Remembering the Reason


When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”  - Matthew 27


The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. - Matthew 28

A Special Easter Present

At a time when children usually receive far too much chocolate, our 4 year old received an Easter gift of a different sort this year.

She still received her fair share of eggs of the chocolate variety. This year we had an egg hunt in our back yard for a bit of fun.

The Bunny Brigade

It was the last day of term yesterday at preschool. The teachers had been hard at work readying the children for a visit from the "Easter Bunny". The kids had all made special hats with bunny ears, and each one had a nose and whiskers painted onto their face. The "Bunny" had snuck into the garden and hidden the eggs while the children were inside.

They were ready - and the doors opened...

Out came hopping (literally) a class full of beautiful 4 year old bunnies all very eager to find the hidden eggs.




In the end a happy group of bunnies - each with their own egg to devour.
