Coach Pitch

It has been so much fun to watch Gehrig play baseball this Spring! He has moved up to coach-pitch this year and likes it so much better than tball. And he seems so much bigger now...

Fun at the field...

Love him :)

Easter

Hi. It's me. Still here...just WAY behind on everything. :) Hopefully, this'll be the catch up week!

For Easter this year, we started a new tradition from Ann Voskamp called "Trail to the Tree." It is a 17-day devotional leading up to Easter that involves making an Easter tree. It was beautiful, convicting, engaging and perfect for setting our minds on Christ. It was awesome to know that so many families were meditating on those same truths each day. I meant to take a picture of our finished product but forgot...here it is after the first few days.

Because this April was overwhelming packed full, we missed out on any community events, but the kids did enjoy hunting eggs at school.

And Easter Sunday...He is risen indeed! Gehrig got a new Action Bible and LOVES it! He hasn't missed a day reading it. Thanks for the recommendation, Katie!

He is not here; he has risen, just as he said! Matthew 28:6

Field Day

Perfect weather with a great setting and sweet friends made for a really fun field day with our co-op group. So thankful for everyone who put it together!

In line for the tire swing :)

Greer enjoyed some quiet time checking out the horses...

...and some fun water play for the littles.

Gehr did great running after spinning in the dizzy bat race!

And the girls and I cheered him on :)

Water balloon toss!

That turned into an all-out water balloon fight :).

Refueling with a picnic lunch with the Rucks...

...while stealing pics of Garner's bud, cutie Mac on the next blanket :)

Big kids pushed the smaller ones on the tire swing and Gehrig loved it!

A group pic at the end...love these kids!

Spring Break

With Daddy working for Masters week, we enjoyed a visit from Bebe (without pics...boo) and a trip to RH to see Jenn, Madi and Sam. It was a great relaxing week in the midst of the craziest year so far!

She's starting to sit up...

Fun with Sam-man

Closing in, haha :)

No worries, a chaperone was nearby...

It was so fun to see Papa one night there too...and finally get his Christmas presents to him!

Meanwhile, the babes...

A pic with Papa :)

Watching Wipeout!

Also got to see (half of) the Aultmans!

Can't get enough of these two :)

We started the new tradition this year of the Easter tree. It is so special to share traditions with friends. We got started there with them and began our own when we got home.

Great buds!

This didn't work the first time!

A couple more of Sam and Garner...I could eat them up!

And the view from here...these are the days I miss...

Parent Baby Dedication

My child, pay attention to what I say. Listen carefully to my words.

Don't lose sight of them. Let them penetrate deep into your heart,

For they bring life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body.

Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.

Avoid all perverse talk; stay away from corrupt speech.

Look straight ahead and fix your eyes on what lies before you.

Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path. Proverbs 4:20-26

Thank you sweet family and friends for sharing this special time with us too and praying for us as we raise Garner to know, love and follow Jesus with all her heart.
