Tonight, I just thought I would share some pictures.... The first is of Ethan and Cala on Friday night during our weekly "family night". It was actually Seth's turn to choose everything (from food to "treat" to game we play or activity we do). He chose cheeseburgers and fries (home made by Glenn - and he stuffed them with bacon, cheese and ranch dressing! YUMMY!). Seth chose fudge filled cookies for the treat and Trouble for the game. We had a lot of fun that night!The next picture is of all three kids this morning (Saturday) right after we gave them their Easter baskets. We have chosen to do all Easter egg/basket/candy stuff on Saturday so we keep Sunday all about the real meaning of Easter. 
The kids really had a good time today, and as is tradition, the adults hunt eggs too. HA! We even had a prize egg, won by Cala. Yes, it was just our three kids and it was all inside (as it was snowing all day today), but it was fun and the things memories are made of...
Later during the day, we went to Target to do some grocery shopping and looking around. Let me just say I was exhausted after that trip! It seems Grumpy Gus decided to go along, er Seth. HA! I was beyond frustrated at one point and suddenly he disarms me with, "Mama. You is pretty." Next thing I know, I am hugging him, telling him thank you, only to hear from Ethan, "you don't think I'm a good boy?!" uggghhh
I am really looking forward to our Easter Sunday. We are having church here in our home as we were not allowed to have it where we normally do because of the holiday. After church, we are eating Sunday dinner (lunch) with some folks that attend church. That should be nice.
Hoping I sleep well tonight. I really am tired. HAPPY EASTER!

So you found an egg, too?! :o)
This hymn has always been very special to me. Always makes me cry, too.
Praying right now!
"I Know that My Redeemer Lives"
by Samuel Medley, 1738-1799
1. I know that my Redeemer lives;
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, He lives, who once was dead;
He lives, my ever-living Head.
2. He lives triumphant from the grave,
He lives eternally to save,
He lives all-glorious in the sky,
He lives exalted there on high.
3. He lives to bless me with His love,
He lives to plead for me above.
He lives my hungry soul to feed,
He lives to help in time of need.
4. He lives to grant me rich supply,
He lives to guide me with His eye,
He lives to comfort me when faint,
He lives to hear my soul's complaint.
5. He lives to silence all my fears,
He lives to wipe away my tears
He lives to calm my troubled heart,
He lives all blessings to impart.
6. He lives, my kind, wise, heavenly Friend,
He lives and loves me to the end;
He lives, and while He lives, I'll sing;
He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King.
7. He lives and grants me daily breath;
He lives, and I shall conquer death:
He lives my mansion to prepare;
He Iives to bring me safely there.
8. He lives, all glory to His name!
He lives, my Jesus, still the same.
Oh, the sweet joy this sentence gives,
"I know that my Redeemer lives!"

Hymn #200 from

Stopping by to let you know I'm still here praying!
Psalms 59:16-17 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.
