Favorite Faces

I took a bunch of pictures of the kids on Easter day. We went for a little walk in the woods all decked in their Easter garb. It was very picturesque with the flowering trees and the sun beaming through the still bare branches. I had some fun with the photo editing program on our computer, as you can see. I love these sweet faces. It's amazing how each picture gives a glimpse of their individual personalities. What joy to be able to watch them grow and develop those God given qualities that set them apart and display the handiwork of their loving creator. Amazing!

It's Bloomin' Beautiful around here

I have a lot more flower pictures posted on our web page if you are interested. I try to take a walk everyday and some days I take my camera. I don't get much excersize on those days...



















Ok - I know I come up with pretty cheesy titles but I couldn't resist. I'm just so excited that spring is here and everything is coming alive. I'm coming alive! Deep sigh. I wish my overall outlook on life wasn't so dependent on the weather, but something happens to me when I open the door in the morning and am met with a blast of warm, fresh, flower scented air, the sun shining on my face and the melodious sounds of birds praising their maker. It makes me want to join them in their songs and skip and twirl like a big dork all the way to my morning class. If it was a harsh, cold, gray day - I doubt I would have half the exuberance. I'm pretty sure that every day will feel like the first day of spring in heaven. Except way way better.
