Spring Time definitely reminds me of birth! Not only because it is when both of my own babies were born, or when everything in the yard blooms, but also because it is the Easter season too! We were so excited to share the holiday weekend with another newly born babe, cousin Leo. We enjoyed a weekend filled with egg hunts, Easter candy, ham and eggs, Easter parties, the Bunny and new Sunday church clothes. Leo was a champ on his first road trip sleeping like a baby and letting his eager cousins take turns holding and smothering him. Isabelle thinks she is his first babysitter and feels very experienced now that she has "raised" Olivia. And Livi walks around all day still saying Leo and looking for her new buddy. They are only 11 months apart and actually quite close in size! I think they are going to be the best of friends!
Easter is a wonderful time to remember the Resurrection of our Savior and to be grateful for the gift of Eternal Life. Isabelle is quite thrilled about the fact that we will all live together again as a family and often wishes aloud that the Savior would return to earth TONIGHT! Ben and I feel like we could use a bit more time here on Earth first, but every once in a while share her enthousiasm.
I know that my Redemeer lives, how simple this sweet sentence is.
