So I am surfing the blogs and I am shocked that I have beat my other two blogging sister's Dolly and Donna to an Easter post! Girls???
Our week is finally over! Thank you JESUS! Not to give anyone the wrong idea about our Easter, but when you're working at a church, certain times of the year are draining. Easter is one of these times. But I must say, that even with the chaos of our weekend, our Easter service today left me refreshed, renewed, and awed at God's love for me. So undeserving am I, but yet Jesus loves me. He died a cruel death, was buried and rose again ALL FOR ME! When I truly think about that, does anything else matter? The chaos in our weekend was soon diminished and the focus was back to where it should be, on the true meaning of today, Easter!
By the way, kudos to whoever at South Biscayne was responsible for the "Amazing Grace/My chains are Gone" song/drama (by Chris Tomlin from the movie Amazing Grace). Major tear jerker!
Anyhoo, below are some pictures from our day. Oh, and we officially celebrated Sweet Margaux Jeanne's 1st birthday, today, with Danny's family!
South Biscayne staff/family Easter picture.
The Saul, Delegrange (minus baby Tyler), and Logan children.They all just received a chocolate bunny which Harry Jack had all
over his white shirt by the time we got home.
My Maddie girl! Ooh La La! She had her outfit and hair planned out for a few weeks.Thanks Grammy and Grand Daddy for the beautiful dress!
I love that God blessed us with "pairs." These two are definitely a pair. Hopefully Harry Jack
and Margaux will be a close pair too!
SMJ!!!! Maddie is so cute. She always tells me how much she lovesMargaux in words like this, "Mommy I love Margaux more then a million dollars!"
Someone snuck a Robin Egg and is trying to hide it in her mouth.
Margaux's birthday cake. A very good friend of ours made this yummy cake. Notice the missing left side of the butterfly in the right bottom corner. Any guess who??? Thank you Harry Jack!
Ummm! This is how Sweet Marg's says "Yum."

I LOVED reading this post this morning and seeing all your pictures of the kids yesterday. I especially can't believe how grown up Maddie looks. That one picture of her posing with her leg crossed over her ankle cracks me up! I love HJ's face in the picture with JC and the kids. Hilarious! And I love little Margaux's dress on her. All your kids looked really cute and I know you made Easter really special for them. You're a wonderful mommy Denise! We sure missed you here this weekend but looks like you all had a lot warmer Easter there too! I love you
How cute is Maddie with her "wedge" shoes - stylin! All your kids look great. I'm glad you guys had a great Easter weekend and when it's all said and done you do have to stop and realize the REAL reason we celebrate Easter. Have a great week! :)
I also loved reading your blog, and I've been anxiously waiting to see it. Thanks for those beautiful pictures. We did have a nice time here yesterday with the whole family, and we really did miss you. I hope you can relax a bit this week and wind down from the past several days. Take a trip to the beach and just relax one day. Can't wait to get you up here in May. Have a good day. ILY
I love Maddie's shoes!! She has Dolly's style!
What a sweet Easter and I beautiful birthday cake.
He has Risen!
Denise - your kids are so cute. I LOVE seeing pictures of Miss Margaux. She is adorable. Thanks for sharing with us!!!
Okay, I'm LOL! I cant believe how big Maddie is! You can tell she felt so grown up and pretty, esp. in those big girl wedge shoes! WOOHOO! That's how Gracie was yesterday in her pantyhose! WOO! No more anklet socks for these girls!
I love all the pictures. MJ with the robin egg is hilarious. And I LOVE the one of JC with the kids. That is a keeper for sure:)
GREAT POST! I loved seeing how you celebrated Easter in the last two posts. So cute!!!! Your kids are so PRECIOUS! You will have to post more pics of M's birthday party with Danny's family.
OK, I want a pair of shoes just like Maddie....do they come in a size 8 1/2? Ha!
Great pictures and looks like a great time was had by all! Maddie does look so grown up in these pictures and I love her shoes!! So sweet of Grammy and Grand Daddy to get her that dress.....ALWAYS growing up, my grandparents on my mom's side would buy my Easter dress as my birthday present. Such a nice way for them to help out. :O)
I forgot to ask.....who is the guy in the white suit with the kids? It reminded me of Pat Boone. LOL!
well, it looks like you had a full day...i love all of the pictures. we'll have to talk later about the crisp white that makes Easter so pure! lol....
TD:Indeed!!! LOL!
Kristi--well...that is our pastor.
The minute I got to your blog and saw the first pic, I said to myself, "WOOHOOO, Maddie's wearing wedge HEELS. You go girl!!!!!!!!" You have a beauty queen on your hands and don't tell anyone but I think ya'll are the best lookin fam of South Biscayne. You look beautiful, Denny! Happy Easter. Glad things are simmaing down na!
Denise - oops! How embarasking!
by the way Denise, Leland and I watched "Here come the Newlyweds" when it first came out and we laughed so hard too. It's cheesy but sucks you in. From that point on, I can't stay up late enough to watch it. Embarrison seeing as it comes on at 10:00.
This coming Sunday, I will be watching HCTNW.
