we got to spend easter in georgia with our families and had such a wonderful time!! we celebrated on saturday with the fortneys at the lake where we ate way too much and hunted easter eggs. we also got to celebrate my b'day a little early and john's dad's 70th b'day! on sunday after church, we ate lunch at the club and then went to my parents' house for an easter egg hunt. we also celebrated my b'day and john's b'day at my parents' house. it's so hard to know when we'll all be together so we have to do it when we can. in the midst of it all, we remembered what easter is all about it...that our Lord is risen and alive indeed! thank you, God, for the sacrifice of your son Jesus for us. i understand the depth of that gift a little more now that i have 2 precious kids of my own.
