Spring is glorious this year. Lots of much-needed rain has made the sunny days brighter and the blooming things even more beautiful. Our cherry tree, dogwood trees and some azaleas are in bloom now...and the show topper will be when the big, white azaleas in the front yard come into full bloom some time this week. 
Easter doesn't always coincide with the peak of the blooms, but this year it came close enough that we got a few cute pictures of the grandkids yeste

Billed as Allen's "65th birthday eggs-travaganza"...it did not disappoint in the "eggs-pectation" department. On the way to the party, the grandkids said they were so excited they could burst! They had a great time with the other kids hunting Easter eggs, jumping (and jumping, and jumping and jumping) in the inflatable birthday cake, and eating lots of candy...as well as some actual food.
On Friday we had the grandkids for the afternoon and evening. Emery gave me a very concise explanation of the whole story of Jesus' death and resurrection. He said that "Jesus died because all his blood came out. Then they put a big rock in front of the "creepy cave". But it's okay (he assured me) because He's alive!"Amen, Emery. Jesus is alive indeed...and I'm glad that I'm alive, too.
