We drove out to Cunningham Falls State Park and enjoyed an afternoon hike to the falls. The boys loved climbing the big rocks along the Cliff Falls Trail. Afterward, Grandma and Pap met us for a little fishing around the lake.

See those 3 pecks over on the far shore? It's a few of the boys fishing. They may not have caught anything but we didn't mind spending the afternoon here enjoying this pretty view.

Easter Hike at Dusk...
We decided to take a hike around the reservoir near dusk on Easter evening. The boys were excited to use their head lamps and back packs. Micaiah and Eli spent a good amount of time trying to build a fishing pole to fish.
Easter Strings...
Many years ago, we began a tradition of tying a certain colored string to each of the boys doorknobs that they have to follow to their Basket on Easter Morning. They still enjoy this process and as they've gotten older it's been really fun for us to try to get around the house before we go to bed!
We pained the boys by taking a few pictures with each of us Easter morning. The one of the boys with Wes is CLASSIC.
Eli had the idea to take this picture. Over the years I've learned that they will stay more engaged with you taking photos if you let them give you some ideas every once in a while.
Late afternoon we had an egg hunt in the yard. This year was interesting because the boys actually helped us fill the eggs before Wes hid them.

085|366 {Passion}...
I caught the sunrise out of the attic window when I went to get the boys up yesterday morning. I was immediately struck by the choice I had to make as to where I would place my focus. Would I choose to ignore the dirty window or illuminate it with the beauty of the morning sun? We face this decision so often during our days...it reminds me of this quote by @annvoskamp "The practice of giving thanks...eucharisteo...this is the way we practice the presence of God, stay present to His presence, and it is always a practice of the eyes. We don't have to change what we see. Only the way we see."

Yeah you could say #bellathecreamgolden has a lot of energy. She will be 2 in June but she still plays like a pup. Happy National Puppy Day!

The boys racing to the mailbox to mail a response back to Poppy. My dad has written poems to the boys pretty consistently through the years. Most often after he's visited...the boys will receive a letter from him about their time together. Such a sweet memory...

This little one hasn't been feeling well. I hate to see him sick but am thankful to be able to love on him a little more. Oh, and those eyes...
