Fun with My Neighbors

I have prayed and prayed for neighbors that come out and play. It seems with each day that we have nicer weather more and more kids are coming out of their houses. Praise God! Noah has always played with the 3 kids next year that are 6, 9 & 12. Noah thinks Mason (the 9 year old) is the greatest "thing" and FayF who is 6 (Faith) is not too bad herself. Noah gets right in playing with them, tackle football, soccer, baseball, see-sawing and jumping on the trampoline (which makes me the most nervous).

We have a blast at our little neighborhood playground where no matter how much you talk up the slide, swings, sand toys and other kids, Noah is most interested in of course doing the ONE thing we direct him not to do... Throw Sand.. Aside from it being rude and how it hurts when it gets in someones eyes etc. It is somewhat selfish on my part. Try getting sand out of Noah's hair! Not at all an easy task.

Resurrection of... "the egg"

Some of the things that Noah says are just hysterical. Today we had at blast at Ryan and Baby Grace's house, dyeing Easter Eggs, eating cupcakes and playing! Noah is right in the middle where he is too rough with the babies and tries oh so hard to keep up with his older friends. Tonight after saying prayers we reminded Noah about tomorrow's Easter egg hunt and then talked about Easter. We asked "Noah" We celebrate the Resurrection of? and he said "the egg". We laughed and quickly reminded him of this month's memory verse "He is not here, He has risen, just as He said" Matthew 28:7 . That although decorating eggs and egg hunts are fun we are celebrating the resurrection of JESUS! But still, how funny.
