It's April Fools!! My dad and my crazy aunt Dot used to love this "holiday". One could never be sure what might happen on April 1st. I also have a friend who was born on April 1st. Now that's sad.

Some funny moments lately from the girls:
--Maddie's view of reality when it comes to hair is sharply skewed thanks to her father. Most normal children would warn you if your hair is sticking up. Maddie becomes concerned when my hair is "sticking down".

--Maddie and Ella have taken to singing "Shout Hallelujah" and they love to dance while singing it. However, their version says, "Shout Hadalujah" sung with great gusto!

On a much more somber note, please continue to pray for the Shaubs. Jonathan got some bad news yesterday. The doctors said that the pelvic area around the large wound they have been treating is beginning to ossify. Basically, that means due to lack of movement and the inability to get the wound closed, his body is beginning to produce bone-like tissue in the area which could impact his ability to walk. Please join us in praying that JD will be able to beat this and return to normal soon. Doctors told them yesterday that they expect to keep him in ICU at least another 6 weeks. That was hard news for everyone.

Tonight we head to the studio. Peter flies in around 3 and we'll rest some before we head out to Franklin. Please keep praying for this process. We are asking that God would anoint this time and sing through us.

I'll leave you with some pictures from our Easter weekend.


Maddie and Ella ready to go to the Otter Creek Easter egg hunt on Saturday


My mom with the girls at our house


Maddie and Ella with their cousins, Cannan and Sierra (Fajita's kids!)


These little bunnies all have their mouths full!



Thomas family--at my mom's on Easter Sunday. (nice pic of Maddie, huh? This was sort of her mood for good chunks of the weekend)


OC Easter Sunday morning--the Easter Choir (we're missing a few, but most of them were in the picture. The girls wanted in too! The sweet cherub sitting next to them is Abby Cox--sitting next to her mom, Clarissa!)

Thanks for letting me share. I hope you guys have a great weekend. We'll feel your prayers as we resume recording tonight. Thank you!!
