Gracie's first chalk drawing

Gracie has made HUGE jumps this year. I am just in awe at how much she is learning at preschool and am so thankful that the CVRPD exists so we can afford it. When she started school, we were getting scribbles and messy lines. After a few months, the artwork improved tremendously and I could actually tell what she was drawing. This picture on her chalkboard was the first time she drew a house and the whole family!! Wow! Never thought I would be so thrilled to be a round head on two sticks, but this momma is PROUD!!! So, the circle in the attic is daddy (he is fixing something), the circle to the left of the door is mommy, the shape in the door is Gracie, and the squiggle to the right is Skylar or Minnie Mouse...it changes daily. She also drew a sun for the first time I saw and a flower all on her own! She is just amazing!!! I am so very happy her imagination is developing so nicely. Kindergarten here we come!!!

Easter

So Easter was fun this year!! Totally different than before -- we had 2 little pretty girls to get Easter dresses for!! Thanks to Aunt Becky, Skylar was taken care of...ain't she cute???

We sure had a grand Easter!! We had our time of celebrating our risen Lord twice!! Once at church, and once with the family! It was a blessed time and sure was fun.

Gracie had a great time at Sunday School making disappearing marshmallow rolls...not only were they yummy, but she learned that Jesus was no longer in the tomb! (I guess when you micro the marshmallow wrapped in a crescent roll, the mallow disappears...what will they think of next???) We still hear about the marshmallow..."its gone mommy!! And so is Jesus!! Now He is in heaven and lives in our hearts!" Woo hoo!! She gets it! Praise Him!

I am blessed to have such a great hubby who loves spending time with all his girls! Even though we outnumber him!! He and Gracie had a great time together...no homework, just time. Our week was sure fun...coloring eggs, going to church all fancy, dinner at Goody's, then lunch at Grandma's with the fam and a HUGE egg hunt!! Thank you, Lord, for the beautiful day Easter really is. Without your sacrifice, there wouldn't be an Easter to celebrate. Your love is overwhelming and we are not worthy...thank you for saving us anyway.

Hope you all had a great Easter too! He is RISEN!!!!
