WE. ARE. FAMILY. . .(sing with me!)

So, my family had a reunion. . .probably not your typical family reunion. . .because, . . .um. . .ours had a "Light Saber Themed Dinner Dance." Yes, you read correctly. . .costumes and all. (And would you believe someone came in my costume? What are the chances?) Please don't judge, and I know you are totally thinking, "my family doesn't do cool stuff like that!" So let's let the pictures do the talking, shall we?

Wii are NOT so fit!

Well, we are officially the owners of the Wii Fit gaming system. We pre ordered the sucker and everything. Today, it tells me something I all ready knew. . .I am NOT fit. . .I guess with the help of this machine I will get there one day. . .assuming that I actually do it everyday. . .if you know me at all, I am not a creature of habit. . .According to Wii fit's scales, my Wii age is 38 (not as bad as Adam's. . .42(!!).

This game is pretty cool. I tell ya right now, I am NOT good at hula hooping. . .I do crack up laughing at myself as I am doing it though. . .and ya know who looks funnier than me? You guessed it! My hubby :)

Stay tuned. . .I wii-ll keep you posted.

Wii-ster Blessings

Church was phenomenal yesterday. I love church every Sunday, but there is just a different energy on Easter Sunday. There is nothing like celebrating a Risen Savior. It is just so moving giving God all the praise he deserves. I love that our church is full of energy and life, not just mundane and ritualistic. God wants us to want to be at church. . .we shouldn't have to be forced to go out of guilt. I am thankful for Celebration Church. . .a God-first church for sure!


After church, we had close friends over for lunch, an egg hunt for the boys, and an afternoon of Wii sports and Guitar Hero while the boys napped. It was Wii-lly fun! Nothing says "He is Risen" like an afternoon of gaming.















Just for good measure, here is a pic of my centerpiece for the table. It was fun to hang eggs from my light fixture. :)











On another note, Bryson is again battling a double ear infection and asthma. He is being loaded up with medication. Pray for quick healing. . .Adam and I can't take a sick baby too much longer. He is enough of a handful when he is 100% well!

By the way. . .

We are HOME! We have been for one week. Bryson was such a joy on the airplane ride home. God is so faithful in answering prayer. My parents met us at the airport. It was so nice spending time with them and I know they enjoyed seeing just how BIG Bryson has been getting.

I got to go to my church and I enjoyed it soooo much. Adam arrived on Sunday afternoon. It was nice to have us all home again. It was just so normal. . .all of us here in Jacksonville like we never left. Our time in PA just flew by and now it just seems like it was an extended vacation or something. . . for me at least. Adam was the one who had to work. . .

Our box of stuff arrived on Tuesday, or was it Wednesday?? It has been a good opportunity to clean up and clean out our house. I haven't allowed anything in that I didn't need or want. We have made 2 Goodwill trips. That feels wonderful!

Since getting home, we have acquired a Wii along with Guitar Hero. Thanks to Zach and Missy,our new friends from the north, this is something Adam just had to have and it is so much fun and just slightly addicting. . . I have improved so much since my first time playing. In the background I hear Adam playing the shooting game on the Wii and he is saying "Oh MAN! I am the master of this game!" HA!
