Easter Carnival

Even with the weather a bit overcast, that didn't stop Abby and Holli from taking the kids out to celebrate Easter around El Dorado. In the morning they went to the hospital egg hunt and then I met them at the Presbyterian Church for the Easter Carnival. Logan had just woke up and Payton and Grayson were asleep when they arrived. We colored coloring pages, crafted crosses and bookmarks, hunted eggs, threw bean bags at the animals in Noah's Ark and found all the wonderful bubble blowing wands. Logan doesn't quite have the keep the wand flat in the bubble solution but he liked trying all the different wands. The kids had a great time but Nana had the best time. Logan is going to church with me in the morning!

Update

Since our team returned to the states, Jan has purchased a house 3 blocks from her current house to begin an orphanage. 11 children from St Marc will be residing there. One of the children has tested positive for HIV and has started on meds. Stephanie will be headed back there to help the team learn how to provide for this special child. Christopher's Hope is such a blessing to these children.
On this Easter weekend, we are so blessed to have Jesus's saving grace and love. What a great God we serve to give his only Son to die on the cross for us so we can have peace and joy! Victory in the cross that Jesus bore.

Playing in the Dirt

So yesterday Diana and I went to the ranch and pulled on the tiller to turn over some dirt. Planted some fabulous onion plants that Wayne had started. The four different varites should be yummy! It was so beautiful out in the pasture and the ranch is so neat! I'm waiting to see the deer and all the snakes that will be coming out soon. I got to sit on the big John Deere and imagine myself as a country girl. Later Ethi had a cookout and the storm blew in which was beautiful colorful. The grass fire was beautiful from a distance!
