Happy Easter!

Finally around 9:00 this morning, Heath and I had to go around and wake the kids up to see

 if the Easter Bunny had come.. and sure enough he had delivered!

  Kade snuck down stairs pulled out celery, left it on the floor and then slept in the cupboard
 under the TV trying to catch the Easter Bunny in the act.

But the Bunny was so Good and delivered while Kade slept.

 One of Heath's agents at work is a Reverend on the South side of downtown Chicago. He has invited us to his church so today we took him up on his offer. It was such an amazing day! We walked in and the minute we entered you could just feel the LOVE. It was full of Great Music, Dancing, and Hallelujahs! At the beginning of the sermon they asked for all the guests to stand up. All 7 of us stood up and the entire congregation stood up as the music played and they came and greeted us with hugs, kisses and God Bless You's! That is the perfect way to make the guests feel "Welcome"

A week or so ago when Heath and I decided we were going to Reverend Al's Church I dreamed they called Heath out of the crowd to talk.... And SURE ENOUGH today they called Heath out of the crowd to talk. It was so FUN! Heath brought a lil' of his Black "Mojo" to his Sermon. He started off with saying, "Brothers and Sisters, It's been a long time since I have felt the spirit like I have felt it here today, and He brought the crowd to their feet with Amens and Hallelujahs!  He then told a short version about his 2 younger brothers that were killed by a drunk driver and how he knows that some day he will be able to live with them again because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ which we are Celebrating this Easter day. We all got Tender, It was a day I will Never Forget! We all Loved church.. for many reasons. Millie loved it cause she and a cute lil girl next to her danced to all the Fun, Loud Music. Kade liked it cause Heath gave all the kids Money to drop in the basket for a offering. When we climbed into the car to leave Maizie said, "Dad, can we come back to this church next week?" What Awesome Experience!

 After church we went to another one of our Friends and Heath's Agents house for dinner.

The kids had a Easter egg hunt, a jumpy toy, rode scooters, the food was Divine and we felt so loved to be invited to join them and their family!

Then tonight came home it was late, 1/2 of us changed out of our church clothes before I realised we didn't get a family Pic so we all huddled up on my bedroom floor set the camera timer and here we are.

I was feeling a lil homesick this morning... wanting to be with our family..

 having the kids be with Grandparents and cousins...

But when it is all said and done.. (I still missed being with family) 

But: I wouldn't have changed a thing about today!

It was Amazing! We are Blessed!

 Hallelujah!!

Happy Easter!
