hunting eggs
Like many others, our boys participated in a egg hunt this past weekend at G & G Van Dam's house. In the days leading about to Easter that's about all they talked about.
Brendan - It's about Jesus rising from the dead.
Austin - Jesus rose!!!
Lucas - yeah, He rose!!
Connor - I don't know (I guess I need to teach him so more)
and here's a little story that bought me to tears earlier this week. At dinnertime, the boys all say their own prayers. Sometimes they very short, and other times so long that the food starts to cool down. They have all prayed about Ally and her pups for the past 2 weeks, and they've been praying that there will be no more earthquakes in Haiti and Chile. But what melted my heart was when Lucas prayed,
" and God, thank you for letting God die on the cross for me, and thank you for that Lord."
Sure he didn't have wording just right, but I think he gets it; and that's so comforting to me.

7
The past 10 days the boys have been told they need to stay away for the puppies, which if you can imagine is very hard for 4 boys who want to play with 7 little puppies. Mommy dog has been very protective of her pups and usually ends up growling and has tried to bite the boys. So Mike and I thought it best if the boys don't get near them without one of us around.
Last night, Mike took the puppies out of the Ally's doghouse and locked Ally is the barn so the boys could spend some time with the puppies. The boys were SOOOO excited,but I think Connor loves the "little babies" the best. He just kept saying "They're so cute."
Hopefully by the end of the week they will open their eyes and became a bit more activity.
