Easter

Today was Abby's first Easter. We were able to spend the weekend with Matthew's two younger sisters, and it was such a blessing. I know Abigail enjoyed having her aunts here to celebrate with her.

We woke up in the morning (Abby Ren woke both daddy and I up at 5:45) and cuddled in bed for a while. Mostly because Cara and Amy were sleeping on the couches in the living room... but it was still nice. Then we made coffee and cinnamon rolls, showered, and got all dressed up for church. Abby "opened" her Easter baskets (there was one from mommy and daddy, and another from grandma and grandpa Collins). She really liked all the snacks!

Then it was off to church. I really enjoyed it. I always do. Our pastor is so honest and down-to-earth. You really feel like he's just another guy in the world; similar struggles, similar walk, that sort of thing. A lot of people gave their life to Christ. It was great to see.

Other than that we hung out at the house for a little bit... Abby took a long nap this afternoon, and then we went for a nice walk around the park. It was sunny and warm and breezy. Abigail loved it. She's just like her dad; always enjoys being outdoors. She really likes sitting in her stroller too (since she's big enough to be in it without her carseat).

I am just reminded of how blessed I am. A great, loving husband. A beautiful, happy daughter. A giving, sacrificing, loving, perfect Savior. Who not only died for my sins, but beat death and is victorious over all sin. What an amazing life I lead!
