Abundant Life: Easter Adventures

Easter Adventures

We didn't let a little rain stop us from having a great time at the neighborhood egg hunt.

Though the kids were a little annoyed that many children didn't follow the rule of only collecting 12 eggs (we hid 12 eggs per child)

Katie came over and helped us color easter eggs, which was really fun

and the kids were thrilled by their easter baskets even though they were very low key this year with only little flashlights and punchball balloons to supplement the requisite candy loot.

Our choir did great and we had a really nice spirit in all of our sunday meetings. Eater is such an wonderful day!

The last picture is a perfect family photo. Sarah with a sweet smile, Leelu looking like.. I don't know what -- sad or confused or maybe just angry that she is so tiny compared to everyone else. Kate looking ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE AND SASSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Ella doing something weird with her arm. I really really wish I could have been there and I'm very jealous that Katie is getting so much face time with my babes. :( I want that last picture on my wall!

Make up your mind to be happy-even when you don’t have money, even when you don’t have a clear complexion, even when you don’t have the Nobel Prize. Some of the happiest people I know have none of these things the world insists are necessary for satisfaction and joy. Why are they happy? I suppose it is because they don’t listen very well. Or they listen too well-to the things their hearts tell them. They glory in the beauty of the earth. They glory in the rivers and the canyons and the call of the meadowlark. They glory in the love of their families, the stumbling steps of a toddler, the wise and tender smile of the elderly. They glory in honest labor. They glory in the scriptures. They glory in the presence of the Holy Ghost. One thing I know for certain: the time we have here goes by far too quickly. Don’t waste any more time sitting on the bench watching life pass you by. -- Joseph B. Wirthlin

words to live by

When despair for the world grows in me, and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be -- I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought or grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. --Wendell Berry
