Kids at the park

 These pictures were actually taken in January when Mom came to visit.  We went to the park after Mackenzie and I took Brooke and Alex to the airport.  It was such a pretty day.

 Marcus actually let me take pictures of him ( very, very rare!)

                  Look at that smile!

What a photogenic shot!

Dying eggs and Easter Day

                                     The sun was bright, kids could barely stand there, Marcus refused to take a 2nd photo...

                      Every year at church we add flowers to the cross, by the time it's full, it's beautiful

Sure wishing we could be back home with family and friends to share this day.  However, the weather is beautiful today...mid 80's!
