{CHRIST IS RISEN... HE HAS RISEN INDEED!}

HAPPY EASTER! I've meant to post all week. We've been enjoying Holy Week complete with sunny, glorious Spring days. As Parker says," I see pretty plowers... Spring is HERE!!" Last weekend Parker had her first official Easter egg hunt. She quickly got the hang of it and now she's always asking for an egg treat ("because I'm such a sweet girl"). It's tough to say no to that!

Lilly, unfortunately, hasn't had an easy week. She started it off with Croup, followed by a big fall out of the stroller (yes, it's my fault for those of you wondering). I was preoccupied by the two dogs and Parker and forgot to buckle Lilly. She proceeded to hurl herself out of the stroller head first, hit the curb and rolled down an embankment. Let's just say I felt pretty guilty! You would think she'd start to figure out gravity but I think it's gotten worse. Since the big fall she seems more fearless than ever. Every day she's climbing on something and hurling herself out. It seriously looks like she's being beaten. I'll have to say she's one tough cookie!! It is funny how sisters can be so different. Parker is my little conservative rule follower. Lilly is going to be the adventuresome life of the party. She doesn't meet a stranger and she has no fear. I can tell I'm going to have my hands full, especially when she gets the hang of walking.

We finished off the week with the Resurrection Trail at church. It was a neat way to spend Good Friday, really focusing on the meaning of Easter. It lasted almost two hours and held Parker's attention most of the time. They had a donkey to touch, nails to hammer and characters dressed up. She was slightly confused but just wanted to see Jesus!

This Easter Sunday has been another beautiful day. We had a great service at church and then a delicious lunch at my mom's house with friends. I'll post those pictures soon. Hope you all have a blessed Easter!
