Sunday Snapshot(s):

| Happy Easter!! We attempted a picture at church...but clearly that didn't go the best.... |
For Easter Sunday we had a breakfast, egg hunt, and worship at church then went to Kyle and Ashley's for brunch and minute to win it games.
We of course had to get some family phtotos!
 |
| we said "say He is Risen" |
 |
| while shouting "He is risen" they thought they needed to point... |
 |
| a semi normal one! |
 |
| maybe Declan has to go potty? (Which, do you notice he has on shorts now and at church he didn't? haha....while walking to the car we realized he had peed his pants. Not real sure when!) |
The egg hunt at church
 |
| Raelynn and Sienna |
 |
 |
| Elliana, Raelynn, and Jackson |
Minute to win it games....trying to stack three golf balls!
 |
| the boys were up early hiding eggs at the church... |
 |
| On Monday we went to the zoo with the Rusevs |
 |
| precious. Elliana has been asking to rock a lot lately. We can remember when not that long ago (but what does seem like a long time) we would have to wrap Elliana up and force her to rock with us and talk to her through her tears. God has brought us so far. Adoption is beauty on the heals of hurt and sorrow. It's pretty hard to resist saying yes when she wants to rock. |
April 9 is a special day for us. We celebrate the day Elliana legally was declared ours in a small courtroom on the other side of the world. This year we celebrated with cupcakes and this family selfie of all of us is one of my favorite pictures:)

| We got a new screen door for the front door. Best purchase for the house. It has been so lovely having the fresh air in and the nice breeze as well as letting in some light! The kids like to sit and look out the door. We haven't put up the little flap yet so they like to stick their feet out. Thankfully we haven't had any lizards come in yet! |
Friday night meatballs this week was another full house. We had 10 kids between three families and we also had a couple over who have four grown adult children all walking with the Lord so it was fun to just let them talk and bless us with their experiences.
 |
| Every Friday night he is right there doing the dishes. He always insists I go sit on the couch. He is such a servant a blessing to me. |
The kids had some fake flowers we were planting in playdough....then they transferred them to the dirt outside....then that turned into lets plant some grass seed outside....but then Ike (and Colt) ate it...so Daddy took the kids out to get some real flowers to plant! He came home with such a variety and a beautiful new hydrangea for the front walkway.
Saturday night we went to Bed Bath and Beyond because we had found a gift card and we had to pick something up. It was not too exciting to find out there wasn't much on the gift card...so we only left with tweezers, a grill brush, and a bottle of soap. But the kids saw this furniture outside and thought it was fun to lay on it. I made the mistake of asking what color car they each guessed would be next to pass...I forgot that parking lots aren't super busy at night and we ended up sitting there a while waiting for a car! ha. But they loved it!
Love all the beautiful colors in the family photos! That picture of Brent and Elliana is just the sweetest!! Fresh flowers always add a depth of beauty!!
