  • Wow. What a weekend.

    Shan't bore y'all with everything, but hitting the highlights:

    Friday evening:  Tenebrae service, which was wonderful.  Mom and Charles both came, though separately.  The sanctuary was nearly full.

    Saturday:  Meredith's baptism, followed by a taco supper at Elaine's house, yum yum. 

    Easter:  Arrive at church (in the rain) at 7 a.m. to go over the music one more time, singing at all four services, then going to Kirstin's for the Easter celebration, including the traditional egg hunt which had to be held indoors due to the earlier storms.  Charles, Dmitry and Joe were each handed eggs and instructed to hide them;  here was one of Charles' hiding places...my purse:

    Joe and Dmitry looking at something the former had apparently captured on his Flip Video, with Bryson squeezing between them, intent on the hunt:

    Just a candid of various family members:

    Except for missing Don it was a lovely Easter, indeed. 

    After all, nothing  -  not even the loss of Don  -  can change this:

    Christ Is Risen!  Alleluia!

  • Sounds like a wonderful weekend. I wish we could have been there for it all, especially Meredith's baptism. Soon enough, we can be there for it all.

  • Thanks for the great pictures!  I had no idea the choir had to perform at so many services - did you say 4?  I would be hoarse.  I hope you only sing twice on regular Sundays.  Email me the names of the songs you sang - I went to church and sang "Christ is Risen" , "Oh happy Day" and the great Alleluia song.  I miss "Hail thee Festival Day" - I think they sing that on Ascencion Day.  I looked ahead in the hymnal and sang part of it to myself.  Then after the service, the choir stood at the front and sang "Gloria in Excelcious" (sp) I think it was - they have several really good singers, but the total is only about 20-25. 

  • The Lord is risen indeed!

    I'm glad it was such a good weekend for you and your family.  Elaine's girls are adorable.

  • Your family is such a refuge. I don't mean that it is perfect....but that there is so much going on that is really family-related....some people I know personally (like that person in the mirror) would give a great deal to be included in a family like that. Thanks be to God!

  • We are lucky to have such a large family that lives in the same area!
