Easter and the beach

We have had a lot going on in the last week! Last Friday was a beautiful morning, so the three of us decided to go to the beach and take some fun photos. Brody really enjoyed the sand and walking around, but he probably enjoyed the dogs on the beach the most.

He wasn't as big of a fan of the waves, however. I am guessing that is because the water here is still FREEZING! Hopefully, by the time we go on our family beach trips he will have warmed up to the whole swimming in the ocean idea. I'm sure he'll at least love cousin time on the sand.
Here's our family photo!
Brody was checking out some kites flying in the distance in this picture.
So, what you have all been waiting for..... EASTER OUTFITS! :) Brody totally stole the show when we got to church. John and I quickly became chump change to everyone we saw... and can you blame them? Look at that sweet hat!
Brody played it cool with some sunglasses to boot. He of course removed them upon promptly entering the Sanctuary. He's so funny.
John and Brody matched perfectly. Their suits were the exact same seer-sucker and they both had pink ties on. I wish we could post some fun family picture of all of us, but sadly all three of those photos turned out blurry. We'll have to get all dressed up and try it again.
Here is the man trying to ride his very own tractor... he sometimes gets frustraited that it won't seem to pull him the way he wants... I don't know why.
This year I have been blessed with some awesome friends who have gotten together once a week for Bible study. We studied the book, "The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment" by Jeremiah Burroughs. It was pretty humbling to say the least. But, sadly we finished it and here is a picture from our end of the Bible study party. Sarah had already left-we'll have to photo-shop her in later. :)

So, that's what's been going on! We officially have three weeks left until Graduation Weekend begins! It is really hard to believe, but it is true. I am about to step up the packing into high gear. Please pray for us to finish the semester strong and to be able to tie up any loose ends here. Please pray for a smooth transition for all of us and that we have some wonderful farewell fellowship with those we've come to know and love here. God has been so good to us.
"Oh magnify the Lord with me. Let us exult His name together!" Psalm 34:3

It's ok - I would have messed up the color scheme! :)

AH-DOR-ABLE!!! I could just eat up that Brodster in his cute Easter clothes. We seriously need to take a "matching" seer-sucker pic of all the cousins when you get home (before Henry's outfit gets too small).

He stole the blog, too. Great pictures! I like the lounging one in particular.
