I have to admit. Easter snuck up on us this year. I feel like I didn't prepare my heart during the lenten season like I could have. The celebration of Christ's resurrection is so huge, so deep, so profound, and unfortunately this year, I feel like I missed out. Sorry to have a sad Easter post, but it's true.
Our family time was good though! I didn't get a good picture of everyone but here are a few shots.
Just after the Easter-egg hunt.
We book-ended the Easter day with vomiting. Kaila threw up first thing in the morning, and Josiah threw up around 11pm. Because of that, we had a mellow stay-home morning. My favorite part was our little family bible-study together in Josiah's room that Ryan led.
We taught Josiah and Kaila just enough...
Mommy and Daddy: "Josiah, what happened on Easter?"
Josiah: "Jesus rose from the dead!....Ummmm, Jesus not like the dead?...Winny the poo like the dead?"
Kaila: "weeus oose eead!!" Translation-"Jesus rose dead!"
Yep, just enough. : )
Josiah hadn't thrown up yet and Kaila didn't really seem sick at all, so we still ventured out to our family gathering. My Granny hosted, like she always does, and provided a beautiful meal.
Regardless of my state, it remains true that the greatest gift we have ever been given can be summarized by the traditional exclamation;
"He is Risen!"
The response, "He is Risen Indeed" rings in my head and I am so grateful for God's deep love and forgiveness on the cross.
Happy Easter

Crazy! We had a throw up morning too, and Joshy and Michael missed church! And it was his first sick and lasted only the morning. Weird that we had similar experiences for Easter! And I'm with ya on having felt missed out. It IS such a deep remembrance day.
Oh, man! Sorry you had a sick holiday! Those are the worst!!
Your kiddos look absolutely adorable though!!
And yes, he has risen indeed! :)
