Easter Rain

We had a night Easter egg hunt planned for tonight..the kids were so excited and I had Kettle corn carrots and all kinds of goodies for them and their friends...but sadly the rain would not let up...it was relentless and so we had to cancel the flashlight hunt. With the night free we decided...very last minute...to go to church.

The service was wonderful at the big church.....although we love our Oldham Campus there is still something special about Blankenbaker. The littles sat in church with us and they were so good! When the service started the music minister was talking and said Jesus...Lila recognized that word and said it loudly in recognition...Jesus!.....by this time he was done talking, of course, so the church was quiet and she was loud...everyone turned to us to see where that little voice came from....oh well...it's Easter! We had to fill in a card during the service with our biggest dreams...greatest disappointments...what we like doing that makes us happy. The kids filled them out too. We all...without knowing...put our favorite thing that makes us happy is spending time with our family.   I love that.

After church it was still raining...and late..and we were all hungry so we headed to the closest place...Cracker Barrel....where the boys discovered root beer from a frozen mug......they are hooked!

Lila was so sweet saying her prayer before she ate her supper...God love her!

As we left Riggs was walking with his hands in his pockets...so big...and I was just overwhelmed with emotion....just so happy...and feeling so blessed to have what I have....and knowing that time goes so fast. I could not wait to get home and get ready for the Easter bunny...to get lost in the magic of being a child!
