Easter

Here are pictures of our cute kids on Easter morning.

In Sunday school today our bishop taught the lesson and posed the question: what would it mean, what would be different in your life, if you knew the resurrection and the atonement were real? 

Silly question, I thought. I already believe those things to be real. But, there is a difference to "believing" and "believing in." And that was his point. Do I simply believe in Christ, or do I believe Christ? 

I believe Him. I kniw his promises will be kept. That knowledge should have a powerful influence on how I act and how I respond to the number of challenges I face daily. And because this is so personal to me, I'll just leave it at that.

Easter Eve

On the night before Easter, all through the house, moving boxes sat unpacked, waiting on the honey-do list I've made for my spouse.

And that's as far as my rhyming goes for tonight. :-)

Yesterday was my birthday. My mom worked long and hard on a beautiful and delicious cake for me, covered in things that I love-chocolate covered strawberries and Cadbury milk chocolate eggs...yummy! ! ! 

Carter worked hard on his Easter eggs, dipping each egg in every color until I finally had to say we were done.

Avy watched from her high chair feeding herself peachers and making a real mess.

And Nate worked hard on putting together Carter's bed, now it's just noon and dad whose mattress on the floor!
:-) We are getting there!
