Hippity Hoppity








Easter seemed to arrive rather quickly this year. The girlie had a fun little party at school and was escorted by Mommy and Daddy to an Easter egg hunt at church. Both of which Mommy forgot to bring the camera. She did, however, manage to remember to take pictures of the girlie looking all cute in her little dress Easter morning. She kept pointing to her toes saying "pink toes. pink toes"!! Mommy did get a picture of the girlie holding the bucket she got at school from their egg hunt and one of the eggs she found at church. She really enjoyed herself at both events!

When Did You Get So Big?!


Pretending to sleep




The time has finally arrived. The Girlie is now officially in her big girl bed, and the response was unbelievable. She is now hot stuff, A #1, Miss Thang with a big ole capital T!!! She is too short to climb up in her bed on her own, but we have put her step stool (have to get a new one for the bathroom) and taught her how to climb it. Again unbelievable!!! It took her no time at all to figure it out! Now we just have to hope that the excitement wears off soon, so she will actually sleep. :0) WTG Emma!!!

p.s.
T - she picked out her clothes by herself. You like?

You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I'm still here so far away from home

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

In Christ, there are no goodbye
And in Christ, there is no end
So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
To see you again
To see you again

And I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

I've never been more homesick than now
