Hello friends and family! Eric and I welcomed our little girl, Grafton, into the world on January 9, 2009 and our baby boy, James, on December 2, 2010! We have just been blessed with our precious baby girl, Price, who was born August 28, 2012. We feel incredibly blessed and humbled, and we thank our gracious Lord above for all of our amazing family and friends. We hope this blog can give you a glimpse into our lives and a taste of how precious our children are. God is so so good, and we praise His Holy name.

"Happy Easter Party!"

We are so happy that Easter finally rolled around!  Grafton was so excited to tell everyone "Happy Easter Party!"- not sure where the "party" came in but she loves saying it!! We started the morning off with an old family tradition from my side....hunting MONEY-filled Easter Eggs!  Grafton loves loves loves money (starting early huh?!) so we filled ta dozen eggs with coins and hid them around the den. When the kids woke up, Grafton searched the chairs and couch and was thrilled to hear that the eggs rattled with nickels and dimes!!  It was hilarious to see her face when she first realized that the Easter bunny brought coins for her piggy bank!  After the hunt we went to church for our Easter service.  THEN we went to another Easter service in the Grove- with a church where a friend (Grafton's MMO teacher) of mine's husband preaches.  It was such a sweet service with blankets on the ground, children coloring and whispering, a great band with fantastic music, and a beautiful message. After the Grove service, we went to DeeDee and Pops' house for Easter lunch, and Uncle Scott and Kirsten came too!  My spoiled little children got MORE toys from the Easter Bunny at DeeDee and Pops' house and had a fun time hunting Easter Eggs and playing with their new toys.  It was a great day....not only for the fun "commercial" aspect of the day but more importantly for celebrating our RISEN Lord who died and rose for all of us! What a Glorious Glorious Day!
