I've uploaded some pictures from all the Easter feastivities. The ones with Sydney in her yellow rain coat were taken Sat at Bronco Park in Broomfield near where we used to live. The local realtor in the area puts on an epic Easter egg hunt with 6000 eggs all containing a little piece of candy! They basically coat the ground with eggs and then let the kids go nuts. Luckily there are three groups: 0-2, 3-6, 7-9 so Sydney had a chance in the 0-2 group. Other pictures are from Sunday brunch at the Potter's house with the Olsons. This picture was taken before church Sunday while Sydney still had her hair done. I was at church from 7:15 to 11:15 doing my choir duties which I thought was long until I heard the pastor was there from 5 until 12:30. We had four services: 6, 8, 9:30, & 11 and the 9:40 service had people in folding chairs all down the hallway. It's just too bad that so many people think the only church they need is to show up on Christmas and Easter and put $5 in the offering plate. Here's hoping a few liked the service enough to come back this Sunday. Amen.

Sydney Swimming Lessons
Sydney started swimming lessons on Monday at the Westminster Rec Center. So I (Jason) took her in the Men's locker room and got both our suits on, showered, then got in the pool. Then we see the instructor come over and say "Let's get started!" That's when I looked around and noticed I was the only adult in the pool. Apparently this was an instructor kid class and not a parent involved class. Melissa neglected to tell me that (she didn't know) so I felt pretty cool sitting in a chair next to the pool in my suit with the other parents in their street clothes. Sydney was fine without me or Melissa and didn't even make eye contact with us the entire class. It was a little weird for us to see her out there all by herself because this was the first thing she's been in that we haven't also participated in. It's almost like a date for Melissa and I as sad as that sounds. Hopefully this teaches Sydney a little respect for the water so she doesn't just walk off the steps into our local pool into 3 feet of water.
Bryce on Oxygen
Bryce got out of the hospital Sunday afternoon looking like this picture. They sent us home on an oxygen tank which is hooked up to a tube in his nose. Then Monday the oxygen guy came over and gave us our own portable oxygen concentrator which produces oxygen from the air. He also gave us some small tanks of oxygen if we want to take Bryce out. We saw the doctor on Monday and he thought Bryce was doing better. We see him again on Thursday and hopefully we'll be off the oxygen at that appointment. Bryce still has a bad cough but is eating well and sleeping pretty well. He's fussy and wants to be held all the time but we can deal with that.
