EASTER EGG MANIA

Nathan is very proud of his egg that he colored. When you tell him to pose and smile, he just can't do it. He HAS to be goofy, it's involuntary for him.

Tim made one that said "I love Tra" ahhh.



After we colored our eggs of course we had to go hide them!
Here Nathan is telling his dad, you can't look!! Stop taking pictures because then you'll know where the eggs are Dad!
In the picture below it's his turn to find the eggs.

He is KING of the egg hunt!

The pictures to follow are from the easter egg hunt at the local park. We had a blast at that one! 10,000 easter eggs to find.



Nathan actually found a special egg, that said you won a prize! We went up to the prize booth and it was a very nice easter basket with special goodies in it. It even had sidewalk chalk in the shape of eggs, he was overwhelmed with excitement on that one!

We had a wonderful easter holiday. It is certainly a holiday of joy, to celebrate Jesus is risen! At the same time it is a time of remembrance of how Jesus was crucified for our sins. Thank you God for sending your son and thank you Jesus for enduring the cross for the world.

We called Joseph to wish him a Happy Easter! The foster family was like what? So I know they celebrate Easter there, but they call it something else. I've heard "holy week" being thrown around on some message boards. Joseph didn't want to talk, but we talked to him and he listened. Nathan said hello to him too. The foster family has someone in their family who is going to be traveling to Nashville, Tennessee in the next couple of months! Oh how we wish they could bring Joseph with them!!!!

PGN opens again on Wednesday of this week. We are praying to hear good news by the end of the week.

I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday!

Thanks for the new blog. It's great to hear about your Happy Easter. We wish we could have been there to share in the fun. Yes, Easter is special reminding us of what Christ did for us. I loved singing the songs about it. I like the paint colors on your walls. We finally get to see them! Give my big boy a big hug and kiss for me. We are praying with you for Joseph. Bunches of love,
Phyllis

Tra rocks!

Thanks!

To those of you who have given financially to help complete our family and give Joseph a home, there are not words to describe our gratitude. Simply know that you will forever be a part of our family, and we thank God for you.
