Thoughts of the day

 These three are still in Norway.

Miss our chats and miss them...it's been 8 days now!!

{miss E playing with the wind up chickie we gave her for Easter

to keep her busy on the airplane}

Gram arrived! She came on Wed and will be here for another 13 days!

We love it when Gram is here! Isn't she gorgeous??!!

 The Easter Bunny came Saturday mid morning.

He always comes on Saturday. We love it.

Sunday we can focus on the real reason for Easter.

How'd we get such gorgeous almost-grow-up-kids!!??

 **tender mercy**

Franny (middle) posted this pic of Elder Engstrom and Elder Call on facebook.

Apparently he was visiting down in Lethbridge and met up with these two.

We love Franny!!!

{I might think that Elder Call may or may not need a haircut about now....!}

Tomorrow night I head out with this handsome guy for an 8 day trip to France.

{business trip}

Sooo excited, but a little anxious as well. I always am when I leave the kids.

They will be in GREAT hands with Gram...

let's just say I worry the regular mom worry! 

Extremely blessed and happy to know the real reason why we celebrate Easter.

#becauseofhim

So thankful for Him, His sacrifice, His love, His hand that reaches out to us constantly!

If you haven't seen this already go now!!

What are you waiting for??!!

 Jesus is the Son of God, our Savior and Redeemer. Because of Him, death is not the end, and life takes on new meaning. We can change, we can start over—and we can live again with God. This Easter, celebrate His life and discover all that’s possible because of Him.
