Taylor Swift sums it up the best!

Do yourself a favor - scroll down through the music play list and listen to "Never Grow Up". I love it and feel it should be the blog theme song, as well as our family theme song at this state of life. I love it - you will too. Get the tissues ready!:)

This is Happy Easter, Hear the Bluebirds Sing!

I can't think of Easter, and not think of a few favorite lines from old Easter hymns we would sing at church growing up. I'll be honest, that line is probably all that I remember for that song - I think then I would have to go into the "avoid the word" hum, so we can move on!

Easter was great this year. We went to Caneyville and spent some time visiting with family and had a few egg hunts (the church, as well as the "cousin" hunt). Ella found the prize egg at church and was estatic. I'm not sure who was more excited - me or her! I remember always really wanting the prize egg, but it was usually always Marita or Tyler that would find it. Strange what sticks with us, right? Bless her heart, though, she was willing to give away anything out of her prize that Owen or Kinsley wanted. Such a sweet spirit - I find myself praying often that I don't do anything that might crush her generous heart or spirit of thoughtfulness towards others.

We came home, and what a blessing! We had amazing weather the whole trip back, which is saying something since the storms probably let up for the exact amount of time we were on the road. Easter Sunday was very low key, which was nice (especially after Ronnie had 5 services). The girls loved their basket treasures and new lunch bags from the bunny. Apparently, the bunny inadvertedly changed things up this year and didn't do the "hunt" around the house for the basket with clues like he did the past two years. I guess it slipped his mind that he had created a tradition and didn't realize it. I'm sure he will be more on top of that next time around!

On schedule for this week - figuring out something to do to help the victims of the Alabama diaster. We'll keep you posted!
