better late than never:)  i’m just now getting to all of our easter pictures.  i think my favorite pictures every year are of the boys coloring eggs.  so here they are for your viewing pleasure ;)

here they are on easter morning.  let’s just say that they started on the candy early….and yes, that’s bob marley on eli’s shirt…gotta love it.

dylan’s mouth was full, and i love his expression.  eli’s bedhead is my favorite.

we read this really great children’s book the night before about easter, it explained Jesus’ death and the resurrection very well, and on their level.  it brought up a lot of questions.  also the last couple of weeks eli has been soaking in these audio bible stories that i picked up.  he always listens to audio books when he plays, and before he falls asleep at night, and the bible stories haven’t come out of his cd player since i brought them home.

anyway, on easter morning, eric’s sister asked eli what he has been up to lately, to which he replied:

“ive really been getting into God lately…”

and he’s been praying like crazy.  the other night he was sick, and he really wanted to get better so he could go to a birthday party the next day.  at about 3AM i heard him taking loudly in his room.  i went in and asked him to be quiet because everyone was sleeping, and told him he needed to go to sleep too.  he said “but mom, i’m praying that i’ll feel better in the morning.”  i went on to explain that God can hear our whispers….

man i love my boy:)

another easter post is coming soon….
