Easter Sunday

Good morning, Easter Bunny!

In church this morning, the service began with a medley of songs accompanied by several dozen percussionists playing on five gallon buckets. If you look carefully below, you can see Jordan, wearing a plaid short sleeved shirt, with Phillip to his right and partially obscured by another musician. If I can, I'll post video of the music later.

When we got home from church, we took a few Easter pictures, primarily for the benefit of Auntie Laura . . .

After that, our friends Jeff and Karen Parish came by for a short visit, along with Jeff's brother Mike and Mike's wife, Karen. They had been in Ohio for the boys' mother's funeral and so they drove the 110 miles to Fort Wayne to see us. We had a chilly backyard Easter egg hunt for the four youngest kids . . .

Obviously, Jordan helped hide the eggs . . .

But Aislinn didn't mind retrieving them at all . . .

Then there was egg coloring . . .

. . . followed by the traditional Easter dinner of pizza, pizza, pizza and pizza and then we watched the DVD of our trip to China and video of our vacation in Florida with Jeff's family in 2002.
