(Yes, still catching up...) My friend Melanie is always coming up with the most creative ideas... for Easter, she invited us and another family over to create "Resurrection Gardens." Aside from being a lot of fun, it made such a great and visible aid to teach the kids about Christ's Passion. On Friday we talked about Jesus' death and put a little cloth inside the tomb, representing Jesus' burial. Then we kept checking all evening Friday and all day Saturday, but it was still there. Then Sunday morning, before the kids got up, we took out the cloth and moved the "stone". They ran straight out to check it when they woke up and were so excited to see that it was empty! Such a great visual aid! We still use it to help answer questions about Jesus. Thanks, Melanie.
Took the kids to visit my folks in Ohio after Easter. A five day trip turned in to 10 when we all got a bad case of crud while there. Nevertheless, there was plenty of fun to be had...
Kaitlyn got very confident on her bike...
Zach and Dad had special time every morning (Zach's my early riser, and Dad would get up with him so I could go back to bed for a couple more hours. It was WONDERFUL!)
Kaitlyn began experimenting with climbing trees. She's actually only a few feet off the ground, but looks much higher at first glance!
They both look like they're up to something...
I hated that we all got sick, but we sure enjoyed the extended visit!
