Happy Easter Time!

You say the Easter Bunny lays ALL these?

Evelyn delights in sitting in the egg bin at Grandma and Grandpa Chapman's house on Easter. Emily and Roger and the girls came down too, bringing their impressive collection of Easter eggs! Julia and Mom came up with a variation on the regular old Easter egg hunt. They created funny Charades type characters we had to act out and assigned one to each of us on a piece of paper in an egg with our name on it. We had to find our egg first and then we could find up to five other eggs. When we all had our eggs we took turns acting out our character and had everyone else guess who we were. It was very funny and definitely added to the afternoon's relaxed enjoyment of each other. Peter and Kim, I am sorry we missed you later in the day! The kids were so tired we left around 5:30 p.m. Finley was asleep before we hit the freeway.

Four year old theology is not only interesting but challenging. Finley and I have been having some surprisingly deep conversations about God, the idea of resurrection and death. Being at that age where death is something he is aware of now I find myself being quizzed at least once a day about what "heaven" is and "are we going to die soon?" I will write more later about some of the amazing ideas and concepts we've explored.

Wonderful Easter bags and an egg hunt at church on Sunday were the highlights of Finley's day. Evelyn even got in on the fun with some larger eggs that our friend Glenda had arranged for her. Thank you Glenda for doing such a wonderful job of putting fun Easter goodies together every year. We are so lucky to have such a great community of people who care about our kids!
