what a weekend

our last few days in pictures.....

Simeon got a new bike!
Just last week we prayed for a bike for him and
a few days later Aunt Kristen called to see if we would want this!
Thank you Jesus!


Justus didn't get a new bike and he was a bit distressed....



"But I don't have a helmet!" said Simeon....
Luckily he found something that works almost as well...



nothing makes Justus happier than when he gets to "shoot ball"


They hunted for Easter eggs two days in a row!
They loved it....




racing for the last one....
the little brother wins!




hugs for their little stuffed animals on Easter morning!




Yesterday we spent the day on a farm in PA....
my dear friend Aimee's parents live here and it is
breathtakingly beautiful. So relaxing, peaceful, full of life...
I hadn't seen Aimee in 6 years, had never met her beautiful little girl...
it was a wonderful day!


Sophia quickly became a buddy after a little while of shyness.
Simeon says she can't be a buddy though, because she's a gwirl.


It took Justus only about 20 minutes to fall into a creek,
hence the lack of clothing.
No surprise he wanted right back in...


gathering the eggs from the hens....
we also saw little lambs only a few days old.

beautiful......




Aimee and I....


We had such a great weekend - the boys are pooped, a little burnt and a little grouchy. I am sleepy, a little burnt and glad to spend a day at home. We spent a whole day with the Panters, a whole day with the Reamers and the weather was amazing. We played croquet, picture telephone, basketball, frisbee... had lots of talks and ate lots of yummy food.
Once again, much to be thankful for!!!

Elisabeth,
I have just started reading your blog and it has flooding me with memories. Memories of doing the same things you are doing and having the same thoughts. I love to see you relishing every moment...believe me...they fly. I didn't record many of these feelings...too busy...or didn't think they were worthy of recording. So, thank you for doing it for me. I love reliving it with you. Keep it up.

I am not sure if I like the picture of Justy without the shirt or the one with him not having a bike! Looks like you had a great few days! The farm looks so peaceful and that little girl is adorable. Glad you were able to go:)
