Benjamin and his parents! (More on that later) So this year for the 1st time ever Jackie and I decided to do Easter at our house. We do not hold many events at our place, but this Easter we wanted to make it work. So after a back breaking Saturday of getting everything ready, it was time to throw on the hosting hats and get the party started. The food was great, the company was fantastic (we missed you Kelly, Joey and the little one we don’t know yet). The easter egg hunt was a lot of fun, I don’t know if they all were found, but I am sure Scooter and Scruffy will find a few missing eggs during the week.

So on to the MVP award. Well sometime into the day Amy came running in with little Benjamin in her arms, covered in Blood, it would seem the little guy took a tumble, and knocked his little head that caused a cut which made him look like William Wallace from Braveheart. Everyone’s reaction was of horror, my stomach just went into knots, but the look and reaction of Chris and Danyelle is something I will never forget, they were calm, focused and in complete control of the situation. Chris took little B, and Danyelle just placed all trust in him to make it right. This was very comforting to me. Being the parents of three boys is no easy task I am sure of, but seeing how calm, cool and collective speaks volumes of how great of parents they are. I am glad to know that when the time comes for Jackie and I to have kids that we have such a valuable resource to look to. This is true for all the parents around us; family is the strongest relationship next to Faith. Without either of those the smallest of things become overwhelming.

Anyway, little B is fine; it was a small cut that looked big, and nothing to worry about at all. But that small cut thought me so much. It showed that our family is blessed and strong, and as a team we come together perfectly, even in the scariest of moments.
