easter 2015

I have to start with a thankful shout-out to Jenn for her shopping help with Easter-bunnying this year. The kids loved it!


Attempts at pics before church are always sketchy at best :)



After church::Always better :).  So glad to have our Link fam back here this year to celebrate together





Backyard egg hunt!  This pic cracks me up :))



The highs...


...and lows



Love :))


We read through Ann Voskamp's "Trail to the Tree" again this year and always love how it prepares our hearts to better appreciate Christ's sacrifice for each of us.  Although our finite minds will never fully grasp the greatness of the gospel this side of heaven, we worship and praise Him and pray to live lives that daily reflect and pursue Him with urgency.  Thank You, Jesus, for resurrecting our sinful natures through the cross!  Amazing, beautiful grace.

double date with mat kearney

Hard to beat a night with the Links + Mat Kearney + the Tabernacle!  So thankful for Mammaw coming to hang with the Gs to let us get away for a quick double date trip to Atlanta with our buds :)


We didn't realize until looking at the pics later that we were photobombed by the APD ;)


One of our favorite venues


And favorite artists...


And double-dating with best friends.  Good stuff :))

april book clubs

We had a great full month of Wednesday book clubs in April!  Garner is starting to express sadness over it wrapping up as summer arrives...it has been her favorite thing this year :)

The Runaway Bunny




Are You My Mother?






Jenn is so amazing with them :))





And finally, The Pout-Pout Fish (and Garner's backwards writing ;))



One more in May to finish out.  What a sweet and fun time we've had!

march

Oh the days are getting warmer...


...and the kids are getting bigger :))


Putting together all of their specifics on room rules ;)


Greer's sweet co-op class


And a fun night with the Sprouse boys :)





Crazy big treehouse at the playground near B's school



And nice walking trails too.  Love :)


Love these kiddos!  Dinner and a movie...




And early mornings after the time change.  I love that transition when the kids sleep late and it's still dark and cozy out for my red chair time with the Lord...


Meeting former UGA QB Hutson Mason!  Really great to hear his heart for God...


And school in the kitchen this day


Always a Greer-project going on :))



And one for Mama too this time!


Climby-McClimberson


And a co-op assignment that asked them to draw/write about something relating to their family history.  Gehrig immediately thought of the Bourne reunion and had a great time telling his class all about it :)


Sporting our green for St. Patty's day at co-op :)


That doubled for supporting Daddy's team at his game afterwards :).  Mammaw met us there and joined us for dinner too!


Sweet hiking with Grama and Grandpa Link :))


And a fun Bebe visit that weekend!  So thankful for good grandparent time :))



Spring snow


And lego-obsessing.  Thanks for the new sets, Bebe!


Reading-lesson time...so crazy that she's there already :(


And a date with Mama while the bigs were in testing.  Her cuteness is too much :))


Testing is finished!  Fun Cookout celebration with the Rucker boys...



Massey family reunion...cute cousin pic with Charlie :)


And Pa and Gretch too :))


Backyard play at the Links.  Love so much



And finally, the state Bible drill.  They all did a great job!  We're again so so thankful for this program and how much fun they have while they are writing so much of the Word on their hearts.



March is always its own version of madness for our family, but it was a good one this year.  And always good to head towards Spring Break and the end of the school year!
