Today was Miss Eden's first Easter!
First of all there was the obligatory new Easter dress. Daddy had to leave early to get to the church to help set up so Eden and I were on our own. She was a little clingy this morning and would NOT let me get a good picture before we left. Here's our little princess:

We headed to church, and enjoyed an excellent Easter message by Curtis (download here - go to Worship Gatherings / Sermons) about hope - and how in our world today, hope has a connotation of uncertainty (we hope because we're not sure). But Biblical Hope, true Hope, is sure Hope. We Hope in Christ because we know He has saved us. I am really not doing it justice, but it was a really good sermon - it's still sinking into my brain. After the sermon the band totally rocked "My Redeemer Lives." It was really funky and everyone got really excited - I think Jesus must have loved it.
After church we went to J&K's for a late Easter lunch, complete with honey glazed ham, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and a summery salad. Eden hung out with John while Kel and I cooked (Bryan joined us after the second service). She was in a much better mood so she let Kel take her picture:
After lunch we all went our separate ways (E and I to our place, Bryan to the evening church service, and J&K obviously stayed home), and Eden and I took a two and a half hour nap! I dreamed about flying on a beach chair. It was one of those afternoon-nap-on-the-couch-type dreams... weird. I need Ruthless to interpret for me.
All in all it was a great Easter - complete with beautiful baby, great friends, and a celebration of our risen King!

LOVE her Easter dress! Isn't it just one of the best holidays ever?!
I'm *pretty* sure it means we should leave our responsibilities (see, e.g., husband, dog) behind and fly off - on a chair or otherwise - to a beach. Plan?
According to the professionals, "To see a chair in your dream, symbolizes your need to sit down and take time out to contemplate a situation before proceeding. Or you just need to relax. Alternatively, it indicates that your feelings or ideas are being dismissed or cast to the side." And "To see the beach in your dream, symbolizes the meeting between your two states of mind. The sand is symbolic of the rational and mental processes while the water signifies the irrational, unsteady, and emotional aspects of yourself. It is a place of transition between the physical/material and the spiritual."
Um. Yeah. How about what I said?
