoyed the tea cup ride at the fun center's egg hunt (were we egg hunted for free rides), and a good time was had by all, even Heather and I who imposed a "Mommy tax" on some of the chocolate. Okay, so I can't complain about it when my pants get tooo tight again.

Cuddling the Easter Bunny at The Egg Hunt

So Wil really likes Kitties and bunnies and puppies as 3 year olds normally do. But apparently he also likes ginormous Easter bunny costumes as well. Here he is pictured rubbing his cheek on the bunny's soft "fur" .

The Haircut

David buzzed all of Wil's hair off. Yes, I mean all of it. In the first stage, he resembled Dr. Phil ( like toddler male-pattern baldness). I was somewhat taken aback by the sudden change, but it is much easier to style his head now :) Plus, he was not screaming during the entire haircut like he usually does, so that was worth the sacrifice.

My Socks

This post is for Jonesey. I made this with an empty Oxygen Cleaner Bucket and some scrapbooking supplies. This is one of my "new year" organizational babysteps. The February Good Housekeeping recommended 3 glass jars for the laundry room- one for socks, one for loose items found in pockets and one for used dryer sheets( I am not motivated at all to save the dryer sheets).

Pray for Haiti

"There is a beauty to the good use of a life, and to the acknowledgment that everything you have and do has a Kingdom purpose. " Sara Groves

A friend of mine, Margaret Davis, recently went to Haiti with an aid group. She helped give the impoverished people in Haiti much needed dental care. While she was there, she was deeply moved by the extreme poverty and all the reality that comes from the poverty. Like the heaps of trash everywhere, even in front of a hospital. When the trash pile buids up, they just burn it all.

Please pray for the poor and needy in Haiti, and that God will use his children to bless all those in need in third world countries around the world.

Happy Birthday!

I can't believe that he is already nine. In nine more years, he'll be an adult. But he is still my baby :)

The Tree

I am so sad that we have to take down the tree soon. We actually cut down our own tree this year. Okay, so I just watched while David cut it down and carried it and tied it on top of the van. Here is a picture that just doesn't do it justice.
