Aunt Carrie's Visit

Aunt Carrie loves the beach!
Ali wanted to make sure she got to spend at least one day
on playing in the sun, sand and water...

Chillin' in her beach chair

Ali loves running around w/ shoes

Ali & Aunt Carrie match...
Isn't that a cute little dress she brought her!

She misses you Carrie... she's got you on speed dial!

Bye Bye Uncle Dru... I love you!

Thanks so much for flying down for the weekend to celebrate my 1st birthday with me!
You always make me smile, and laugh...

and you teach me lots of new things...
like how to say "airplane" and wave bye bye!

and you let me help untie your plane before you leave...

Thanks for being such a special person in my life!
I love you Uncle Dru!!!

He is Risen!

What a day to celebrate!

Jesus Christ is Lord and He has Risen Today!
God sent his son to be crucified and die on the cross
for the forgiveness of our sins.
He sent his son, Jesus Christ, to do for us what we could not do for ourselves.
He lived in our place, and he died in our place.
Now, He has risen from the dead!

With Jesus in your life, we do not have to despair. We can have HOPE!
Take up the cross and follow Him;
for only in Him can we find TRUE LIFE and never ending HOPE!
To listen to today's service - Luke 24:13-35

The service closed with the song and sign language translation of "Jesus Christ is Risen Today". It touched my heart. I could feel His presence.

Just sit back, open your heart, and listen.
