When I've taken an unplanned break from blogging I never know whether to just jump back in like nothing has happened or to offer a lengthy explanation (justification?) for my absence. And then I overthink my explanation (okay, definitely a justification), and that just delays my reentry even more.
So. Hi. I'm back. I didn't mean to take an almost-two-month hiatus. In fact, in that time I started at least four different posts and never made any significant progress with any of them.
I guess I don't really need to justify why I was living my life instead of blogging about it, do I? Everything just got kind of overwhelming--imagine that! So if I'm back does that mean things are settling down? Ha. Of course not. More like I have a new writing project and looming deadlines, so I'm finally motivated enough to procrastinate (and it's a huge relief to write something I don't have to think through as intensely as a Bible study).
As the weather has been getting nicer we've been spending as much time outside as we can. John Paul is walking all over the place as of the last two weeks--just in time to play outside with his brothers. I've been doing (marginally) better on keeping up with laundry. I finally finished going through the amazing abundance of hand-me-downs we've received over the years and actually got around to redistributing the wealth among various family members and friends. (My bedroom looks so much bigger without half a dozen garbage bags full of clothes sitting in the corners. Seriously.)
There, consider yourself updated, more or less! Pictures of John Paul's birthday coming soon. In the meantime, here are some pictures of our Holy Week and Easter spent in Lincoln (not pictured, the stomach bug making its rounds Good Friday through Easter Sunday. Ugh.).

Happy Easter!!!
On this beautiful and holy Easter day we have so much to celebrate. We celebrate the rising of Christ to new life, and the hope and promise we have been given that if we die with him we shall also rise with him. Alleluia!
Almost 15 months after his birth we continue to celebrate the gift of new life we have received in Michael. He brings us so much joy (as well as opportunities to grow in patience, wisdom, etc.)! He is very much a toddler now, and looks especially grown up in his Easter suit from Grandma and Grandpa (Daddy is jealous--he wishes HE had a pinstripe suit with a vest!)
In fact, he's getting so big that he's ready to be a big brother. That's right, this Easter we are also celebrating the gift of a new baby, making his/her appearance in November. Here's our new Baby Bear at 8 weeks:
May God bless you and your family abundantly with the joy and grace of this Easter season!
Christ is risen, He is risen INDEED! Alleluia!!!
