Today was Easter Sunday, which apparently means you have to go to early church and if you're a grown-up you have to wear a tie. There were lots of people in church this morning -- the most I've seen in my entire life. Granted that's only eleven weeks, but still, there was a big crowd. The music was very good (as usual) and so was the message (as usual). The sermon was both educational and funny. Plus our pastor always talks funny. (I think he's from another planet.)

My friend Tim was in the back row. He wants to have a baby so badly but it just hasn't happened for him yet. I kinda felt bad, being a baby myself and all, and being there in church. He waved and gave me a big giant smile though. He'll be a great dad someday -- I can just tell. My dad says he knows some very special people who wanted to have children for years and years, and then, when they least expected it, they were blessed more than they ever could have imagined. He says God must have had it all planned out for them from the day they met.

I haven't figured out who God is exactly. I keep hearing people talk about him but I've never met him. (I think he's related to my Grandpa Bare somehow.) He sure works in mysterious ways, though....

Anyway church was great and then we had lunch at that Italian place, with Grandma and Grandpa Graybill and my friend Bea. I had a bottle. Then Mommy and Daddy and I all came home and had a nice nap. (Dad calls it "a delicious siesta." I don't know why he can't just call it a nap -- he is so weird.)

Then after our "siesta" we all went to Grandma Graybill's house for a big Easter egg hunt! I had never been to Grandma's house before but it is very nice. She has the biggest TV I've ever seen in my entire life (again, not that long) and I really liked watching it. My Cousins came over too in their Easter dresses -- all three of them looked so pretty! My Aunt Nicole held me most of the afternoon, and my Cousin Hayley even held me for a little while. The girls had their big egg hunt (Uncle Richy and I just watched) and then they ate their colored eggs and jellybeans all afternoon. That looked like a recipe for a stomach ache to me -- I just had a bottle.

Tonight Mommy put some more pictures up in my online photo gallery, and I had another nap. (I think Dad was drifting off to sleep on the couch too.) But now it's past my bedtime, so good night and Happy Easter!
