Happy Easter!

On Easter Sunday, we went to church with our family and then, as we usually do on holidays, went to my parents to celebrate with one another. We had an egg hunt for the kids and some delicious food. Just thinking about the tri-tip we had is making me hungry…and maybe you too.

How’d that get there?

Grandpa is pretty silly when it comes to hiding these eggs.

There’s another one!

He was more interested in this strange prickly stuff called grass.

Wasn’t he EGGstra cute in his little sweater?

Did I mention there was money in these eggs?

Cha-ching!

Happy Easter 2013!

Our Lord Jesus has risen!

He. Is. ALIVE.

Meeting Casey

My sister-in-law and her husband just recently adopted a beautiful baby girl named Casey. She was a preemie so she needed a little extra time to grow in the hospital before she could come home. After over 80 days in the NICU, this itty bitty girl was ready! Her parents were overjoyed and we were so blessed to be able to finally meet her.

We think Casey is such a cool little gal that we saw her a few days later too.

Here are some pictures from our visit.

It was also St. Patty’s Day. Hence, the green… Green with envy

 

Looking forward to more fun days with Casey!
