Easter Sunday was a beautiful day here in Cottonwood. The sky was clear blue and the weather was perfect! The kids were excited about thinking of Jesus and His resurrection. At church, Tirzah played a piano piece called "Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee" on the piano. The highlite of our morning was when Lily, a ten year old girl who has been coming to our church with her grandma for about five years, was baptized! Then, Lily's dad had a surprise for her and he also was baptized! It was really special.

Sitting in front of our portable baptistm, the kids were all smiles.
Everyone was asking me if I sewed the girl's clothes, so let me say that I although I have been sewing lately, I did not sew the dresses. We bought the girls' dresses at Wal-Mart, and all I had to do was hem Selah's dress. (I also hemmed Hardy's dress pants--a first for me.) It was sweet to see the girls in their matching dresses and Hardy looking dapper in his new church suit.
Selah is our little sweetie.
She loves to say in sign language "all done" after she eats a meal and then claps right afterwards. Of course, we're clapping along with her, and she has discovered she loves the attention from clapping! And this past weekend she started blowing kisses, which is so fun.
We had a wonderful Easter Sunday, and now today we are celebrating Tim's birthday! Don't we all have so much to be thankful for?
