Happy Easter!

Doesn't Max look adorable in his Easter outfit?? We had a great first Easter with him! He spent the morning with his Grams and Pops (who went to the super-early church service), while Jeff and I went to church service and helped in the nursery. Then we all went to lunch at my aunt and uncle's house - which was delicious! - where we spent some time with family and friends. Once we made it home, Max got to see what was in his Easter basket. It was really funny how he just started pulling eveything out by himself and examining each item, like he had done it a million times before! It blows my mind to think that 7 months ago he could not do anything, and now he is tearing through his Easter basket to see the new things he got!

My son is the most precious thing in the world to me. The fact that God sacrificed his own son on the cross to die for my sins truly overwhelms and humbles me now that I am a parent. I always understood the magnitude of what he did and that due to the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ, I will be able to live in heaven for eternity, but now that I have my own child, it reinforces the emotional sacrifice it was for God to be able to do that. He gave his only Son to die for all of us. Sinners who did not deserve it. He washed away the sins of the world so that we can live forever with Him. We truly have an Amazing God.
