A Happy Easter

We had a wonderful Easter! Ethan woke up early and instead of coming into our room to wake us up as he usually does, he looked downstairs and spotted his first egg and hurried right down to see what was inside!

He hunted high and low and had very little trouble finding his Easter Basket.

Quintan, on the other hand slept in and was rather oblivious to the fun and festivitiesbut was happy and excited to see the eggs all the same!

Ethan enjoyed all his candy so much he thought he'd try the chalk too:)

After church we headed up to the Poggio's for a great food, great company, and even more egg hunting!

This was serious business, hard hat and all:)
We had a wonderful day, playing, eating, hunting and spending time with family, but the hightlight for me came in a few simple words from Ethan.

Me: what did you talk about in nursery today?

Ethan: The big rock.

Me: Oh yeah, you talked about a rock?

Ethan: Yeah, they rolled it away. They rolled it away and Jesus wasn't there!!!

I loved hearing his excitement as he told me that the tomb was empty.

I am grateful to know that the tomb was empty on that third day and excited about what that means for me and my family. I know that jesus lives.

Happy Easter everyone!

Lucky 6

As I sit here and watch the snow accumulate on the grass its hard to believe that almost 1 year ago exactly we were in mexico sipping margaritas, and soaking up the sun to celebrate our 5 year anniversary!

While we weren't able to hit the beach this year, due to one very attached baby boy and our desire to save for a new house, I'm still so happy to be married to the man of my dreams! Steve is such a wonderful husband, not to mention father. And even though i never would have thought it possible 6 years ago I am more in love with Steve today than I've ever been! Here's to lucky number 6...

A few days ago I ran upstairs to change Quintan's diaper. Normally I can hear pretty well what Ethan is doing downstairs, but I noticed that it got really quiet and I started to get a little suspicious. Still, being in the middle of the diaper change I decided to finish the job before going down to see what Ethan was up to...

This is what I found.

The Offence:

Eating Chocolate Cake out of the Garbage
