Love

Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy.
That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business.
What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy if anything can.

Thomas Merton (1915 - 1968)

Easter Exploration

In the afternoon, the girl child and I went on a walk.  She on her scooter and I on my feet.

She scooted fast!

We left the scooter behind at the steps leading down to the nature trail and kept our eyes open.  We saw a grasshopper.

And bees checking out flowers.

She crossed the bridge and then made a hasty retreat back to me when she noticed a little swarm of bees.

But we braved on and found this tree farther along down the path.  It looked like it would fall over if we touched it.

We saw trees with funky bark.

And others covered in moss.

When we got to the creek, we saw big animal tracks with some pretty long toe nails.

Chloe took off her shoes to wade into the creek and said it wasn't TOO too cold.

Although she didn't venture much deeper than her ankles.

On the way home, we saw some baby mushrooms.

Shortly after our adventure, we headed up to the Mexican restaurant for dinner with the Grandmas.  Perfect ending to a wonderful day!

Happy Easter!

This morning started off with an early morning egg hunt in the backyard.


The Easter Bunny even hid eggs in trees.

And bird feeders.




Notice anyone looking left out?  Hint: the pet door had not been put in place yet.

After all, it was before 7am when this Easter egg started.

Jezzie was nearby once the loot was brought inside as she needed to see what was found.

Ooooh, the Easter Bunny hid sports eggs for the boy child.

And pastel chickies for the girl child to find outside.

Not all of the eggs had candy, some had coins.  Score!


Happy Easter!

Now we're off to church for the early morning service.

Easter Bunny

Before we ate lunch, we let the kids eat a little Easter candy.  Chloe chose the big, chocolate, Easter bunny.


Hunting Easter Eggs

After we got home from church, we hid the kids' Easter eggs for them.  They had fun running around the house finding the eggs.



Chloe had to crawl under the dining room table to find one of her eggs.

They both had so much fun hunting for eggs!

Such delight on their faces when they found the particularly 'tough' eggs.

Easter Morning

Before we left for church, we snapped a few pics in front of the garage door.

We started off with smiling kids.

They were very sweet.
And then we had pouting.

And only one sweet kid.
