Spring and Easter



















We have been super busy lately. I think I previously posted that we had bought two fish for the kids. They had chosen saltwater fish, one looked just like Nemo, and the other was a purple and yellow gamma fish that Olivia named Jewels. Well, Jewels died yesterday because the people at the pet store sold us a tank that was too small for 2 saltwater fish and told us our water only had to acclamate 48 hours instead of 4-6weeks, urrrghh! How do you explain that to an emotional 5 year old little girl? Very delicately. We went today to return everything. They were very nice and gave us all our money back even though they don't guarantee saltwater fish, but it was their mess up. The kids wanted more saltwater fish, mommy did not. Thankfully Olivia walked by a very pretty white beta fish that she thinks looks like a fairy princess fish. So, we now have 2 beta fish in 2 separate cute little tanks. And I am so thankful. Everything was 1/4 the cost and much simpler to care for.
The kids had so much fun at Easter, I think the pictures tell the story. Mom, Dad, Jeff, and Linda were all here and got to watch the kids hide eggs. They had a blast.
We still have not heard any news about court decrees. Please pray for us as we wait and that we will receive court decrees soon. We hope and pray it is very soon because the money well is running dry. Tickets are out the roof right now at $1300-1500 per ticket. And the longer Leia is there the less we have for travel. But we know God will provide, as he always does.
