We had such a fun Easter. Isaiah went crazy for the Easter Egg Hunt while his Nana and Poppa were here. The next weekend (Easter Sunday) his Mema and Pop came to visit. I had a lot of fun putting together an Easter Basket for both boys, and I even made a special bunny cake which deserves its own blog post.
On Easter Sunday, Ezra was baptized. This was a very special day for us as infant baptism is very meaningful to us. This is the time when we recognize that God is doing a work in Ezra's heart even now, and we are trusting God to draw Ezra to himself starting at even this very young age. We are emphasizing the work of God in salvation rather than the work of the individual by choosing to have our children baptized as infants. (That is a little bit of theology for you.)
My parents have been visiting all week, giving me some extra (very needed) time to do some schoolwork.
This weekend D. and I are in Jackson so I can present a paper at the Eudora Welty Centennial Conference. I got the chance to visit her house today for the first time. It was really neat to see where she lived for 76 years. My paper presentation is tomorrow (Saturday) morning.
That's all for now. Pictures will come later. I promise.
