Pray...

So Chelle and Dan are going to the hospital tonight at 7:30 to get induced. She will be delivering the baby at the hospital. I can't believe she is going to go through the agony of labor for a baby already gone. What an incredibly painful process. It may take hours, or days... I'm praying it won't take long. It's Drew's and Juliet's b-day tomorrow and we were hoping she wouldn't have to deliver on that day. I am also praying that they will have peace in their decisions to find out the baby's sex... to decided whether or not to see it or hold it.... comfort from the Lord when they give it away... I wish I could be there to hug her... I know it's not my place, but it's how I feel. I just want to cry with her...

A Wonderful Sound

Why does it always have to end in crying?

Happy Easter 2010!

On this gorgeous Easter day we went to church to celebrate Jesus' Resurrection, gave the girls Easter baskets to celebrate, and then went to Grandpa & Grandma H's house for lunch.










The girls line up with their cousins Lauren & Lilly... ready to hunt for eggs!





The bounty was plentiful! And the girls were delighted!

Grandpa H wanted to get in on the fun :)



Evie's gummy bug glowed in the tweezers!




The candy is gone already???!!!
