Christ is Risen, indeed!

Here are a few photos from yesterday. We had a wonderful day, but now I'm exhausted. In the morning we went down and took hot cross buns and eggs to the neighbor we know best. Then we headed out to church. The day was beautiful, clear and sparkly with bits of fresh snow left: the world was rejoicing after several grey days. Church was a joyful celebration, then tea time. In the late afternoon we came home, while Will went to visit the home for the elderly/crippled/poor/former prison inmates. The day ended with another beautiful little blizzard. It was so peaceful to lie in bed and watch the snow come down!

At breakfast:

He is Risen!

I second the description of "precious" and send our appreciation and love as well. What had so captured Raia's attention in the second photo?

Heighth wise- the three are very consistent from year to year. Mark continues to tower over the over two, but that's no surprise(with his father). Is his little brother also tall?
Love to all-

Mom, there was a whole crowd standing around trying to get smiles. I don't know exactly who caught Raia's attention.

Anna, David doesn't seem to be quite so tall. He's BIG, though. He passed Raia in weight when he was three months old. . . and she had just turned 1! Right now he's just started toddling around, and he's a little shorter than Raia.
