Easter!


Jordan celebrated his first Easter in style! While he isn't quite old enough to comprehend the real meaning and reason we celebrate Easter, he had a blast at church nonetheless. He loves playing with the other kids in the kids programming that takes place during the services. And afterward, he spent about 20 minutes with Dad just cruising up and down the hallways, peeking into every single classroom and he absolutely loved the kids playroom, with the fun music and flashing colored lights.



He also enjoyed playing with and opening his plastic Easter eggs, eating some ham, goofing around with Bailey, and hanging out with his Uncle Tim and Aunt Em. (And yes, those are bruises on Jordan's face... Now that he is walking/running, new bumps and bruises seem to appear every day.) All in all, it was a very fun Easter for all of us, but the biggest thing we celebrated this year was that 350 people said Yes! to a relationship with Christ over the course of the weekend services at Eagle Brook! The meaning of Easter - the very reason that Christ came, died, and rose again - is to restore our relationship with God, and to see so many people accept Christ's offer of freedom and forgiveness is always a thrill!

Looks like Jordan had tons of fun! Jordan looks very cute in that outfit-I can't believe that Eli wore it last year! Can't wait to see you all again soon!

Jordan - you are a stud! You look like such a big boy with your spikey hair and v-neck sweater!
