Anna's #3 and Easter

We loving our new home and our new church. We have bonded with the people quicker than we could have hoped for and the Lord has been gracious is helping us to overcome some of our own insecurities and reach out to others.
Anna had a great third birthday party. We invited kids of parents that Emily had met at the Bible study, as well as our neighbors little boy. I made her a Wonder Pets cake and we simply had a great time. They all had their tricyles/hot wheels/whatever and rode circles around in the old sanctuary at the church. Anna was exhauster afterwards, but she had such a good time. She gets so worked up over the details of things. She is alot like her daddy on that one. Kate spent most of the party asleep in the car seat, oblivious to the constant bumping of scooters and running children.
We had a good visit from Emily's parents and Easter went well. I preached for the first time on Maundy Thursday. All in all I was pleased with it - especially for the first time at a new church. I have preached at several different churches, but there is something to the fact that you know that you aren't just the visiting preacher here...you have to stay around. :) I posted the audio on my personal blog for friends and family who are interested.

Here are a few pictures of the girls:

Isn't she wonderful?
