Easter weekend

We had such a BLESSED Easter weekend.   On Saturday we celebrated with a spring family day at our church and dyed Easter eggs with Auntie that evening.  Warning LOTS of pictures!!

 Briley's Easter basket!!

  I LOVE these pictures of our family Easter morning.  My Mom found Briley's dress first so we went with the pink theme.  I can't wait to be holding Delaney next year in these pictures!!

 24 weeks with Miss Delaney Hope...I'm 26 now!!!  :)

After a beautiful church service and persuading my husband to help me watch 2 year olds because I was short on volunteers ;) We headed to the cemetery to see Nonnie and Hadley.

 She did not want her picture taken but even her sassy little face turned out so pretty!!

We then headed to Daniel's Nanny's for a yummy lunch and Easter egg hunt for the kiddos...

 READY....

SET...

 GO!!!!!!!!!

She did VERY well!!   After Nanny's we stopped by my Mom and Dad's to visit and my Mom had another Easter egg hunt ready for Briley of course. 

  I have to end with a comparison of Easter today and years passed.  I'm so thankful for our growing girl and growing family.  I miss Hadley so much but I'm so humbled to know she is with our RISEN KING!!  

Easter 2010-2013

Picture Post

  Apparently I can't find the time to blog lately :(  But I want to make sure and at least get some pictures up!!     Life is wonderful, busy, and blessed...   Thanking God everyday for this pregnancy and how much He is covering me with His love.

19 weeks  

Meet Delaney Hope :)   Delaney is after Hadley and Tammie's middle name, D'Layne and Hope is because she is the hope and healing God is giving our family this year!! We celebrated my sweet Hadley's 2nd birthday.  I will have another post on that soon but here are a few of my favorite pics from her balloon release.

The day before Hadley's birthday we took Briley to Great Wolf Lodge to have some family time...she had a BLAST!!!

  Briley got to see the musical from her favorite book...PINKALICIOUS!!!

  We celebrated my amazing husband's 30th birthday with family and friends

This week we started our Easter festivities with an Egg Hunt at Briley's preschool...

This weekend we have an Easter Family Day on Saturday at church and then of course church on Sunday and visiting with family to celebrate that HE LIVES!!

 

I will be 24 weeks on Saturday which is considered "viability".  God's timing with this pregnancy is beautiful and perfect...so thankful for new beginnings this Easter season.

Love,

Melissa

More importantly...

"Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.  For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.  The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.  In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus."~Romans 6:8-11
