Happy Easter!

HE IS RISEN! He is risen indeed, Alleluia!

Happy Easter to all of you out there whom we miss and love dearly, and anybody else who might tap in.

Eden's first Easter started out bright and early, as I had to be at church for bells at 0615. Walking out the door, I saw that the Easter Bunny had arrived and left surprises. Eden was very interested, but I was very late....

I got smart last week and set up the pack and play at church in a dark corner so that with all Holy Week's late and early services, I could have a place to leave her sleep. (It only took me 7 months to figure something like that out!) When she fell asleep in it this morning, the tulle from her dress was over her head and she looked like a mini bride.

Services were nice, there were about 120 people, most dolled up for the festival. The processional into the church was really beautiful, the kids did great carrying the lilys and candles and the bell choir was right on in rhythym. One lit candle exploded out of the candelabra as it was about to be set down. Luckily, nobody started on fire. Breakfast by the LYF followed, consisting of egg caseroles and sausage. Al called to make some communion runs after chruch and then we both crashed for a bit in the basement. The day is Beautiful and I'm looking forward to a nice drive.

We're headed out of town tonight and tomorrow night to visit friends about 2 hours away, so we're looking forward to a reprive of work, work and more work. They have three boys, so Eden is going to get a taste of 'noise'. Samson is looking forward to a new yard to poop in for a while, as well as having us all to himself for a couple days!~

Eden took an immediate interest in her new bunny

more interested in the ceramic egg than the camera.
