Life's Birdnest

"Spring forward"- My lesson to learn today would come from the perfectly shaped Robin's nest that has nestled in my ivy arrangement on the deck. I took notice of the little nest over a week ago. It started with just being twigs... then a soft covering of mud so water wouldn't spoil it. Each day it seemed to become more beautiful. I showed Austin and Emily and we were thrilled that she chose our deck to make her home. Over the weekend we discovered one little egg, then another, and another. Soon three eggs were there. So perfectly blue and beautiful. No one has seen mommy bird yet, except Emily did this morning.

Our good scripture reminds us when Jesus said "Behold the birds of the air. They sow not, nor reap, nor gather into barns. Yet, your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they?" How real is our God who cares about us so much. In this same scripture reference Jesus admonished us not to worry. He said those who don't know God are consumed with the"cares of this life". A simple lesson from a Robin's nest.

Family Fun Night

We enjoyed our very special "night out" with our good friends the Ellis family. First, we ate dinner together @ CiCi's Pizza then off to WVU coliseum to see the world famous "Harlem Globetrotters". We were in for a treat as "Big Easy" and "Hi Rise" MC'd while they played against the Washington Generals. . Austin said he dreams of dribbling for them some day and being called "Vanilla swirl". What a game. During halftime we enjoyed the show and our frozen lemonades. What a Fun Evening!!

Spring Break

What a wonderful Spring Break. We started Easter Sunday in WV at the Ellis house. Dan and Becky were so nice to share the holiday with us. Becky prepared a beautiful meal and the kids enjoyed the afternoon of egg hunting and the family game of B-Ball. Off to Cincy, we spent a couple of nights with my sister, Sherry. We ate all of our old favorites, Skyline Cheese Coneys, Larosa's Pizza, and of course Graeters Ice Cream. We enjoyed Sherry and her beautiful home. We also caught up with our friends Steve and Michelle. Thanks for the delicious meal. You have a sweet family! While still in town we took in the Zoo and the Creation Museum. If you get the chance to go to the Creation Museum... Go! It is wonderful! Moving right along, we traveled to Louisville, Ky to visit David's Brother Brian, Angela and their children Sydnee and Jack. We enjoyed them very much. Can't wait to see you in HH. On the road again to Indy to visit our Special Life Long Friends Danny and Ronda England. We had a wonderful time at their Bed & Breakfast. They are the perfect host. The kids had as much fun as we did. We look forward to future vacations together. Ya'll have a precious family! We loved seeing Mark, Anita, Nate and Ron & Diane. We love your family!
