Easter Weekend!
Easter Weekend was a great time for us. We spent Friday lunch with Karen's sister and brother-in-law, catching up, eating food prepared from a Brazilian cookbook, and chatting with Karen's parents over SKYPE, the most wonderful computer program.
After filling ourselves with good conversations and food, we left Seneca Falls and traveled to Pennsylvania to visit with Brian's recently enlarged family. Brian's sister, Christine, gave birth to Elizabeth Grace (7lb. 7oz., 20.5 in.) on Wednesday morning at 10:27 am. Aunt Karen is holding the three-day-old beautiful child in the picture below, with Big Proud Brother Seth admiring his little sister.
We enjoyed visits with most of Brian's extended family and spent much time in the outdoors, delighting in the warm (near 80's F) sunny weather. Hanna, our niece, had fun playing on the trampoline:
On Easter, we went to a "Son"rise service at Brian's Dad's church and discovered that it was an outdoor service. The service was short but beautiful with the rising sun providing an orange glow over the entire sky. Following the early service, we ate breakfast at the church and had a chance to meet Jason's girlfriend and enjoy some great conversations over some superb bacon and omelets made by Brian's dad. (The men of the church cook the breakfast.)
The cantata during the main service was simply an amazing spiritual event and a powerful evagelistic message. The songs were mostly original and the choir quite obviously practiced an incredible amount. It was entitled "Who do you say I am?" (written by Claire Cloninger & Robert Sterling). The lyrics served as a deeply meaningful reflection for Easter and the meaning and importance of Jesus's life, ministry, death, and resurrection.
It was a busy weekend, filled with late night conversations with family, games of Mexican Train (what makes it Mexican?), good food, time for worship, and no homework.
Now we are in the final stretch for Karen's degree!!!!
