Spring is here!

Finally a few rays of sunshine are peeking through the rain clouds with a promise for warmer days ahead!

Grandma Pierce's flowers and grand boys!
Pretty hyacinths pushing up through the old brown earth.
When the sun is shining, we are all smiles here!

Playing some peek-a-boo. He's saying "peek"!

What we did on the first day of spring - made yummy brownies!

Happy Spring! Happy Face!
Today was our church's Easter egg hunt. The boys have looked forward to it all week!

God was good and kept back the rain! (See the finished clubhouse in the background!)
We are so excited that Daddy has finished the clubhouse! Jon did a terrific job building it from scratch.

Ethan loves it! Especially the little front door with its little door knob and latch!
Back to the church Easter egg hunt, He had so much fun in the big jumpy play place.

This face says it all! He went down this slide so many times I lost count!
I am looking forward to tomorrow as we celebrate our Risen Savior! Here is one of my favorite Bible passages

 Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, "Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?" But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it.  I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside.  Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals." Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders.  He came and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne.  And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.  You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth." Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders.  In a loud voice they sang: "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!" Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!" - Revelation chapter 5

Easter Blessings to our dear family and friends!
