Easter Weekend!

Easter time is such a wonderful time to be with family and to reflect upon our Savior and his most precious gift. I love spring time and the newness of life that appears. It is quite the rejuvenation and that is exactly what we receive through the atonement- a newness of life. This last weekend we were able to get together with Chase's siblings. It was so much fun to see them all again. It is always so fun!
Here is a funny picture with Chase and Brady (wait where is Brady? He is hiding, can you guess where?)
Here is me and W. I love his expression!
The hunt is on! Go S. and M.!
The goodies are found! Aren't our nieces and nephews so fun and cute? We sure think so!
The boys and the babies...Chase feeling a little left out!
I thought this was a cute picture with Janelle and the babies! So fun and cute!
While we were there we had dinner, visited and played games- a favorite past time!
Happy (Late) Easter Everyone!

I realize its been awhile since I have posted- I wish it was because we have been off and away having tremendous adventures but really there hasn't been anything to note as of lately! Life is good =) We have been experiencing some changes but those are good. They help us to grow and Chase is plugging away at the semester. He is keeping pretty busy with research, classes and conferences. Which brings me to a pretty exciting upcoming adventure we will be having! Chase is going to be presenting a poster at a conference in Germany! So of course I will be going with him! While we are there we thought we would explore some other places in Europe. So now our itinerary includes Venice, Italy and Paris, France. We are super excited =) If you know of any places we should definitely see while we are there let me know!

Just the Same


Sometimes—
God sends rain
Straight from the sky
To nourish the young flower
and it grows.
Sometimes—
God sends rain from the sky
To the mountaintops,
Then over hills and through valleys
Until it reaches the flower
and it grows, just the same.
Sometimes—
God sends a child
Straight from His realm
Into a mother’s arms
and love grows.
Sometimes—
God sends a child
From heaven to another’s arms,
Then over hills and through valleys
Until he reaches the arms of his mother
and love grows, just the same.
