easter 2011

tonight i sit at the computer contemplating an easter-themed blog. i've been trying to come up with the right words to show honor and worship God for the sacrifice of His son. a sacrifice that Jesus so willingly made so that we can spend eternity with Him... but all i can think about is the little voice in the next room yelling at me. it starts out really softly... "mama... ma-ma... ma-ma-ma... mama... MAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and then, i am reminded... i don't need to have an eloquent speech. i don't need to know all the "right" words for someone else. what i need is to teach my babies that someday they won't yell for mama, but to call on Jesus! they not only need to learn it, but to see evidence of it every day. that's my job... to show them God, to teach them of His love, joy, peace, kindness, and to help them understand His mercy and grace. i mean, these are all things i know... and, i'm probably preachin' to the choir... but, sometimes i need a little reminder. this is one of those moments.

so now, let me show you how our easter morning picture taking went...

not so well...

apparently, bug didn't think it was as good of an idea as the rest of us did.

dang. those kids are so stinkin' cute.

awww... bug. ok, i'd better get her before she wakes up cale.

happy easter ~ anne
