Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter everyone! Todays entry will be short, but full of fun! Today was a great day and though I missed my family I did not miss any of the other Easter things. My Easter focused around the ressurection only and not around Easter bunnies or candy. You can find a few kids with suckers, but other than that it's not real common for kids to recieve a lot of sweets. After a 3 and 1/2 hour church service (the longest service I've ever attended!) we made our way back to the houses. Upon arrival I found out that Alyssa was delivering milk to some babies, so I tagged along. Instead of coloring with kids in peds, like I had planned to do earlier, I quickly followed Alyssa to the maternity section of the hospital. We arrived in a room with 4 mattresses spread across the floor, 5 moms and 8 babies (2 sets of twins.) Not only had I been taken to the maternity ward, but was taken to the premie section. We delivered the milk and then checked on the other babies. As Dr. Alyssa held one the mother explained that the baby had white stuff in its mouth. Alyssa showed Eva and I and said it was thrush. Before she could say anymore I responded with "Oh! She needs Nistatin! Mia takes that!" After diagnosing the baby one of the mothers handed me another baby. It was the smallest thing, I didn't hold it long because I feared I would break it with one wrong move. It was so incredibly tiny, and innocent, and sweetly asleep. It was angelic and it literally brought tears to my eyes! After I returned the baby we all filed out of the room and went to put in a perscription for Nistatin. Later in the evening all the families got together for a huge potluck with great food and some awesome worship! Then I got to call and talk to my mom! So as you can see my Easter was very meaningful and I will never forget it! Hope you all had a great Easter! He is Risen!!
