Cast Free

Makayla got her cast off yesterday! She was very excited. The Doctor said the break is healing right on schedule. She will be in a brace for three weeks and then hopefully we will be cleared from the orthopedic.
Her skin under the cast looked amazing. Her arm is really pale and thin but she has been working that arm out. She is doing great!

Kids Say the Darnest Things

My kids (like everyones kids) are always providing us free entertainment. I wanted to share with you some recent quotes from my kiddos.

The other night I was tucking Makayla in and bent down to give her a kiss and she yelled "WHEW" "That is a giant pimple on your face!"      my reply- "gee thanks"

A few weeks ago we were eating dinner and the Easter story came up. Christopher wanted to know about the Disciple Tom...humm I had to think for a second and I asked him "You mean Thomas?"
"Yes Thomas that's the guy"-he replied

We then started talking about Peter and James Henry then chimed in very loudly "Peter is Spider-Man"
"True." I said.  -Hard to argue with that one.

 Christopher's retort was "I always picture Peter like the Peter on Ghostbusters." 
-OK I can see that.

Easter 2012

We had a wonderful Easter weekend. James has been working so much that we decided to stay low-key this Easter. In fact the Lord had his hand in us being low-key because Thursday morning Makayla woke up sick and when we got to the Doctor and discovered she had strep throat I had them check James Henry and sure enough he had it too.So we were home bound! James did get home on Thursday in time for me to make it to the hospital to see my dear friend who welcomed a precious baby girl.
   Friday we had a ministry event with our fifth and sixth graders so I stayed home with the kids. Saturday was full of cake making....

and egg dyeing....

On Sunday we went to Sunrise Service. It was amazing!

Here are the kids checking out their loot from their baskets...

James Henry was very slow at egg hunting...

Our big kids dragged him along....

We had a wonderful Easter! Praise God the tomb was empty!!
