What a two weeks we've had! Happy belated Easter! HE has risen; HE has risen indeed! I'm disappointed in myself more than anything but we Christians have to figure out a way to put more emphasis on the day that CHANGED EVERYTHING! Christmas is great and is a key event in the history of Christianity... but seriously - starting next year this family is finding a way to rejoice with genuine joy and appreciation!
Now that I'm down from my soap box and shamed myself... back to some of the exciting news of the past two weeks, starting with the send off of the Lillpops! Above is Chris, an amazing man of GOD and wonderful friend - he and his lovely wife Kelly spent their last night in the states with us and it was incredible to be with them, pray over them, and be there as they start this next stage in GOD's journey for them (link to their blog below). They are incredible people and it is an honor to be a part of their ministry in Poland!
And this amazing picture below is so you can see 78.3% of Kelly (on the left) - not sure what Jenny is doing on the right (or what Tigue has in his mouth)
This book below is AMAZING! Levi has almost the entire book memorized. It is so cute hearing him "read" and Tigue tries too :) Chris gave them a new twist on the book with his great energy and interactions with the boys!
Now I'll have to post a separate entry for Easter. We only had our phones with us and most of it is video, so I'll have to pull picture from that. However, we had a wonderful weekend spent with family and the boys got loved on as usual. We spent Saturday with my grandparents (Goggy and Bompa), my aunt Jeni and uncle Frank, and my sister Sammi and her fiance Dylan. Sunday was spent with all of Jenny's mom's side of the family. Unfortunately, uncle John wasn't able to be in town but I ate an extra slice of pie for him :) For the record, Jenny was in charge of Easter lunch/dinner and not only was it amazing, but it was Greek theme - it was spanikopi-tastic!
Special event number 3... Tigue started gymnastics (tumbling)!
SO FAST!
(Part of his floor routine)
(Yup, so fast!)
Stretching!
(No... I'm not doing that)
Tigue is surprisingly strong for his age
(I'm not biased at all)
Pulling his nose to the bar!
Leg kicks!
(This will be an Olympic event by 2020)
(This is a weird horse...)
Tigue is amazingly talented!
I think he could hang their all day...
Finishing the beam in style!
And nothing ends a day in the gym like stamps!
Showing off those stamps!
Nap time... or goofing around.
Tickles!
Busted!
This makes it all worth it!
Another chapter in "Life in Leviland"
Life is good in Leviland...
Thank you for stopping by for another chapter in TheJonesPod. We're about to wrap up busy season at work this coming week and I'm hoping to get some extra time with the pod. Make sure you all get your returns filed this week or send in those extensions! Hopefully we'll get the chance to visit with some of you that we haven't seen in a while and just get some much needed R&R. I wish you all a happy start to spring and GOD bless! Please be praying for the Lillpops as they start their mission in Poland and walking in GOD's plan!
Additionally, please pray for our friends' son Cayden (age 2) as he has been diagnosed with a rare cell regeneration disease (LCH) and will have an especially tough next year as he gets chemo-therapy to fight the spread (similar to that used to fight cancer). Pray that they feel GOD's presence throughout this struggle and for GOD's miraculous healing!

Look out 2030 Olympics...her comes Tigue from the USA. He sure seems to really enjoy gymnastics. So cute.
Looks like he also enjoys his big brother,too. I can almost hear the giggling going on. It reminded me of G-Woo and Aunt Cissy when they were that age and supposed to be napping.
Thanks for the update.
Love to all,
Goggy
