Hallelujah! He is Risen!!
And He is here with us everywhere, every day.

This past weekend was one I will remember for a long time. Everything just seemed to be perfect, the weather included. Paul, Agnes, and I left Friday morning to visit Paul's family for Easter. It was a wonderful few days of being outside in the sun and enjoying each other's company as we prepared our hearts and minds for Him to rise again.
The Family
I never really had my phone or other electronics (besides my camera) with me and I can't tell you enough how liberated and fresh I felt those few days of being "unplugged." And now I know I can survive without looking up the weather right when I get up in the morning, or checking my email, or facebook, or linkedin, or... you get the picture. So I will unplug more often and feel awesome about it :D

Easter was absolutely lovely. Agnes went on a good number of walks with different family members and got some rosy cheeks from the nice, warm sun. She loved to swing on the swings at the park and at Grandma and Pop's (what we call Grandpa) house. She even took an afternoon nap on the swing in their backyard.

We went to two parks in Saint Louis. At one of them, there is an indoor Carousel that Agnes rode for the first time. She loved it!
The Easter Bunny came with baskets full of sweet treats (bubbles and a book for Agnes). We skyped with her Great Grandma and Great Grandpa (from both sides of Paul's family) and they were able to see how big she's gotten from
the last time they saw her (which was Christmas).
After a big dinner and yummy treats, we said goodbye to the family and drove back home where Agnes slept the entire time. She had a busy trip!
And what a beautiful and Happy Easter it was!
