1.  Sydney and Reed had to get glasses.  Interestingly, they have the same prescription, but Sydney has an astigmatism so they are not interchangeable.  They both look adorable!

2.  Spenser opted for contacts this time around, and so far he is doing great with them.

3.  Here is Macy in her Heidi costume:


4.  Wednesday night we had a Passover Seder at our church-- not the full-blown 4 hour version, but a shorter version.  It was fascinating.  It was presented by Jews for Jesus, so it they explained all of the Messianic prophecies within the meal.

5.  We debated whether or not to try to incorporate the Wednesday night children's program into the Seder.  We weren't sure how well unchurched kids could follow the program, and we weren't sure how their behavior would be.  We opted to include them and pair them up with adults (divide and conquer.)  It went really well.  I am not sure how much they learned, but they won't soon forget the horseradish LOL.

6.  If you aren't fluent in subtext. let me illuminate the last paragraph for you:

• We debated= Jason and I had a HUGE fight over this issue
• We weren't sure= Jason and I had a HUGE fight over this issue
• unchurched kids= 20-25 kids from the neighborhood who don't know much about the Bible much less the Passover
• their behavior= would they completely disrupt the entire program and embarass us in front of our guests?
• pair them with adults= beg people to let a couple of rowdy kids sit with them
• it went really well= it went really well minus a few passing gas incidents and a horrible sacrilegious comment during communion
• they won't soon forget the horseradish= I thought the ones with me were going to hurl

7.  My baby turns 6 next week.  That's not really a baby anymore, but she has promised to be my baby forever.  I cry when I see the little clothes that all 3 of my girls have worn.  We are trying to sort and donate and somehow tame the clothes monster that has overtaken our house, but sometimes it grieves me to see little outfits going away.

Wow, my reading between the lines was not so harsh as the truth! Sorry about that, but glad it wasn't worse!

BTW, who is that young MAN? Wow! I guess I hadn't seen a pic of Spenser for a bit. He looks like he is really growing up fast. I called a friend the other day and when her newly turned 14yo son answered the phone I didn't know what man was answering the phone!

Unless God gives me a miracle I guess I won't get to experience being the mom of a boy turning into a man! You must be amazed at times!

Mary just turned six on the 10th and it makes me want to cry! Then I go hug Lydia harder and remind myself to enjoy her young years, but I know it will feel like it all went by in a blur with her too! What a blessing that God strengthens us in all trials!

Glad to have my computer back so I could catch up with you! In Him, Eva
