Easter was truly special this year. One of the things that made it so was Matthew's first grade class enacting the Living Stations of the Cross. Yes, there's our boy in his Jesus costume. Matthew did a superb job of leading the procession into the gym and portraying the role of Jesus. We've been on Matthew's case a lot lately, trying to get him to help out around the house, put more effort into his school work, etc., etc. He really stepped up on Holy Thursday, though. I don't think I've ever been so proud of him. 
Nothing like a beautiful warm, sunny Easter Sunday. We had a great weekend!
Thomas and our friend, Gregory, taking a juice-box break during a recent play date. A far cry from the stuff they had to play on back in Ukraine. 
Thomas had his first T-ball practice tonight. It was hard to resist just taking off and playing tag on the field. That all changed, though, once he had the feel of the bat in his hand and stepped up to the T.On a sadder note, we send our thoughts and prayers to Chris' Aunt Sylvia, who passed away last week. May she rest in peace.
