Easter and other news!

We are so blessed as always. I say that alot but really there is not another phrase that could sum up our life better. We are today and always SOOOO blessed. We celebrated our Risen Saviour today, (the kiddos were sick on national Easter, so we had Carswell Easter.) It was such a blessing watching our children devour the truth of Jesus' death, burial and ressurrection. Conner wasn't quite old enough to get it but he will and we pray daily for all three childrens' salvation.

Conner's third surgery went really well. It was the first time we haven't tried to do the 10 hour drive in a 24 hour time frame. (5 hours there, hospital for 2 hours and then 5 hours back makes for a long day!) We took Mallory and Makenna along and it was such a blessing even if we were only there for a little under 48 hours. Dr. Hochman said Conner looked wonderful. We are scheduled again for the beginning of May.

We also were encouraged to have a benefit for Conner this weekend. A dear friend at work hosted a benefit at her church and it was such a blessing. Lots of wonderful friends came and the singing (minus me lol) was wonderful. We were given a little over $1000 in donations and it was just amazing. Thank you to our families, friends and the wonderful people at Crossroads Community Church.

I also just wanted to share a tidbit....Conner is making words!!! He says "Boom-Boom" which the girls insist come from the many times they recite "Chicka-Chicka Boom-Boom", their favorite book, to him. He also says DADADADADADA! I guess momma will come later and it will be wonderful! He wants to roll everywhere and is still the happiest little boy I have ever seen.

Thank you as always for your prayers, love, support and encouragment....and without further ado....SOME PICTURES for your viewing enjoyment!!!
