Running Our Race

First off I want to say...yipee!  I have been patiently waiting for this orchid to bloom again for ONE year!  So worth the wait!  Gina and Bob gave it to me for my birthday last year.  I wasn't sure if there was hope since it had been so long without a bloom.  Both Faith and my mom were confident it would bloom again so I held onto it, while faithfully watering it and keeping it in the window!  Love it! Our Easter was great.  The weather in Alabama couldn't have been better.  Perfect temps and sunny!  How Glorious! Saturday morning, Caroline had her first real Easter egg hunt.  She picked it up so quick!  Of course Jake had to help her find the eggs...ha!  Kate and Caroline "hunted" eggs forever!  She is a great older sister!  Saturday afternoon, we invited a few families over to have dinner, hang out, and have a nighttime easter egg hunt ... Here are Jay, Brett, and Emma Grace getting the food ready for ...

Our Easter was wonderful and we hope yours was too!  More pics of our fun filled weekend on the way! Love The Scullens

Friday treat at chick-fil-a...perfect date with my girl

This weekend was perfect.  Do you ever have those?....because I feel like the Scullen family was long overdue.  I cannot believe it is April...and I guess it did sneak up on me because we have been crazy busy!!! You see...Brett and I function well under pressure and love always having "projects"...sometimes we regret them...but mostly the second we complete one, we line up the next.  So...don't feel sorry for us when I say "how busy we are"...we bring on most of it ourselves...and don't tell anybody, but secretly we love it.  This is sounding like "Confession Tuesday".  Ha!  Anyways...Uncharacteristically Brett and I took this weekend, stopped all the madness, and decided to be just "present with the kids"!  Second confession...we loved that more!  I think God is working to patiently show us balance in our life.  I am listening. Gina and Bob (hubs 'rents) drove down from Tennessee to spend time with us.  Who are we kidding...to see...
