TRUE ADVENTURE
The best way that a man could test his readiness to encounter the common variety of mankind would be to climb down a chimney into any house at random, and get on as well as possible with the people inside. And that is essentially what each one of us did on the day that he was born. This is, indeed, the sublime and special romance of the family. It is romantic because it is a toss-up. It is romantic because it is everything that its enemies call it. It is romantic because it is arbitrary. It is romantic because it is there...The element of adventure begins to exist; for an adventure is, by its nature, a thing that comes to us. It is a thing that chooses us, not a thing that we choose...The supreme adventure is being born. In other words, when we step into the family we step into a fairytale. ~GK Chesterton, Heretics

Easter
Celebrating the resurrection of our great Saviour is such a special day and trying to communicate this to a 3 year old and 2 year old in the midst of chocolate frenzy has left me exhausted. We began Easter Sunday reading some verses and a note that Mommy wrote about Jesus to Kai and Suava but rather quickly the knowledge that an Easter egg hunt would follow became more important to them. I quickly grabbed the video camera to capture the adventure since Daddy was working. The egg hunt was filled with many squeals as they filled their baskets with chocolate eggs. We had just finished and were sitting down for breakfast when Daddy phoned to say he could come home for a little visit and wanted to be there for the egg hunt--so our lucky kids got to do another egg hunt! We went to church later and Suava, Kai and Caitanna all got to show off their beautiful Easter clothes that Grandmummy and Granddaddy sent! Thank you!
Looking good for the Easter service
