Easter

Easter weekend was truly lovely.

We kicked it off with a good, old-fashioned neighborhood egg hunt. (If you consider a field full of eggs everywhere you look and a "Recycle Eggs Here" box old fashioned.)




Although some found it more exciting than others...


As has become tradition, the hunt is followed by the careful decorating of eggs--
of both the hard-boiled and sugar cookie varieties.




Easter morning brought surprises all its own.







But none better than finally being at church together, as a family, all at once. Thanking Christ for the blessing of our togetherness. We sang, we colored, I rocked a fussy baby to sleep into a heap on my lap where his moist, soft breath wrinkled my pressed, pink Easter blouse and somehow made it perfect. Yes, Easter was truly lovely.
