Though I don't like to identity myself with Judas, who betrayed Christ, when I realize I am more like him than any of the other characters that make up the incredible Easter story, I am in absolute awe and wonder at God's mercy and forgiveness. That He could and DOES forgive such as I!
His love astounds me.
Our egg coloring this year included son L's girlfriend and her brother. I love listening to tweens and teens interact, just having fun.
We welcomed daughter H home for Easter dinner. It was good to see her!
When son C realized I was going to take a picture of him mashing the potatoes, he wanted to be sure I had a good shot of his arm! haha
Daughter G always does a beautiful job setting the table! Love her artistic eye.
Family. Love.
After the adults all napped (!) we did an indoor egg hunt, because the outside temps were on the cold side and our kids have all turned into wimps. ;)
Sorting the candy! A time honored tradition for children of all ages, apparently. My college kids never say no to free candy.
Amidst the flow of the trappings of Easter, it is a humbling joy to consider what Jesus was willing to endure for me, and all that His resurrection means to me on a daily basis. He is everything.

Good to "see" you again--I had gotten away from reading blogs for a while. And it's great to see all those young adults that aren't "kids" anymore!
