Poor little boy fell and got a fat lip... all while not feeling good. Dying Easter eggs

a sneak peak at our new room. More to come soon.





“Wherever you are, be all there. It is only possible in the posture of eucharisteo (thanksgiving). Give thanks and see God. Full attention slows the current. Simplicity is a matter of focus. That keeps the focus simple.” – Ann Voskamp, One Thousand Gifts



“It is up to each of us to set the example, to show by our actions our respect for intimacy, contemplation, and wonder. This is perhaps the greatest legacy we can bestow on our children: the capacity to be enchanted by the quiet gifts of everyday life.” – Katrina Kennison, Mitten Strings for God

Some pictures

Ok.. I know I am way over-do for a blog update but life is just too crazy. I can't keep up with it all lately it seems.

Here is our little Keener Beaner. We did an egg hunt at my parents and while the kids are looking for more eggs he is trying to figure out how to open the one he has and eat the candy. My dad with Kenan



My little girls





The girls with the Easter bunny. They know he isn't real and just a person dressed up but they still wanted their picture with him.


This picture is just so classic Kenan. Always getting into things. This time it's dirt. Rather than stopping him I just figured he'll learn for himself that he doesn't like it. Can you tell he's a 3rd?!


Stay tuned for pictures of our beautiful basement... It's coming together really nice and we will be down there... at least in our bedroom by the weekend! :-)

My sweet Emily

In no time at all she went from this.... to this.... Still just as cute.. just bigger and older and smarter and adorable as ever!
Emily-

You are such a sunshine. Daddy and I love you so much. You always make us smile. You have the cutest voice in the world.... seriously! I can't imagine a day not filled with you. You love cubbies and sunday school and anything you can do to show your independence. You are a very eager learner and want to do everything your older sister does. You are a big helper with your little brother. I enjoy you so much my Emma-dee-dee. Happy 4th birthday sweetheart! You are loved!
