Easter weekend pics!

Easter weekend was somewhat low-key for us this year. Saturday was a fairly busy day. We had the usual Saturday chores in the morning and then we attended my cousin's wedding at a sweet little bed and breakfast in the north Georgia mountains that evening. It was a beautful wedding and reception and you couldn't have asked for better weather. On Sunday we stayed home and spent our Easter together as a family, outdoors, enjoying God's beauty and splendor. And Michael got to enjoy his very first Easter basket - that easter bunny rocks!


This was Michael's response to one of the gifts in his easter basket - a talking H@ndy M@nny toolbox. You can see below how much he loved it!


the other pictures are just a few from our time outside on Sunday. Michael absolultely LOVES flowers! He's been this way the entire time he's been with us. He always wants to get his hands on them - doesn't matter if they are in a vase on a table or planted in a pot - he always wants them. He loves picking the little ones that are growing in our yard. Maybe they are just flowering weeds, I don't know. Matt and I are convinced he had exposure to flowers from his life before us in China. The city he is from is famous for the many different types of flowers that grow there and they have a huge flower market as well. He has to have seen folks harvesting flowers before.... he's so delicate in his approach to them. Taking his little thumb and index finger and carefully plucking it from the ground usually taking a second to stop and smell it before handing it over to one of us. I think there's a lesson there, what do you think?
