Easter and the Grandest Photos of Grandkids....

These are NOT grandchildren...ha ha ---just a warm & fuzzy photo for Easter... of Love, warmth, tenderness and understanding...reflecting that God is Love...our savior and creator of all good and perfect gifts. Salvation! Easter every day & forever!EASTER is my FAVORITE time of the whole year! And what can be neater than KIDS....flowers, baby animals, EASTER egg painting AND praising Jesus for the GRACE & gift of Calvary....our salvation. Normally....I would say..."Nothing can be greater than this...but this year I found that God just gets better.... and He ADDS even more blessings than the above ...when your GRANDCHILD....accepts Christ as her Savior and is BAPTIZED at Easter. Whoa and Wow! NOW....THAT'S truly the 'frosting of your Easter Bunny CAKE...of LIFE AND ETERNITY!!!!
The following are our GRANDKIDS Easter pictures and treasures. We are proud of these kids!



Wow.... TEXAS BLUEBONNETS....Easter Time in Texas....AND
our precious little Chinese Granddaughter Zoe Noel. She is just as cute as her pictures. Like all of her cousins....they all LOVE to POSE for their Mommy's camera.....(er er...wellll... most of the time...ha ha) aaand...Kids R just kids sometimes. haha


Girls love cameras! Our are no different!
Hooray...for our FIRST grandchild...Kori Faith...who is very creative and LOVES painting...especially EASTER EGGS!!!
Her smile matches her personality! She and Zoe (cousins) both love doing all kinds of art, and cooking in the kitchen....their way. ha ha Very entertaining young ladies!
Kori has two zesty 'little brothers'.
Our FIRST GRANDSON, Josh (ua) Dayne---handsome, who is very serious and loving personality. Then, last but not least--- our youngest grandchild, Matthew, is the little man of laughter, pranks and giggles....below. His parents enjoy watching him take naps. ha ha

What can be cuter than a kids perfect smile.....Oriental fries/style..ha ha ..and tons of Bluebonnets? Just a cute shot that needed to be posted.
The 'frosting on the cake' for this Easter...is below--Zoe's baptism.... (our daughter took this shot from the side of the church baptistry...tops for anyone that knows Christ as Lord and Savior.

THIS is the only thing more beautiful than kids being kids & bluebonnets---a Daddy getting the proud honor of BAPTISING his own beautiful little adopted daughter in his pastoral church---after she has told them simply one Saturday night..."Mommy, Daddy, I need to talk----I want to be 'baba..tised cause I want to take Jesus into my harrt"
(how sweet is that?)
Yes, she took classes to learn more about 'Her choice" of believing and following Jesus .Christ...which I think is so wonderful (not totally necessary....but so helpful for her facing the world and life). I have always loved this educational idea and concept.
And---what about this darling.... cute and most charming Zoe smile during baptism?
....it was very perfect for a child...whose FEET kept floating to the top in the water.... (ha ha)
and a Daddy who had a microphone attached to white robe....and is whispering to his precious beloved..... "Zoe, put your feet down...Zoe, put your feet down"...all his whispering....going OUT on the LOUD Speaker to the whole congregation ....who is by now dying laughing/snickering with humor and understanding.

So cute! poor Daddy (but he loved it and ended up ...more or less... 'having to just DUNK her little BOUNCING body beneath the baptismal waters. ha ha Beautiful event...treasured memories and 'FOREVER saved'---suffer not the little children!
Our other grandchildren also attend church regularly and as they reach this stage... there will always be Joy, celebration and treasured blessings to see each follow... as God leads in each of their lives.
(I must say tho----that Zoe's baptism was much better than my own memories of being baptised in the Brazos River...with huge long SNAKES swimming around us kids and the pastor...and teenagers throwing rocks to chase the snakes across the river to the watermelon patch. The snakes made this little prairie dog almost forget totally what baptism was all about at that moment!) Thank God for indoor baptistries!!!


I hope you enjoyed the above. We treasure it. May God continue to bless your life.
