This is our sixth Resurrection SonDay in Bangor. One of our corp's traditions, is taking family pictures on Easter- everyone's "all spiffed up." Even those of us in our uniforms look somehow "spiffier" on Easter!We've tried a couple of different backgrounds, but we've finally settled in our office, in front of the Japanese Garden wallpaper. It's bright and gives us a colorful backdrop for documenting the annual changes in our families.
The Burr family is short a member now with Jenn in Canada- well, it has been short Jenn for the last 2 years as well! And you wouldn't believe the hassle it is to get Chris to let us take a picture of him!
One of the fun things about family pictures is that you get to watch the kids grow up. Michael Dow is one of our favorite kids in Bangor! He's always smiling, ready with a big hug and willing to help. His only "problem" is that he's a Yankees fan! {heh, heh}
Here's the huge Easter change in Michael since we came to Bangor. Unfortunately, I can't seem to retrieve my old Easter pictures from an archive disk, so those of us who know Mike, will just have to imagine how much he's grown from this year's picture and our memories (like his cool Windsor tie knot that his corps officer taught him how to tie?).
The best part, though, is that I've seen an even bigger growth in Michael spiritually. The potential I see in this young guy is awesome! Some day we'll see Michael doing great things for God.
Count on in!
Can You Hear Me?

Praise the Lord!! This is such a fun tradition! YEAH! I can't wait to get to Bangor and see all the great photo's...as well as meet Michael. Sounds like a special kid ;)
I know Michael. I however did not know he was a yankee fan(disappointed sigh). I love him anyway.
With summer approaching fast here in Vancouver, I can't help but think of Michael and his sister and cousins and family and think of good times in the swimming pool and backyard. Give that guy a hug from me please!
