Egg? What egg?

Levi participated in his very first Easter egg hunt this weekend. Two hunts actually, one at church and one at home with family. And quite frankly, Levi could care less about Easter eggs! At both hunts, he picked up one egg and then was pretty much done.

I had to laugh at the video of all six of us (Adam, me, and both sets of grandparents) hovering over this little toddler begging him to pick up a plastic egg full of candy. Levi, however, could not be bothered with such childishness. Oh well, there's always next year!

Looking to the Son

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2

This is Easter week...a busy time for families in ministry since Sunday will, no doubt, be the most attended worship service of the year. So much to prepare! And for Adam and me, this is our first Easter as parents. Levi will be looking to us to see what this whole Easter holiday is about. No pressure, right?

So...even amidst all the hustle and bustle of Easter preparations, egg hunts, and family gatherings, I am determined to stay focused on Jesus. My most fervent prayer lately is that my son will come to know The Son in a personal way. May Levi experience the saving grace and inexplicable peace that only the Son of God can provide. I captured these photos at church last week, and I thought they perfectly illustrated my feelings. Levi, I pray you always keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.

Can you hear me now?

Levi LOVES the telephone! I have the hardest time making a phone call because he insists on either pushing the buttons or joining in on the conversation.

But, if he can't get his hands on our home phone, my cell phone, or one of his six play phones, his imagination kicks in! Any object can become a phone for Levi...the remote control, a basketball, and even a hair gel bottle. He holds them to his ear (or really his jaw!) and carries on a complete conversation. People ask me all the time, "What is he saying?" and I tell them their guess is as good as mine, but it sounds important. :)

Levi, can you hear me now?!!
