floppy ears.

good friday.

we serve a great God, don't we?

it has been hitting me 

a lot today that not only did

he give up his son for us...

for all of our "bad stuff" {sin.}

but then he still blesses us

that is crazy love.

can not imagine giving my son over 

for someone else's wrong-doings!

well good friday

always makes us realize 

how wonderful easter is.

so easter.

yes the easter bunny.

the worlds attempt

to take jesus out of easter

however i find that it only 

adds to it.

as a child the easter bunny

always came and just added

to the blessing of the 

day.

i never questioned that the

greatest gift of easter was Jesus.

i hope to instill the same thing

in my kids.

anyways,

i love easter!

the colors of easter are sooooo

pretty.

and a basket of goodies is

so much fun. so i have pictures of 

jesse's easter basket i made

this year...without the insides

{that will be posted on easter!}

and yes,

i did step by step

in case any of you care to see.

[otherwise go straight to the last picture.]

 my current craft obsession: mod podge.

and as usual cardboard!

 i teared up just the writing part of magazines...only wanted the black and whites.

 covered the entire outside with shredded magazines

 then put down a strip of hot glue....attaching colored shredded paper to the rim.

 the completed rim.

and the final basket...the handle is made of an old white wire hanger that i just bent up.

and yes if your all thinking like my husband...

[ie he is never even going to know....and

what is the point?]

well, i plan on using the basket in the future

as something like an easter centerpiece for the

table...or something

and if nothing else hopefully we get cute easter

pictures.

plus, for now it is somewhat 

 distracting me from thinking 

constantly about how this baby should come out now!
ps...the title 'floppy ears'
refers to all the easter talk. bunnies...

ok next subject.

marks job.

so we finally have some pictures of 

where he is working.

apparently they do not do it justice

he is really happy with his desk

{office}...he can see the airport at all times

from his chair...and he thinks he got a 

really good spot in the building.

i am sure when you actually see him

he can do better explaining than me

but i have the pictures to show you.

 so this is currently his only decoration, besides a banner he snagged to put up to not not make it quite so bare. on his first day he walked into the office to a brand new mac book pro laptop, shopatron mouse pad, mug, pen, and notebook. they also provide a larger desktop so he has a bigger screen to look at.

 this is looking into his cubicle/office.
they are really big... a lot of desk space
left hand side: drawers and a high cabinet also on that wall is a white board
the walls are all peg board.
separate stand for his mac computer.
right hand side: another chair with another little separate desk area...for conferencing with other people
top of the cubicle is all glass so it does not feel to closed in.

and this is a closer view of his desk...

this picture is prior to any pictures of his family...or other things that he will put up in the near future. i will post pictures when it looks better. [i would say cuter but that would not go well...]

lastly, 

i was going to post a short video

from my phone but it is not working

right now...but it was 

video of jesse talking on the phone.

he is a crack up.

today at the store

he had everyone in line cracking up 

because he was talking into his

toy phone...and telling everyone else 

about it.

it was really fun because normally he 

just stares at anyone who tries 

to talk to him at the stores.
