Easter 09

Easter was a very special event for our family this year. We celebrated it with Pam, Jud and the kids, as well as extended Rutland family as they came to Pleasant Valley South to celebrate Julia's baptism! To know Christ as your personal savior is such a wonderful gift from God, but to have our first grandchild experience her baptism on the date we celebrated Christ's resurrection was extremely special! Also, Pam was a soloist at the worship service, which made the day even more special. Having our entire family worship together with all of Jud's family only added to the significance of the day! Amy, Luke, Matt and Charli came along and it was such a good day! After church service, we all went to dinner together, and then back to Pam and Jud's house for an Easter egg hunt. Julia, Sam, Charli and Annika had so much fun finding and opening eggs. Julia found the most, and ended up with lots of money! It was a beautiful afternoon, and we sat outside while the kids played and it was such a wonderful day!
