Easter 2012

Josh & Cate were a great help at celebrating Easter in the USA.  We had to color eggs and make a bunny cake of course.  In the midst of family dinners and egg hunting we also took time to explain what was so great about Easter.  This is when we celebrate Christ rising from the grave after he took our sins to the cross.  We had some great conversations about this and are once again thankful to KGCH in the Philippines for the Godly start in life they gave to Josh & Cate.  These kids have a great biblical foundation for being so young.  Praise God for KGCH.  Thank you! 

Grandma Carol & Grandpa Bob came to celebrate with us plus our oldest son, Luke, was able to join our festivities and we loved having him with us.  Thanks Luke for making the drive.  We missed the others....Susi (traveling in Ireland/England), Nick/Autumn/Nolan and Courtney/Zach and Grandma Joan.

Church on Sunday was amazing and we all wore our finest clothes.  The 4 of us worked hard for matching outfits.  We thought it was fun that Josh & Jeff were twins plus Cate and I looked similar.  Josh woke up with a stiff neck and he is standing a little crooked in these pictures.  It was a painful day for him but he is tough and was not about to miss out on anything!

As soon as church was over and the pictures were taken it was back to the play clothes and the outdoor fun.  Kite flying was the best part of the windy afternoon.  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for new kites.  They flew even better here then on the beach.

Of course we need a few special pictures of our grandson Nolan to end the updates.  We were able to facetime with him on Easter and that was really fun.  He was visiting his other Grandma & Grandpa and I know that was fun for everyone. 

 Children are just such a precious gift from God.  We love all of our family and are so thankful for their love for the Lord.  Happy Easter!  We serve a risen Christ!  It doesn't get any better than that.  I pray you know Him today.

Choosing Joy,
Chris & crew
