Easter

"Living He loved me,
 Dieing He saved me,
 Buried He carried my sins far away,
 Rising He justified freely forever,
 One day He's coming,
 Oh, glorious day!"
I love that song! What a great reminder of why this day is so special and why it makes every day so special! We had a wonderful morning at church (yes, Neal went with us!) Isn't it an interesting thought that in the Garden of Eden, when God kept Adam and Eve away from the tree of Life, He did it out of love? Yes! so that they wouldn't have to live forever in their sinful state! So they could be redeemed by Christ's sacrifice and have eternal life with God! Thank You Jesus!
The weather was beautiful today! We came home from church to a ham dinner. After a little rest we did Easter baskets and an Easter egg hunt. The girls are so full of sugar! Yikes! Well, at least they had fun!
Oh, and yes, Saturday the girls and I colored eggs. That was an adventure!...I'll have to try to get some pictures of that on here sometime.
Saturday night. 4 little dresses, 4 little pairs of shoes...

My beautiful girls Easter morning!

Sisters

Due to lack of sleep, my mind is not fit to write much but I can post some pictures!



Selah loves her newest little sister!

So does Abby!

Abby pretending to be a puppy...with pink cowboy boots!

Chloe`'s first tub bath...she liked it for the most part.

Abby told me the other day, "Mommy, I want to be a mommy and a baby Doctor!"
I know she could do it!

She just LOVES babies!

My Mom was a life-saver and wonder woman when she watched the three girls while I was still in the hospital. Here is a picture of them before one of their several "treasure walks"...hmmm...think we like pink?

Sweet Chloe`

Chloe` Avynle`

Chloe` Avynle` was born on April 4, 2011 at 6:55am. She was 7 lbs 2 oz and 20 1/2 in. long. When our Doctor handed her to me he said, "here is your miracle baby". Then he said, "Calle`, she had a true knot in her cord." Wow. From what I've read only 1 in 2000 births have a true knot and close to 10% can end tragically. I saw the cord (wished I would have taken a picture) and am still amazed at the thought of it all.
Thank you Father for my little Chloe`. She is such a blessing and my love for her is overflowing because of your love. Thank you for all of my girls. What gifts they are! Treasures from You that I cherish. Help me to be the mommy you want me to be for them. Guide me every step of the way LORD, I need you.
 Love, Calle`
"Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the great deep." (Psalm 36: 5-6)
