Easter Dreams

I love Easter. I do. Growing up my Mom always made it really special with intricate riddles to find our chocolate bunny. While my kids aren't quite at the riddle stage yet, they sure looked cute! We had a great day of egg hunting, eating yummy treats, playing games and just being together. The best part about Easter I think is that no matter what is going on in your life ( the good, the bad, the ugly), HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL. It's something that we all need. I am so grateful for that hope, for that faith in my life.

Here is my wish for you this Easter Season: that you keep dreaming, believing and celebrating the eternal life that has been given to you.

Prima Ballerina

Here is Miss Jordyn at her first dance recital! It was so classic...and she looked adorable!

Let this remind you....

that although the weather may be a balmy 70 degrees today...we are expecting SNOW tomorrow! Looks like both Braden and Marinn are learning to dribble! Brady on 'his' court and Marinn on her chin!

Dear Nani and Steve,

We had sooooo much fun with you both last week. We know that you are going to be GREAT parents because Brady and Marinn just adore you guys( Marinny shows her love in a different sort of way!). Miss you already. XOXO

Toddler FOR SALE

This what happens a little boy decides to pull EVERYTHING out of his drawers instead of taking a nap. I'll admit, I was furious...I just took the picture to remind myself that this would be funny later. It hasn't been long enough yet.

Each Life That Touches Ours For Good

Marinn and I are back from a whirlwind trip to Maine. My beloved Nana finally passed after a 20 year plus battle with Parkinson's. While I will miss this SASSY, competitive, compassionate lady, I am mostly relieved for her. She courageously lived with this disease without complaining about it. Now she is dancing her way through heaven pain free. I am so grateful to everyone who made this last minute trip possible...Luke this especially means you! Kim took one for the team and was super dad to Brady while I was gone. It had been quite a number of years since all of my brothers and I were able to get together and it was so fun.
Marinn was able to hang out with our newest nephew Andrew(the happiest, chill baby ever!).
And The grandparents had their fill of the grand babies!

Brother and Sister

I decided to capture one of my favorite things about having children...seeing them interact with each other. It's always humorous to see Brady "play" with Marinn but now she is definitely reacting to it(...and not always positively!)it's so fun. I am looking forward to many more of these moments!
