Easter and such

The last few weeks have been really busy around our house. Bronner is now eating apples and cereal, rolling over, laughing more, and growing like a weed! I can't believe how fast it is going. On Monday April 6th I delivered little Brewer and Katie did awesome. She went natural and really did amazing. It has so inspired my desire to do it again and go natural next time. I do have to admit I am a little disappointed that I got my epidural last time. Next time, when God decides that will be, it will be a different story. Jeremy is already prepared so don't try to scare him!! On Thursday Caitlin and I took B to the botanical gardens and got some great pics. Check out my facebook for them. There were way to many to pick to post on here! We had so much fun but would definitely wear different shoes next time! I didn't realize how big that place was. It was a gorgeous day to be outside and we all enjoyed it. We ate some Davenports afterward which I haven't had since the good ole SU days and I forgot how good it was! On Thurs night little Brewer was readmitted to the hospital for reflux but is now home and doing well! Hopefully he will continue to feel better. Saturday we travelled to MS to see family and for Kyndals wedding. It was all fun! We did some egg hunting, visiting, birthday celebrating for little Carter .. who by the way is now 5 (can you believe it!), and lots of kid chasing! The kiddos had so much fun together. Little B didn't sleep so well though. We were up a lot during the night and are super tired and counting down till bed time!


Easter is an important day to us and we hope to teach Bronner the true meaning of easter. Not the bunnies and eggs version but the Jesus died on the cross on Friday for all of our sins and rose from the grave on Sunday. We pray daily that we will be good parents and raise our children to be Godly men and women. Jeremy and I have discussed the fact that it is common not to "do" the easter bunny/santa and know that these aren't the real reasons for the holidays. We also love imagination and remember our own childhood and recall these memories alot. We haven't fully decided what we are going to do about those issues but are pretty sure that we will participate in the imagination part but stress the true meaning of the holiday. Any ideas? What do yall do?

Anyways hope yall are having a wonderful easter weekend and hope you know the real reason we celebrate today!
