Happy Easter

While I know Zachary wasn't too happy (he was quite hungry by this point) it is the best shot I got of the 3 kids together.

I kind of thought that was a pretty sweet photo

Zachary on his first Easter. His outfit (0-3 months, the smallest they made) was huge on him. I know the hat is a little cheesy, but Calvin wore it on his first Easter. Zach had to wear it, too.

I have to admit, Calvin looked pretty studly in his Easter outfit.

Emerald thought Zachary's bunny ears were funny

We had a very blessed Easter. Easter, as you know, is a very sweet time for me. Skip and I got engaged at Easter, we had placement with both Emerald and Calvin just before Easter, and we continued counting our many blessings this Easter. It has been sweet hearing Emerald repeat (in her own terms) the true meaning of Easter. She seems to understand that "the bad men killed Jesus and He died on the cross. Then He rose up on Easter." I'm pretty proud of her.

It was a full weekend. We started painting Emerald's room on Friday, and continued to work on it over the weekend. We aren't quite done yet. Sunday Skip's parents came up and went to church with us. The Easter bunny brought some wonderful things in baskets while we were at church and even hid some eggs in the house, yard, and on Nana's lap. Good thing she is such a sound napper! :) She didn't even hear him come in the house! Jeff, Heidi, and Josiah came over that night for supper. The next day we hosted Skip's grandmother, 2 aunts, and 2 cousins. We painted Easter eggs (pics to come) and showed Zachary and Josiah just how much fun Easter can be. I think the kids enjoyed a little too much sugar with both candy and dessert!
