Easter 2009

Easter this year was a mellow affair. Bethany didn't come home from school and since we were getting ready to head down to LA to look at colleges for Alyssa the next day, we kept things low key.

My mother and I felt the need to attend church. That Lutheran thing lives deep in our bones. We have been enjoying attending St. Marks in San Francisco occasionally and decided to go to their Easter celebration.  The church was packed with over 400 people by my estimation. The service was great and the music wonderful.

We went back home to a wonderful dinner of ham, potato salad, asparagus, and lemon cheesecake for dessert. The food was great. I was worried that I would miss the noise and chaos of a full house during a holiday dinner, but the company of just David, Brooks, my mom, and Alyssa was actually wonderful.
