EASTER PICS

First of all, can I just say I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around the idea that in 3 weeks we'll be IN Ethiopia and will have had our boys for 2 days by now?!

crazy to think about!!

yesterday I reserved our guest house, we have plane tix on hold, and 1 bag of donations is already packed.




Now -on to our Easter pics. :)

It was a gorgeous Easter Sunday -mid 80's, sunshine, church, family...throw in an earthquake in the afternoon (we didn't feel it cuz we were driving, but our pool felt the quake as the water was sloshing all around!)...and it was a perfect day to celebrate Christ's resurrection!!

we're gonna have to get a wide angled lens to be able to get ALL the cousins in next year!

this is the best pic -can you see Jameson in the middle?! He was crying SO hard poor guy! But makes the pics funny as everyone else is smiling. :)

the big kids hide the eggs and the littles get to hunt for them

then, as is tradition for Easter, Mother's Day, and Father's Day -my parents set up the water toys and the kids PLAY!

This year was a slip * and *slide, water guns, and some big ball you fill up with water and as it rolls around acts like a sprinkler. :)

Jameson is getting in on the water gun action!

another tradition is for the big kids to run onto the slip/slide and grandpa or John will throw a football to them to catch while sliding.

Jordan caught this one!

I have more posts swirling around in my head...but need time to get them onto the computer! Time is a precious commodity these days as I try to keep up with regular life AND prepare to travel to the other side of the world to get our sons!
