Arduous April!

Easter 2019!

What a different Easter we had this year! Our first Easter in over 20 years(I think) that we haven't eaten Lebanese and been with the Kaady family! We sure missed them, but we had a great day celebrating Jesus' resurrection at home!

We were "Egged" by the Neslands! Super fun!

One of my favorite memories of growing up at Memorial Lutheran! The Easter cross! We weren't there, but loved seeing the beautiful cross and sharing this memory with the kids!
