Two of the boys... George at 9 weeks and Jude at 3 1/2 weeks... Nancy, just arrived from Kansas City to be Godmother to Jude, and Bobbi holding sleeping George. Only missing Hector, who is between the two at 6 weeks.
Here is Hector from Washington yesterday with big sister, Therese!
Grandpa with his arms full as we gathered at the farm for Mary's 13th birthday.
The two moms with their thriving little boys... holding each other's baby.
Big sister kiss!
Where did that baby kitty come from?
Joy is the youngest so babies are new and interesting to her... there are 3 new ones for you to meet, Joy!
My Easter tree is glorious with leaves and butterflies and crosses aglow!
Nancy's two girls giving grandma what she loves so much... a special picture with my Easter tree than they swam in the hot tub before bed with Rose Again!
Peaceful beautiful George sleeping next to grandma in our bed for the first time! This is a ritual with grandpa Pat!
Holy Saturday at Maria's home today - the guards and the women guarding the tomb! We are missing their 6 today, but the 12 made for anything but a silent morning here. A lot of the day should be spent in silence as we await and Jesus lies in the tomb... it was a good thought anyways!
Hector serious and silent outside the tomb. "Jesus, I love you and want to follow you since my Baptism on St Patrick's Day. I am praying for my newest cousin, Jude, today on his baptism during the Easter Vigil. Coming into The Church is the best!"
Dying Easter eggs out in the breezy warm day on the farm!
Only one broken in the process.
Expert egg dying Josephine!
Rainbow eggs and the dyers!
The two little girls with moms and dad... yes, that is Ruth's garden or swimming pool. It is amazing to think that a week ago there was a foot and a half of snow everywhere! Today 75 degrees and the grass is trying to turn green.
Bare feet all around - it is easier to clean feet than shoes or boots say the mothers. Joy had quite a few eggs for only 2 years old.
The easy ones for the little girls...
Posing on the climbing tree...
Happy hunters... all but George and Jude. Grandma is heading in to help with the preparation for the big party tomorrow morning to celebrate Jude's Baptism at the Vigil tonight. So fun to have the weather cooperate for us. Missing our Washington family and Hallel and The Community of the Lamb! Happy Easter all! Hopefully your day is more peaceful and some silence awaiting the coming of the LIGHT into the World! There is so much LIFE here that even the rocks would cry out!
I LOVE it though!
Jesus, we adore you and are overflowing with so much gratitude for our lives as we share our Faith with JOY in our domestic Church/family. Jesus, we trust in you. Bless-bless, Barb
The 3 girls before their sleep over last night! The LIGHT comes into the world and the Cross becomes the Tree of LIFE!
Kids, kittens and sunshine this morning!
David, Gus and George sharing a moment.
The two year old girls with kittens sharing snuggles...
The belly is good for kittens,,,
Holy Saturday is sacred as the day of the Lord's rest; it has been called
the "Second Sabbath" after creation. The day is and should be the most calm
and quiet day of the entire Church year, a day broken by no liturgical function
and is chiefly a day of solemn vigil for the Lord’s resurrection.
