Easter 2011

Jesus is risen! He is risen indeed! Der Herr ist auferstanden! Er ist warhaftig auferstanden! Halleluja, halleluja!
Hanna and I worked together to design special celebration outfits for Easter--celebrating Jesus' resurrection with bright yellow and green and daisies. She sewed away for weeks, and they all turned out so beautifully. I hobbled outside on crutches to snap some photos between rain showers.

Our kitty cat Mietzi joined the photo shoot. Trey often plays in the backyard and chats with Mietzi as he's playing.





All around our garden, everything is blooming. I am amazed at how God brings all sorts of colors in so many varieties of flowers and leaves to display His glorious spring.

The children started singing praise songs. "Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest. Lord we lift up Your name, with hearts full of praise, be exalted oh Lord Most High, hosanna in the highest."




I got some close-ups of the girls. Lily's teeth are starting to grow back in!




Magdeline is such a sweetie with a tender heart. She has curls now on her forehead (I supposed they are the result of the hormones starting to brew)!




Johanna is a hard worker and worked for weeks on all the dresses. She tries to think of everything and has had to pick up a lot of slack while I am down. What a blessing she is.



Trey and Lily brought me flowers from the field by our chapel. I am amazed by the variety of wildflowers God has made.



I am so thankful for these 4 delightful creations of the Creator. Thank you God. And thank you for eternal hope, sure and secure because of Jesus' death and RESURRECTION from the dead.

These little ones were spotted running around in the sunshine before our church service.
