"Art Made With Hands"

Our kids really like to draw and paint and play with Playdough. Sometimes they come up with some surprising and funny things. For example, one night Jonah and Seth created a museum for us to visit. They each made pictures, made post-its to show who drew each picture, and at the bottom they put "Art Made With Hands". Good stuff!
Seth REALLY loves playdough. One night he sat at the kitchen table and created this little guy.

This is one of my favorite pictures that Jonah has ever made. In case his art is too deep for you, that's an alien in a gunfight with a wolf above ground while a worm in a top hat and a beetle box underground. (Notice the sun's face!)

Picnic at Norton Art Gallery

Had a picnic last Monday with the Gordons at the Norton Art Gallery. Everything there is in bloom and it was really nice. The kids had a great time exploring everything. Just thought I would post a few pics of all the kids...here they are!

Jonah's looking so much older these days--his hair is longer and he is the tallest one in his class. The kid's growing up so fast!Our Seth...probably one of the most happy-go-lucky kids around!Abram thinks he is one of the older boys. He tries to do everything they do. He's a lot of fun these days.

The family...we don't get many chances to take a pic with all of us in it. Thanks, Gordons! Hmm...looks like there's room for one more little guy! Check out our adoption blog if you haven't already: www.filltheemptychair.blogspot.com.

Happy Easter!

For our family, celebrating Easter with eggs, chocolate and bunnies takes a backseat to celebrating Christ's resurrection and victory over sin and death. Our church had a moving and meaningful Good Friday service that has become a highlight of our year. We also had a great time today worshipping with our church family and eating with our family family. However, the bunnies and egg hunts are inevitable (especially with kids). Here are some pics of the festivities:

My mom made this bunny cake for the boys. Reminded me of when she used to make these for us each year when we were little.
Speaking of bunnies....

Abram got to tag along during Jonah's Easter party at school. He was all smiles.

Oh yeah, Seth got to tag along too. Jonah's class had to find eggs that spelled HAPPY EASTER--each egg was marked with a letter---great idea!

Here is Abram tagging along again..this time at Seth's Easter party. That's the story of Abram's life, tagging along. He've very good at it!

By the way, we just started a separate adoption blog for those interested in following our road to adoption. Hope you will check it out!
