Choo Choos

 This weekend Zion had its annual Jubilee.  This year there was a huge thrill for Ezra - a train ride!  Ezra is train-crazy these days.  He's been introduced to Thomas, and he gets supremely excited when he hears or sees a train.  Ezra is still talking about the "choo choo" today - telling it "bye-bye"!

Upwards Soccer

It's Naomi's turn to play, now, and she's all ready for her first soccer game!

Warming up

Waiting for her turn to go in... Naomi is great encourager, cheering for her teammates!

 

Naomi is number 23

Throwing in the ball

Naomi plays with a smile - even when she's running! 

Easter

Happy Easter!  We spent our morning first in the chapel, watching the choir perform their cantata.  It's rare that we get to have Daddy sit with us for a whole service, so it was special to squeeze into a pew with him, Johnathan curled up on his lap.

Then we were off to the service.  We took these pictures afterward.  Ezra just can't resist that glass podium.

For dinner we had our Passover Seder, which we delayed from Friday, because Passover is no fun when Naomi has stomach flu!  We thought we were in the clear by Sunday....

...but the highly observant might notice that Johnathan's not looking too good in this picture.  I'll spare you the details, but we didn't make it through this meal, either!

Lots of Eggs!

Saturday before Easter around here is egg hunt day.

 And we had fun painting eggs, too.  Daddy and Johnathan work hard on their Bronco-colored eggs.

Ezra had no patience for coloring eggs, but he was quite fascinated with putting the tiny egg stickers on his hand!
