Easter 2008

He is risen...He is risen indeed!!
This Easter was an absolutely joyous day for Tombrella family! It was memorable in so many ways and we are grateful! Being able to explain the real meaning of Easter to the boys as it approached and then having them retell it all to us on Easter day was a real joy! All the way to church Sam kept singing, "It's Easter Day! It's Easter Day!" So cute! And then the Easter service at Covenant Life Church was so wonderful and C.J. Mahaney delivered the message! It was very sobering, yet hope giving as well! Christ rose from the dead...there in lies our hope and assurance of forgiveness!
"Our forgiveness is secured by the cross and assured by the resurrection!" C.J. Mahaney.
Then at around 3:00 we headed up to the PC for a potluck lunch with about 8 other families. It was a fun time of food, fellowship, and fun that was enjoyed by adults and children alike! After the meal we had an egg hunt for the kids on the playground of the church...the boys loved it! Sam was totally into hunting for the eggs...though Joel was more excited to play on the playground! Either way they had a blast!
Enjoy the pictures of our day!


Linus...I mean Joel, Easter morning!

Our other Linus...aka Sam, on Easter morning!

Checkin' out the goodies in his Easter bucket!


"Is there more in there?"



Our cute family after church! Aren't all my men handsome?!
I am blessed!


Serious about the hunt!


Joel picking up the one egg he found...he was
much more into playing!


Sam finding eggs for his brother. He was more
than willing to help in this way!


Rob showing Joel all the eggs his brother
found for him.


Getting into the first Easter egg...the reward of the hunt!

Happy Birthday Rob!




Just wanted to take a minute to wish my beloved a wonderful birthday! Today he turns 31 and I am more in love with him today, than when he turned 21!


Rob, you are the man of my dreams and I could not be more blessed than to have you as my husband! You love me, serve me, and sacrafice for me in more ways than I ever take notice of and I want to say thank you! The fact that the Lord chose you for me still humbles me because you are a man who walks with God and wants to live to proclaim his gospel! I am amazed that you chose me to walk that road alongside you!

Not only are you an amazing husband, but also a wonderful daddy to our boys! There is no other man I would want to set before them as an example of godliness and Biblical manhood than you! Thank you for loving them so completely!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY!
