The Easter Blues




I love celebrating the holiday that our Lord Jesus Christ rose from the grave! It such an awesome day, and an amazing reason to celebrate! That is why i feel a tad bit guilty about the sadness of this day for me! I got to spend the weekend with my WONDERFUL family, and it painfully reminded me of how I DO NOT get to see them enough! Living in the "big town" has forced me to see them less frequently than Im used to, and not nearly enough as I'd like! It was the first Easter we have EVER hunted egss in the rain! The kids were wearing their raincoats, and rainboots, and although there were a TON of eggs in the yard they were VERY skeptical of running out into the pouring rain to get them! I cracked up all day at my little Brookie. She, being the kind hearted sweetie she is, WOULD NOT eat the boiled eggs we dyed. She kept them under a pillow so they would hatch. She was convinced she would have a basketful of chicks in a matter of days!

THE BABY




So, i told you all that 'my baby' was 'different". To prove this, she wanted a duck cake for her birthday...to be more specific, a duck cake that is pink with polka dots! After searching the world over, I FOUND IT! Its super cute, and we had-what my six year old calls-the BEST birthday EVER! I really stressed over the thought of 'my baby' turning 3, and feared I might have a nervous breakdown! It seems like yesterday she needed me for EVERYTHING, and today she dressed herself in a church dress and rain boots!




But back to the party....it was an amazing day! My entire family spent the day at the park! What a perfect gift! I watched the man of my dreams fly a kite with his little princess, throw a football to his prodigy, and blow bubbles with the birthday girl! The more I watch him....the more i fall in love!
