Duck, Duck

DUCK! Ha, you thought I'd say goose ;]

Just wanted to wish you all a very Happy Easter :]
We went out to the farm yesterday afternoon for their Earth Day celebration and let Lily run around like a heathen child. She wanted to steal this duck, but we didn't let her.

This was her last Earth Day...melt my heart!

Hopefully you remember that this weekend has nothing to do with Chocolate Rabbits and plastic eggs.

Romans 1:4-5

And Jesus Christ our Lord was shown to be the Son of God when God powerfully raised him from the dead by means of the Holy Spirit. Through Christ, God has given us the privilege and authority to tell Gentiles everywhere what God has done for them, so that they will believe and obey him, bringing glory to his name. (NLT)

Earth Day in Pictures and THE Surprise!

Well, today ended up being really, really gray. BUT I did get to take some pictures!

Lily helped pick weeds in the salad garden


Then ate a LOT she shouldn't have...stupid flowers.



This is the cute shirt she wore today


When we got to the farm we saw goats,


and chickens



and rabbits [those were Katie's and Ava's fav's]



Overall, it was a good trip. We got rained...ahem, misted out, so we went home. On the way back, lily got super tired and hungry and was doing her usual pterodactyl scream. Super sweet Katie said "Lily...you can stop screaming. My head hurts." HA! Exactly, Katie, exactly.

I was actually reconsidering going because I was anxiously awaiting a package from the UPS man all day. I ended up missing him, but he entrusted said precious package with our [moron] apartment office. I'll let it slide this time...Can you guess what it was?



YUP! The lens to my camera! I am doing it y'all! I'll explain more later, but lets just say in a few months you may be seeing some pictures of some mamas working hard to get their babies in Rockport! WHEW! Feels good to announce it finally!

PLUUUUS!

You'll be seeing a lot more of this guy



And, of course, a lot more of this girl



Super excited to share this journey with you!
FINGERS CROSSED!
