Lightning Strikes and a Funny Girl

I haven't posted in a while because our computer was fried. A bad storm came through Franklin about 3 or 4 weeks ago, and lightning literally struck in our back yard. Brian's dad said our trees would start dying soon, and sure enough, the ones in the back yard have started turning brown. The strange thing about it was when it hit, it knocked out our cable, phone, and computer, but our power stayed on. We saw a big blue flash in our house and didn't realize what it was until we weren't able to turn our computer on. I'm really not sure what we did before we had a computer because it's been very difficult to function without one; however, it has been good to spend extra time playing games as a family. We haven't been so involved in email, and we haven't worried too much about what we are missing.

We were without our cable and phone for over a week, so we've definitely gotten to know each other a little better. While spending so much time together, we've had the pleasure sharing these things with Ella:

-She loves to role play. Ususally I'm Bob and she's Larry from Veggie Tales, but her new favorite is God, Jesus and the Holy Spirt. She always gets to be God.
-She's decided that when we get to Heaven, God will make sure we all brush our teeth.
-When she gets big, she wants to be "bathtized", and she wants daddy to do it.
-When the bad people get to Heaven, God will teach them to be good.
-She can't see God living in her heart because her skin is covering Him up.
-She wants a brother and a sister, and their names will be Diego and Alicia (those of you with little children will recognize those names)
-If we brush every night, we'll have healthy "guns" and won't get "fake" teeth.
-She's on God's team
-And my personal favorite, "Mama, we have a Mighty God, don't we?"

I have lots of Easter pictures and will post them as soon as our computer is fixed.
