Easter

I know it was a week ago, but I thought I'd share some pics of our Easter celebration...This is Jude before we left for church....

This is Jude upon returning home...yes, he peed through both his shirts...luckily I saved the pants. Silly me...no change of clothes.


Below is our Easter lunch with our dear friends, David and Susanna Brown. MMMMM.....
And yes, it snowed on Easter. Big Fat Snow. It looked like Manna! But it didn't stick, so we can't be sure...

Catching up....

Well, it's been a while. There have been many happenings in the lives of the Schuknechts....where to begin? March 14-17 we all went to Austin to visit...it was fantastic. It's looking very likely that we will be returning to Austin this summer permanently. Troy interviewed for a wonderful job down there, and we are excited about the way God is leading. We'll be more specific once things are official.

We had a great time in the beautiful weather. Jude enjoyed meeting his Auntie Alisa, Uncle Peter, Uncle Cameron and cousin Josiah. But alas, we didn't take our camera. Sorry!
While there, Troy celebrated his 28th birthday! Wow! Thirty is just around the corner!


The day after we got home, Troy had mid-terms for seminary. It was a bit of a crunch for him, but I'm sure he did well...

Then Troy and I took an evening to celebrate his birthday (with Jude, of course). He picked where he wanted to go to dinner...you probably DIDN'T guess it: GOLDEN CORRAL! Of all the restaurants! That's Troy. But he was thrilled with his dinner and definitely took advantage of the dessert bar!Troy got a new camera flash for his birthday...so he was testing it on everybody. This is Ginger. She's pretty patient when it comes to posing for pictures.

And of course, March Madness is consuming our lives most of the time. I am proud to say I'm dead last in our family bracket. But, my final four are all still in it, so I could come back!

Jude is becoming a very happy little guy. We love seeing him smile.

Snow storm and hanging out....

Well, on Saturday it snowed about 14 inches here...that's NUTS! It's March in Kentucky, so of course everybody was a bit excited since we broke some weather records. It was enough that the city snow crews really couldn't handle it, so we stayed indoors most of the weekend. It's already mostly melted, though, and it's Sunday night.

Other than lots of playing Boggle and watching Seinfeld on DVD, we pretty much did nothing. It was nice!

Last weekend (3/1), my friends Susanna, Laura and I threw a shower for our friend Josie who's having a baby. It was a tea-party shower...very fun!

Jude is smiling now...for the past two weeks or so....it's so rewarding to get that grin!


He actually likes to be changed!



Watching the snow out the window....ok, I know he can't see very far, but we like to think he enjoyed the snowstorm!

Prayer Update

Ok...quick update on the prayer request I published last week.....Troy's student is doing as well as can be expected. She's been reading through the Psalms (I think she's read all of them by now!) when she's feeling discouraged. I'm very thankful that she's turning to God's word. It may be the first time she's really sought Him out in this way.

Many of you have been asking about whether she will give the babies up for adoption. Right now, she wants to keep them. Please keep praying with us that God will care for the babies and for her in the way that most glorifies Him. He may change her mind on what to do with the babies, but for now we're praying that God will provide a place for her to go when they're born ( she's being told that she will have to leave her house).

Praise God again that the babies are alive and that God is protecting them even now.....

Thanks everyone!
