Our Easter--Caleb's First!!!!

What a wonderful Easter we had today!!! Caleb got his first Easter basket, complete with a great book on the real meaning of Easter, some toy keys (because he loves Mommy's!), some new onesies, a stuffed bunny, and 2 Cadburry eggs for mommy and daddy! ;) We got ready for church (after poor Bryan only slept for 1 1/2 hours after working from 7-7 the night before!) in our green-themed clothes, and headed out for the service. We got there super early, which was a good thing, because it was a packed house. The service was amazing-music, message, all awesome. The best part was when Jon said, "You know, we do this every week!" Hahaha. He spoke about our response to Christ's rising from the dead...how we need to "die" (be baptized, accept Him) in order to "never die"-have that eternal life He offers us. After church we went to my mom's to eat lunch, had a little photo shoot among the tulips, got another Easter basket, etc. Then we headed BACK to church at 3 for the first ever baptisms in the pond!! There were over 150 people (some are saying 200) who "died so that they may never die"...it was so incredible to be a part of it. Perfect weather. We then went home, where Daddy and Caleb fell asleep in the rocking chair and Mommy uploaded pictures to Facebook. Took a little walk around the neighborhood, came home, and got ready for bed. A wonderful day. "Oh praise the One who paid my debt and raised this life up from the dead..." Amen and Amen!!
