From Grief to Glory

Samuel and I were asked to write about our experiences with Simeon for a blog. I wanted to share it here.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

11 Months and Easter

 Elisha is now 11 months old! Time is certainly flying! This is the same shirt that Abel wore for his 11 month picture! They look completely different, and yet, they have similar qualities too (ie both very cute:).

Abel now:)

 "Horse" riding! Despite Elisha's face, he really liked it (especially when the horse goes fast).

Happy boy!

 He did an Easter Egg hunt the town put on, he found two! 

 Another egg hunt, he kept finding the real eggs and squishing them! 

 Found some more!

 Abel on the hunt...

 Eyeing another egg...he got quite a few on his own.

 Abel's booty. We have shared a lot of these (and there were only 5 kids at this one, everyone had this many!)

 Dying eggs together

 All done...he was pretty happy with them

 Easter family picture

 My precious boys!

 Playing around while waiting for Easter brunch

 Finding eggs at home...Dad is REALLY good at hiding eggs, it took him awhile to find them all!

 Found another! Notice the sword? He has been Zorro the past few days and needed to "patch his sword in" before we went out. 

 Found one Dad!

 The basket!

I had to laugh at this one because they have almost the same expression!
