He is Risen!

We had a great Easter this year with beautiful weather. After an early-morning pajama egg hunt through the house (which included wrapped candy that we didn't notice Bridger could open until he was well into his third chocolate egg), we got in our Easter finest and headed to church. Being 7 months pregnant, my Easter finest is pretty much whatever still fits that looks remotely festive, but Bridger had a brand-new outfit and was looking especially cute. New Life had an uplifting and enjoyable service during which we were tangibly aware that our church-plant probably won't have a brass band for upcoming Easter services any time soon. Bridger has begun to understand the true Easter story this year as we've been reading books about it and talking. We tried to bring it up a lot yesterday so as not to have him think Easter was completely about chocolate and bunnies. After a long nap for everyone, we headed to a friend's house for a lovely Easter dinner and the kids played and ate themselves silly. I hope you enjoy these photos from our day. I'm just thrilled that there's a few decent ones of me and Bridger. I normally go months without appearing in a single shot, but this Easter I have proven I exist for posterity.
