Our Families Easter Saturday

I never take it for granted that our children have decided to raise their families in Greenville, South Carolina, we count our blessings! We have alot of family get togethers throughout the year but this was our first real event with Molly. Her first Easter. Along with the other 3 children she will growup knowing that Jesus loves her and died on the cross for her as HE has for all of us. We PRAISE God HE HAS RISEN and will return for us someday. We are proud of our children and the paths they have chosen to raise their children for the Lord. Neither of them are perfect by any means but their hearts are headed in the right direction. My heart sings with joy when I think about their soulmates they have chosen. When we met James they were teenagers and now in their mid thrities ;-) and Jessica came into our lives as a teenager as well and now her and Skip are in their late and mid twenties. It's been such a privledge to watch them all growup together and now parents themselves.

A "TRUE PADILLA PORTRAIT" I would put the one of Skip and Jess on here but Jessica would ring my neck....sorry maybe next time around!

The Padilla's were trying to get some decent shots of the kids and this was about the best they could do!

These 4 children are our sunshine! We could be living a very boring life without their imput in life! We praise God everyday for them.

Molly loves Jessalyn and Dawson because they will sit there and talk to her She gave them a few smiles.


I got this "real" USARMY issued hamick for James and as you can see he has put it to good use.

Molly's first time in a dress....she was so sweet and cute

Instead of filling the kids up with candy I bought them what they would enjoy having. Bryson and new bionical figure, Jessalyn a double feature of The Little Princess and The Secret Garden, Dawson a Thomas Train DVD and CARS shirt, Molly a Baby Einsten CD
