Any of you who have multiple children know how difficult it is to get a picture where everyone is smiling and looking at the camera at the same time! Here is our best attempt at a four child easter picture! Jayden wanted to know why everyone was in black and white since easter was supposed to be bright colors. My attempt at telling her that black and white was "in" failed. Despite the black and white easter dresses... they had a good time. Jayden helped the easter bunny hide eggs and Coleman and Chloe enjoyed finding them. (We are still missing one green camoflauged egg of Colemans. He is still looking.) Annabelle had a great nap during the easter egg hunt.

Life is back to the hustle and bustle. I went back to work the first of April. I enjoyed my time off but missed my class while I was gone. It was fun to be back in the classroom with them. (Ask me in a few weeks if I feel the same way!!!) Annabelle has come to school with me and has been a trooper!! The first day was a little bit of an adjustment but the other days have been great!! (Once again ask me in a few weeks if I feel the same way!!!)

Really and truely, our lives are blessed. I know that our Heavenly Father has sent Annabelle to us for a special reason at this time. I am greatful that he gives us what we need, even when we don't know what that is. When I found out I was pregnant, we were not trying to have a baby and I was angry. I didn't know I wanted more children and this was just messing up my plan! But I grew more comfortable with the idea and once I laid eyes on her, I knew she was special. I didn't realize just how special until mom was diagnosed with cancer. I truely believe that Heavenly Father sent her to us to help us through this difficult time. She is such a happy baby filled with the spirit. She helps us see how close we are to heaven and how much each person there is rallying for us. I feel my grandma so close around her and I am grateful that we have been blessed to have her in our lives.
