Easter treats
grandpa teaching them the 'hot and cold' game
complete with bunny cake (adam's dad has made this every year for pretty much ever)
adam was on call all day and night of Easter day (2nd year in a row we have not gotten a family Easter pic...stinkin' call schedule, but oh well!) so the kids and i decided to take a day trip to visit my brother and his sweet wife and kiddos. we went to early church (SUCH a beautiful service and sidenote:i love, love, love our church) and then left for the nearly two hour drive. i borrowed a friend's dvd player since i was by myself and i would say it made the drive about 500 times more peaceful than it would have been otherwise. that is one good use of tv i think. it was the subaru's final tour because tomorrow we pick up our new-to-us van (we are so thankful for this provision for our growing family as the old station-wagon is a rather tight fit with all those carseats).
here we are going on a walk with 5 kids, a double stroller, a tricycle, a bike, a scooter, a pushing truck, and miles was in the ergo
thank you tom and kelly for welcoming us with all the chaos we bring and for loving us so well, feeding us so much food, and generally being beautiful instruments of grace to this tired mama. love you!

plus we were there for my nephew's birthday cupcakes and gifts so that was so fun too! my old college roomie and her husband even stopped by for some cake (good to see you guys, rach!)
we are thankful for sweet family with whom to celebrate, but even more thankful for our redemption in Christ...taking failing, struggling, weak me (us) and welcoming us at His table of life-giving bread.
