Addy is helping James get his two handled kite up. We had a great time flying the kites. It was windy and there was a bit of chill in the air, but it was great to be with my family!

We went to a different park to fly kites. The original park was having a Renaissance Festival. The park we went to today was right next to our airport. We could see the airliners taking off and other small planes landing. I, the one who worries a lot, had vision of planes crashing due to the kites.

This is what you do when your kids let go of the handle! This happened a total of three times. The last time it was Caleb who let go. The wind took off with his kite and James, Caleb and Addy had to go and find it. I was left to reel in the kite Addy had been using. I was still reeling it in when they came back with Caleb's kite! Man were my arms tired!

From top to bottom.. Caleb's kite, Addy's kite and Kaity's kite. Caleb and Kaity received a kite for Easter. We have been waiting for a nice day to go and fly them. Addy's kite is one that we have had for years. It is the best kite we have. It doesn't like to be reeled in!

Funny Kaity Sayings

There is only one funny Kaity saying today....We have been doing a new devotional book in the morning and with this new book we are memorizing a scripture. This weeks scripture is Genesis 1:1. Instead of Genesis Kaity keeps saying Jesus 1:1.

Couldn't Fool Her....

A few weeks ago James was ironing some patches onto Kaity's Cubby Vest. Unfortunately the vest burned so that evening we bought one to replace the burned one. Today I finally got around to putting the patches in place and handed it to Kaity to put in her bag. She immediately noticed a few differences in this new vest. See we didn't tell her about the burned vest because we knew it would devastate her. She kept finding differences though and I finally had to tell her what happened. There weren't any tears. She just said..did you tell Mr. Jim Thank You for me! Funny girl we couldn't just slip the new vest in without an explanation.

Happy Easter. God Bless!

Today we built a tomb to celebrate Good Friday. Tonight we read the Crucifixion story from the Bible. Sunday we will roll away the tomb before the kids get up. We are going to hide Jesus and the kids will have to find Him during the egg hunt.

Praise the Lord!

We are very please to announce that James will be returning to work on Monday. Over the past two months we have had to fully rely on God. He, as always, has been amazing in how well he provides. He provided first our family that provided much emotional support. He also allowed us to see the many friends that we have gained here in Wichita. Thank you to you all who surrounded us in prayer. We have also, over the past two weeks. been blessed by anonymous! We see your gifts as blessings from God. We thank you very much!

Caleb has turned 11! Shocking I know! He has in the past couple of months taken an interest in how he looks. He is doing his own hair and taking a shower without being prompted! Isn't he getting so handsome!

It snowed about two weekends ago. The kids had a great time playing in it. Cadence did too!
