OPENING DAY AND AN OUTDOOR ADVENTURE

So this week we celebrated yet another major holiday (not March Madness, that was the holiday that took me on my 3 week hiatus), but Cardinal's Opening Day!  Check out this picture of George & Daddy:


Tom dreams of the day that George will anticipate this day as much as he does and it is already a mandate in our family that Cardinals' apparel is worn on this great, great day.  To top it off, the Cardinals won!!  Here's to the next six months of our lives...Go Cards!!

Today, being Good Friday, Tom and I both had the day off so we took George on his first hiking trip.  He wasn't sure at first he liked it...



But he quickly got used to being carried by Daddy (please note the sign they are walking by.  Tom says that they will break all sorts of rules when I'm not around like that and just say "we're boys, Mom!").











After awhile, he got sick of riding and wanted to walk...

















He even took the lead!











On another note, but a way more important note, today is Good Friday.  It was 11 years ago on Good Friday, that I accepted what Christ did today as the necessary atonement for my sins to reconcile my relationship with God.  It humbles me that my Savior would endure the most humilating and shameful form of death this world has ever seen, that He would willingly take on my sin, becoming disgusting in the eyes of His Father, and be forsaken, all to be able to say that "It is Finished" meaning the sins of the world have been paid and the relationship between us and God had been restored.  Amazing...what a Savior!!  Praying you too know this truth this Easter!
