We pray that each of you had a wonderful weekend celebrating our Lord.
Our weekend was busy and wonderful. It started on Friday, with a party at Bailey's school. The kids had an Easter egg hunt and then a party with, of course, lots of sugar. Bailey quickly learned how to put a big handful of jelly beans on her plate. When I asked her to stop eating them and to try eating the chicken fingers instead, her reply was "well, these are good". Yep...she has her Mommy's sweet tooth :)
On Saturday, we went down to visit with some friends who recently relocated from Mableton to Peachtree City. They have a lovely large home and had invited several family and friends over to celebrate. We had some good food, great fellowship and the kids LOVED the Easter egg hunt (Danny and Weslee had put out close to 300 eggs!). By this time, Bailey was really getting the hang of it and was running to each egg. It was a lot of fun. Weslee loves to embroidered things and she and Danny were gracious and bought each child their own bag (which Wes embroidered with each child's name). Bailey loves hers and is now using it as her school bag :)
On Sunday, Bailey was able to wear her fancy Easter dress. She is such a girlie-girl; she loves wearing fancy dresses. We had a wonderful time at church together; such a great day to celebrate.
Baby is doing well...if she's a girl. If baby is a boy, we might have a problem. Boo has been asking for a baby sister for about a year (she still doesn't know/understand that I am pregnant). Her school taught about Easter these past couple of weeks and a few nights ago I checked on her (she was suppose to be sleeping) to find her standing up in bed, curtain pulled back and blinds open. She told me that she had to find Jesus up in the clouds and ask Him for a baby sister. Made my heart melt. Now, each night before she goes to sleep, I get to hear to pray to God in her own simple 4 year old way. Curtain open, blinds pulled back looking for Jesus in the clouds. It's the most precious thing to hear. Brings tears to my eyes just writing this. We have Bailey pray for dinner most nights, but it's a prayer that we've taught her so, it's not...from the heart. Not really I guess. I mean, I think it's still great and we want to instill prayer in our children, but there's nothing better than hearing your child use their own words when they talk to God.
Happy Easter....we love you all.
