Dear God,
Thank you just doesn't say what my heart wants to express. How can I ever in my lowly human form express it? There is no way. No way I can even really understand Your love for me.
No way I can ever, this side of Heaven, fathom who You are, the sacrifices You made, the depth, breadth, unconditional, unending love.
Thank you for coming to our world. For living as a weak human and experiencing what we do so that You could really understand who we are and how we think, feel, and all we must go through. For suffering a most horrible, gruesome, torturous death. For rising again and sharing all that will be with us. For being so long suffering and merciful, even when I am slow, stubborn, just plain stupid, and just plain wrong.
Thank You God for it all.
Happy Easter!

love my cousins!!!
My dear cousin, Regina, came to see me this week. She even brought us Roma's pizza all the way from Bethalto where I went to high school!!! OOOOOHHHHH, Roma's has the best pizza ever, and I had forgotten how good it is!!!!! The best thing she brought to us, though, was her love and these two sweet little ones who call me "BekaBoo."
Thank you Regina, Bella, and Sarah for coming to see us. Thank you Phillip, Paige & Caleb for sharing your wife/mom with us! I love you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The girls loved our pets, and were especially fascinated with Cinnamon. They tried to coax him downstairs to play with them. Here they finally got him to come down for some cat treats.
Bella is a sweetheart! She loved posing for me every time I snapped photos. Such a cutie!
Look at that grin! How could you refuse such a face??? She's a doll, and her voice is even more adorable, especially when she said, "BekaBoo, I love you!" awwwwwww
Bella loved picking the flowers on the "mountain" at the school playground behind our house.
Loved this photo of Sarah! She was playing in the playhouse at the school playground, and I snuck around and caught her photo through the window.
Blowing the dandelion to make a wish
Matthew was a good sport and played Hide & Go Seek/ Tag with the girls.
my baby girl, Barbara Rose, a.k.a. Pippi Longstocking :)
Regina and me
Joe Cool just chillin' while we play
Loved this one! Bella copied Matthew soaking in some rays on the hillside
Barbara Rose and the girls making cookies
