Spring is in the air?

How I wish that this were true! I think that winter is still holding on pretty tight right now and I am ready for that spring thaw to appear. But even though we are not experiencing a heat wave I have been enjoying each day so much. I truly feel that God is blessing our family so much and that his hand is evident during this busy season of life.
Each day brings new adventures and challenges but I have to say that the joy far outweighs the struggle. Just today we went to TC with the kids. We went to the mall and Scott went to check out their Habitat Re-Store. It was so much fun to just be out as a family, after lunch in the food court we took the kids on the carousal. Mateo was a bit nervous but Ellie got this look of pure joy on her face and when we got off she clapped her hands and said weee! I just stopped and soaked in the pure joy and pleasure of that moment. I love living life and seeing it through the eyes of my children. They have made me stop and take notice of the little things and treasure even more the moments that pass us by so quickly.
Easter Sunday is tomorrow and we get to again experience this holiday for the first time with our children. I am so thankful for the Lord, that he sent his son so that today I can stand blameless before him. It is a new day and his mercies are new every morning. Praise the Lord and Happy Easter!
