He is RISEN!

We had a blessed Easter weekend and BIG fun in the Big A! We headed out to Nana's on Friday morning. I must say that this is one of the few places where my hubby will actually chill out and relax and we all enjoy it when he takes a deep breath :)!

It was so much fun to be with Nana. I hope and pray that I will be like her...healthy, fun, seeking God and serving others...at age 81. She is amazing. Alex really wanted to snuggle and sit in her lap or have her hold him most of the weekend. Needless to say, she is a bit fragile to have a 5 year old crawling on her, but they improvised and he got plenty of "snuggle buggle" time in. Anna was not real happy to share "her Nana" Since she has taken many trips out to Andrews with just her and Nan, she has become a bit accustomed to having Nana all to her self. But she was able to gain the time she needed...check out the pictures of them dressing each other up!

We were also able to spend time with some great family friends during the trip. Chris and Alex had the pleasure of going to a Christian Wrestling Federation "showdown" with several daddys and their little boys. As Chris said, "It was the most redneck thing you have ever seen." But Alex declared, "It was AWESOME!" At the end of event the wrestlers shared their testimonies and gave an altar call. Alex went down front all by his self and asked Jesus into his heart! I know that he will remember that event and his decision forever, it was a memory-making night. I fully believe that he understands the decision he made as much as any 5 year old can. When he got home he told me all about it and is very happy that he will be going to heaven, however, he has realized he is the youngest in our family of four and is a bit worried about being the last to make it there. In his mind, the oldest will go first. I can't help but hope and pray that we will all go together at the sounding of the trumpet!

We are fully back into the swing of our normal routine. Anna was up late working on a school project and Chris just walked in the door from City Council meeting. I will be headed to Plano in the morning, so I am off to bed.

Blessings,
