Happy Easter

I have secretly been wanting to have a blog for a looooong time, but frankly didn't have the courage to do it.  I wondered if I even should considering I didn't start it from Hadley's birth and then the longer I put it off, the worse it seemed to start it!  However, I so love reading other people's blogs and admire/appreciate the journal they are keeping for their families. So this is my attempt at keeping up with our family memories!


Our sweet Hadley girl is 2 years 5 months old.  She was so much fun at Easter this year as she was able to actually run and understand that she needed to pick up the eggs.  Such a difference from her first two Easters!  Here's our little Easter bunny at 4 months (left) and 16 months (right).  Oh so sweet!


Hadley had lots of fun finding her Easter basket this year. The Easter Bunny doesn't make things too hard yet....it was displayed proudly on the fireplace with Dora goodies, nonetheless.  She was awfully proud of the Easter bunnies on her church dress. 




I do love dressing Hadley up in Holiday/Seasonal-themed clothing while I still have the opportunity.  Maybe it's the teacher in me, or maybe because I live in the most wonderful area in the world to get to experience all the seasons?  I don't know, but it is a bit of an obsession. 

After a great Easter service, we headed to Auburn to visit with our White/Hughes family.  Nana and Grandaddy Hughes had their annual Easter egg hunt where Grandaddy still insists on dyeing eggs for every grandchild, grandchild-in-law, and now great-grandchildren.  He even hand writes our names on each one.   It is very special to me.

We ended the time with a delicious cookout.  Cousins Amelia and Jack were in from Evansville and Hadley really took to Amelia, who is a year and a half older. 


 It was great to spend time with sweet family....I cherish those times.  We had a wonderful Easter and are so very thankful, most of all, for the sacrfice Christ made for us on the cross at Calvary!!
