He has Risen...Halelujah!!!

I know Easter has already passed, but we need to celebrate the fact that Jesus is alive everyday. :o)

This year we had a quiet Easter. Grandma went to visit her sister in Charleston and she is usually with us each year. We went to Sunday School where we prayed for a family moving to Germany for 3 years b/c he is serving in the military. After SS, James and I had nursery front desk greeter duty. It was a little hectic, but I was glad to see the visitors and pray they heard God's speak to them that morning.

After church, we came home and ate leftovers. Ryland and I took naps and James worked on the trim in the living room. That evening, I cooked Easter dinner and we had a relaxing night before Monday morning started a new week of work.

Here are a couple of pics of us this Easter. I'll try to get some of Ryland finding eggs up shortly.

Ryland

It's been a while since I've posted on my little red head so I thought I'd take a minute to let you know what's he's up to and a couple of his comments that everyone says I should write down.


Ry: Mama?
Me: Yes Ryland?
Ry: You a sweetheart.

Ry on the way home from church: I'm thirsty!
Me: Wait til we get home and I'll get you something.
Ry: But I want it now! (Insert whiney voice)
Me: Well, you'll just have to wait til we get home.
Ry: Mom, God says "Give a child a drink". I guess that's the 11th commandment according to Ryland.


At breakfast:
Ry: Mom, I forgive you.
Me: Forgive me for what?
Ry: I forgive you for frustrating me.


James in the truck waiting for me to get something out of the house:
James: Sigh.....
Ryland: Daddy, why did you do that? You have an attitude.


Those are just a few that stood out to me while I'm typing this but the list goes on. It's so amazing to see what he comes up with. He is a spitfire and the saying about having a "red-headed temper" proves true with him.

He loves to play outside in the dirt and wants so bad to catch a lizard. I hate lizards and won't go near one so I've told him he has to wait until Daddy gets home. The other night, I asked James to help him catch one and so off the two of them went. James sticks his head in the door and tells me to come outside. Ryland is sitting outside with a lizard in his hand. The look of accomplishment and excitement was a picture moment so I had to run get the camera.


See what I mean?????
