Easter 2011


Wow, wow, wow. 
Please forgive their mother's crazed screams, she was understandably so proud.
Qwest Field, transformed for Easter. Justin Forsett, Seahawks running back,
even raised the Jesus flag in place of the 12th man flag that is customary before kickoff. 
Parker offered Aunt Lindsay his coat to dry her seat. What a gentleman he is becoming!

Kaleb hung out under the giant umbrella with Grandpa Ken & Grammy Annie.
He was so at home in this new city because they were there.

Aden jumped up out of the water after baptism, just like he shot out on his birthday.
He is so pensive,  he has usually thought things out & is ready to go when the time comes.


My man is so strong for our family.
I am so thankful for the prayers Ellen said for his mate over 20 years ago,
so glad it was me she was praying for!

The rain fell down & we were all baptized, in a sense. 
Flooded with joy, at the work of our Savior. Hot tears streamed down our faces & our hearts almost burst. I have not felt this since Parker's slippery 8 lb. 14oz. newborn body was handed to me. Matt & I, foolish 18 year olds. All our families rallying for us. A new adventure. And it is a good one, an exhausting, thrilling, beautiful tale we have found ourselves in.

  6. I loved the context in which you mentioned both sets of parents. It must have made them very proud as well. Nice post and wishing you the very best Seattle has to offer. Mary
