Joy: a source or cause of delight

When asked in our couples' bible study last week "what brings you Joy on a daily basis?", Phil and I immediately responded with, "our children!" This could not be more true for us lately. We've just had so much FUN with Kelsey and Carter. Because of them, our hearts are full and rich with happiness! Here are some pics and a video of what brings that Joy.


I suggested that Daddy and Carter build a fort while Kelsey and I took a walk yesterday. We came back just 30 minutes later and found this massive "Pirate Ship" in my bedroom. (I wish I had taken a picture of the handiwork that went on underneath those sheets - while taking this down I discovered 2 crutches and a swiffer tied together by rubberbands. Never underestimate a father building a fort for his son!)

Kelsey has a new favorite fruit - strawberries!


We had a little petting zoo at our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt.



ENJOY this video as much as Phill and I did. I asked Carter to sing his favorite song from choir. And this is what we got:

In case you didn't know, Father Abraham now has many "skunks"!!
