Jessie grows up!

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!!!

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Romans 6:8-11

In other news, here is a little background-through-pictures of our houseguest for the next week or so.

Here is Jessie as I remember her. When we met Mike, Deanna, and family, Jessie wasn't even born yet, but we got close them when Jessie was spit-fire two-year-old. Seriously. You have never met a kid like her.

We adopted these kiddos to do fun things like zoos and museums and aquariums and stuff like that.

Mike and Deanna with Sam, Jessie, and Grace. This was probably in about 2001?

A recent photo of the kiddos.

Here's Jessie in her first few moments with the kiddos. Putting a curious George hat on Elijah ...

... and having Elijah put it on her.
