Easter

Here's our kiddos on Easter morning right before church. Everyone still looked pretty much together (check out Jay's shirt.) :)

We had a wonderful day. My parents, my brother & his wife, niece, & nephew came for lunch. The usual fare of ham and plenty of starches and desserts were on the menu. Man, we all ate too much. Maybe just I ate too much. :)

That evening we went to the DuPlessis' get-together and that was nice as well. There's a boatload of us......33! There's 20 grandkids and one is already married. Before long....there could be another round of little ones again..........since Elizabeth is in dental school, she'll probably say way down the road. :)

I hope you and your family celebrated our Risen Lord in a bible believing church. Bunnies and baskets are fun, but having eternal hope and security in the unsecure world we live in is vital.

Have a great day,

Marcy

Moments That Can't Be Bought

As you must know by now, I have 3 kids and a wonderful husband. I've a habit, and a strong one, of making sure I "tuck" the kids in each and every night. Dear hubby laughs at the importance it plays in my life. Nonetheless, I do it. I do it and am rewarded by words like these.

(Conversation between Kate and I last night.)

Kate: (calling from her bed in that sweet voice reserved for twisting moms around finger) "Mommy, you coming up?"

Me: "Of course, Tator Tot" (pet name for Kate)

(Minutes later I make my way to her bedside.)

Kate: "Mommy?"

Me: "Yes, honey?"

Kate: "Will you always tuck me in? Even when I get older?"

Me: "Absolutely. Always. Promise me one thing though, okay?"

Kate: "What's that?"

Me. "That you'll always want me to."


Here's the deal. To think that my Heavenly Father loves me like that. Amazing. Wait a minute. That He loves me MORE than that. Unfathomable. I can't get my mind around that kind of stuff. I guess I just have to believe it, huh?

Children are just a taste of the blessings God has stored up for those who love Him. Oh, and what sweet tastes they are. (Psalm 127:3)

Happy Friday!

Yes, it's March 8th. It's March 8th in Kentucky. In 2 weeks we will celebrate Easter, but today, we are shoveling snow. :)

The kids have had a ball in the white stuff. Jim took them sledding this morning and now everyone is home and thawing out. The question is how long until I hear......"mom, can we go out again?" That always gets asked as soon as I've washed and put away everyone's gear. :)

Enjoy the snow!
