Another Easter has come and gone-- this year's was exceptionally cold! The week was filled with many fun activities, and the kids were precious. Luke really got into the egg hunting this year! Caroline had fun watching. I'll remember making cookies with Luke and watching him decorate with the icing and sprinkles; Luke and Caroline in their sweet Easter outfits; Luke's excitement when he found his basket Easter morning; Caroline toddling around the church gym at the egg hunt there, trying to steal eggs out of others' baskets; seeing Scott and the kids on the front row at church Easter morning, watching Mommy and the praise team practice.... We are so blessed!

The Easter service at Otter Creek this year was overwhelming and powerful. What a day to celebrate the new beginnings that Jesus' resurrection brings to all of us. We heard testimonies from several who had known such tragedy in life-- both physical, emotional, and spiritual. It was so inspiring! It reminded me of how much He has done in my life, and I felt so thankful.


Our Alive Forever time of worship last night was also incredible! The music was so meaningful and fun! The crowd was great! There was a tangible spirit of worship present. What a blessing to be a part of that! Brandon did a great job! I feel so blessed to be a part of a church that allows us to worship with such freedom.

So-- now, the next thing on the Westerman calendar of events is Disney World!! We leave next Wednesday. Luke is so excited!
