Easter 2007

A day of firsts. First No. One: Dave, Bri and kids were not among us for the traditional egg (plastic eggs with money) hunt and gathering. First No. Two: Mike has found a GREAT young lady that all agree is one of the nicest girls we've met. She was able to travel from Nevada to spend time with us all. First No. Three: All the little tykes were well-behaved and made the day very enjoyable. First No. Four (and final) baby Zach was blessed by his proud father on the very day we celebrate Christ's resurrection.

That's what its all about. Family gathering to insure each knows how special they are to one another. Individuals who see themselves reflected in the embrace of the whole family. Understanding the universality of the family as the basis of our identity. We are all individually unique within the commonality of the group. How lucky we are to know of our devine origin that ties us to each other throughout all time and eternity. And it is this day, Easter, that calls all these things to our attention.
