Easter Belssings

What a wonderful holiday we had! We realize we have so many things to be grateful for. This year has really brought us so many surprises. A year ago at this time we took the plunge without a clue what was in store and here we are celebrating such a special time of year in a fabulous city with beautiful weather and wonderful friends. We're blessed to have our health, jobs and each other. The bluebonnets were in full bloom and gave us an opportunity to soak up some sun. We had so much fun and I love to see them appreiate the outdoors as much as they do.

The Easter eggs were died this year with minimal mess which amazes even the clean freak in me! Last year Beau resembled the Incredible Hulk, this year we were very careful for some reason.

The morning hunt went well, although it was extremely early. and we got a glimpse of the competitive side in our kids; not sure where they get that from:) I am still picking Easter grass out of the carpet...

We had a wonderful dinner with our good friends Jeff, Emily and Jack of course the Easter Bunny left some goodies for the kids there as well.

I am so grateful for all the Lord has allowed us to do with our lives and I thank him every day for the life he's helped Justin and I guide our family through. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend as well! Love and God Bless ~

Kids and Beds...

So since we've lived in this apartment I think it's fair to say we actually sleep as a couple in our bed 25% of the time. Most nights are filled with Beau stumbling in, rotating horizontally and managing to wedge a heel in my or Justin's side and then push his abnormally large head into the other person. Needless to say one of us is on the couch before the morning comes. So to solve this dilemma we decided to get the kids they're own queen bed, thinking the toddler beds just didn't provide enough room.

We've found that Linnea thinks this is just the best thing ever and immediately claimed it as "her bed", Beau on the other hand could care less. If anything it's a larger trampoline for him to catapult from. He's always jumping and not allowing anyone to get any sleep. I guess it's an improvement to say that Linnea and I now share a room and the Boys have the master but I do wonder if I will ever get my bed back to myself...or take control of this house once and again for that matter!
