The Mayer Family

We spent Easter day a little differently this year, away from family. After church in the morning, and Chinese for lunch, we had a surprise Easter egg hunt for Evan and Ellie with a treasure hunt at the end.
Easter morning…

The hunt…

We watched The Passion movie on Good Friday (Kevin and I). We were so deeply touched by the incredible pain that Jesus went through for every person. During Jesus’ suffering, they showed flashbacks of his life and it was so powerful to hear the words of truth that he spoke. His words contain so much power for then, and for today. It’s so amazing to me when I read the Bible and can feel God speaking to me through those ancient words…they can feel so new for today. I love that.

In current news of our lives, we’ve decided to send Evan to a local school, starting Monday! This will give him a head-start on Spanish before school next year. He is getting pretty excited, although a little apprehensive. We visited the school (Ave Maria) for the second time today (in addition to 2 others) and when we met his teacher and saw his classroom that sealed the deal. We were really impressed with her, and are excited for Evan to start. If you think of him (and us), please pray for a good adjustment for him, and that it wouldn’t be too intimidating not understanding everything at first.

In closing, here are Evan & Miguel playing with cars. They still play together almost every day, and are great buddies.
