Easter!

Easter was a little different for us this year. My niece Kristina was baptized so we visited our former church instead of celebrating with our home church, Flipside. It was nice to see old friends, but we did miss our home!

After church we hosted about 35 people at our house for dinner. Keep in mind that my kitchen is not complete yet...I had a temporary sink, my dishwasher and the cook top in. (no oven!) Thankfully, everyone always pitches in and brings something for the meal! My cabinets are in and the counter tops should be complete today. (I'll try to put updated photos of the progression later this week.)

Anyhooo, after lunch we hid apx 100 real eggs and 40ish plastic eggs for all of the little cousins. They had a great time. What a wonderful day to celebrate...He is risen...He is risen indeed!

Superheroes!

Lizzie, Tori and cousin Nicky think they're pretty tough stuff!

So Proud!

Our niece Kristina Regier is participating in a bike ride this week with her youth group. They're riding from Santa Cruz to Morro Bay, a total of 170 miles in six days! We are so proud of her!

Kristina is a leader in her youth group, plays several sports at Edison High, she's involved with Fellowship of Christian Athletes and is known on her campus as a Christian (do you know how rare that is?) She is not afraid to speak up about her faith. She is also a fabulous babysitter. One of our kids' favorites.

We love her dearly and always miss her if we don't see her frequently.

To keep up with her trip check out the bike trip blog. Love you Tina!
