spring break , so far.....

spring in atlanta will take your breath away

but if you blink, you might just miss it

the weather is gorgeous & the flowers are amazing
it seems though, that our springs get shorter each year

i think we hit 90 degrees yesterday

we've had many memory makers this past week~~

first off i'd love to recommend a sweetheart of a movie

caroline & i just watched a precious tender movie this morning

Hachi

a true story about the loyalty between

a dog & his person

i'm a wreck

if you know me, dogs , especially big dogs tug fiercely on my heartstrings

my birthday was april fools day, which is sorta a waste being that i'm a terrible joker
& can never
ever
remember a punch line
anyways i woke to a gorgeous day, beautiful tulips from my sweetie
probably the most beautiful words a friend has ever spoken to me

{i told you that your love language was the spoken word!--i thank you sweet kristin from the bottom of my heart...you blessed me big , today!}

breakfast with one of my favorite friends
lunch with my dad
& dinner at one of my fave outdoor pizza spots

friday night we attended the Good Friday Concert

at a beautiful new outdoor amphitheatre

with 12,000 folks

just shy of $200,000 were raised that night

all going to help different ministry efforts in Haiti
WOW!

i don't even have the words to describe how this service blew me away

totally touched my heart as we contemplated why we celebrate Easter

& glory of our risen Lord

if that concert sounded anything sorta like Heaven will sound....

we're in for amazing worship my friends!
a.m.a.z.i.n.g

last week, caroline asked Jesus into her heart!!!!!!!

here she is texting her sunday school teacher minutes later to give her the scoop

Easter Sunday

Dan baptized her

he has baptized each of the girls

i wish i could tell you how much my heart swells

watching this tender man

bless the girls

they truly see the unconditional love of Jesus

walked out , by their own daddy

the day prior

dan & i celebrated our 11 year anniversary

this sweet man loves well

he loves selflessly & endlessly

& with a loyalty that humbles me daily

allofmylove2you dmk

savannah (my oldest) is gone for the week

but left the most heartfelt note for caroline to open up

just before she was baptized

i love to see my girls love on each other like that

we miss you sweet girl but i am so thankful that caroline has such

an awesome big sissy!
sweet emily left for her first mission trip
one of the places she will minister to is a home for unwed teenage mom's
i pray she sees Jesus this week
& that she is drawn even closer to Him









lastly, i'd love to share some glimpses of spring
around our home....
this will be part 1
as i've been photographing everything i can
& playing with textures
but this post has already reached epic proportions....











(my birthday treat to myself, twill shades from jacki--perfection!)

{{i also want to thank you for many of you who continue to ask how caroline is doing....she is still having tests run by the G.I. specialist but seems to be feeling better.

i have been terrible about posting regularly

& even more terrible at touching base with each of you~~please forgive...& i'll be in touch, pinkie promise

thank you again.....you are a blessing}}
