Easter Morning

Here are a few snapshots of our fun Easter Egg Hunt on Easter Morning.









All That Glitters

This was Sara's 2nd year to do a science fair project. I know that she is a little young for the science fair, but each year she learns a little bit more about the scientific method. This year she grew crystals from Alum for her project. She enjoyed the process and loved telling the judges all about crystals. That kid loves to have an adult listen to her speak. She told me today, "Mom, I love speaking with you. It is so fun to have you listen to me."
While we were waiting for the judging to be completed we headed over to a nearby park to get out some energy.





A Place to Call Home

Yesterday was a great day! We were invited to a Dutch Oven Pot Luck and the transformation I saw in my family during this evening was wonderful. Even though I did not have a camera I will never forget the picture I saw. Sara chatting with anyone and everyone who would listen. Clayton running around screaming, "I am a salami." Instead of I am a zombie like the the other kids. And Jason having a great time talking to someone about cars and old friends. It was a moment that eased my heart and told me,"Yes, this can be our home."
It will still be a while longer before my children stop telling all the kids at the park how much better Dallas is. And Clayton doesn't scream that he wants to go back to our old house when throwing temper tantrums, but progress is being made. It is nights like the one we had yesterday that helps us all to feel like we can feel at home here.
