You should see my heart.

Lucille had her first road trip to Fargo for Easter weekend. We had a wonderful time celebrating with the Ohlson family. All I wanted for Easter was a picture of my kids in darling church outfits and smiling/posed perfectly. Of course because this is real life we are talking about the picture of my four kids not looking, sitting on a pile of dead grass is what we got! In a way I like it more than that photo I dreamed up in my head. That is how I have been feeling about life lately. Sometimes I look around my house at the mess, or listen to the chaos of so many little voices and think "This is not what I dreamed it would be", but then other times, more often than not actually, I think, "This is exactly how it should be." My sister-in-law has this fabulous quote hanging in her house  - If you think my hands are full, you should see my heart.
My hands are definitely full, but we are all growing - together.
Erik accepted a post doc/fellowship at St Louis University. We will be moving beginning of July. It is such a bittersweet thing. I am so grateful he got a job and we can move forward without hesitation. God has been so kind to us.
