He is Risen!!!!
So we taught Emry to say, but she isn’t exactly sure what
Easter is all about yet. Thankfully, that’s a blanket statement. She doesn’t
understand the Easter bunny, coloring eggs or hunting for them any more than
she understands the death and glorious resurrection of our Savior. So for now
our parenting skills are intact. She doesn’t think finding Easter eggs is
better than celebrating what Christ has done for us. Next year, though…
Naturally, I dressed my children very nicely for Easter
Sunday. It’s always a wonderful Easter further north when the weather is
actually warm enough to dress in nice spring clothes. Emry wore an adorable
dress my friend Allyson had given her to wear last summer, but it didn’t fit
until this year. And Ethan had on a very cute pair of overalls he inherited
from his cousin Benny…which he proceeded to dirty with a whopper of a diaper
before church concluded. Not that it mattered ultimately for he slept through
the photo-op up at the West End Overlook anyhow. So our parenting skills are
again lacking – no adorable pictures of our kids together for the Easter
holiday. Maybe next year…
Still, we got some cute pictures all around. And, in the
end, Easter isn’t about pictures anyhow, right?
He is Risen, Indeed!!!!!

Ethan wasn’t happy until the overalls were off!

hah!)
