Rooms, Rugs & Resurrection Sunday

Mr. Moo is officially a big boy! About a week and a half ago, he and Zekers spent their first night in the new bunk beds. It's almost been too easy - Mr. Moo LOVES his bed so much he just snuggles right down and usually sleeps through the night. The only bummer is that he used to sleep until 8 in the morning, and he wakes up at least an hour earlier now - this morning he was up at 6:30. The other kiddos know to look at the clock and stay in bed until 7, but it's next to impossible to get an 18-month-old to follow this concept!

He's pretty darn cute in his "big boy bed", though. Every night, we sneak in to check on him around 10, before we go to bed (I know - we're getting old), and he's usually on top of his covers, feet on his pillow and head at the wrong end of the bed. We turn him around and tuck him back in, and that's where he stays until morning.

So the really exciting thing is that now we get to make the girls' room ultra girly!! Saturday we hit McDonalds for dinner and then bought a pink rug and a comforter for Kari Bou's bed, now that the girls are sharing a bunk.

Here are pictures of the newly-finished "Cars" room Zekers has had his little heart set on:

We got the bunk beds and dresser at IKEA several months ago.

Feelin' like big stuff


Both the Good Friday communion and Resurrection Sunday services were very meaningful. I love that so much of the music we sing and all of the messages we hear are so Christ-centered; I was struck by the thought that this day is certainly special and a good time to do some extra reflecting, but really it's just an extension of what we celebrate every Sunday - so cool!

We had lunch with my parents, my sister Sarah and her daughter Addie, and my sister Hannah and her family. The picture above is all the cousins together after their egg hunt. Good grief - where did my little Rachel go?? I can't say it feels like time is flying by, but man, how they've grown this year.
