Some of these girly goings-on are at their peak around Easter and whenever we start to see the "popcorn popping." But Ben is sweet, kind, and has learned to roll with the waves of emotion (something he will have to keep doing as they get older...you think it's bad now? [insert a small mischeivous laugh]).
We had a wonderful Easter. And to be honest, we didn't do much out of the ordinary, but that is what I love about this holiday. It is magnificent because of its perfect message. Knowing that Jesus Christ is the son of God and that he lives now, has made all of my joys meaningful.
I grow more impressed and humbled with every reading of the story of Christ's resurrection and triumph over death. My eternal family is possible because of Him. All good things are possible because of Him. And life is a good thing. The best.
This Easter I saw that life should be handled like the eggs my children opened this year; with excitement, wonder, and anticipation for what lies inside each day. All of our "life eggs" may hold different things, but we can joy in those differences and hold them up for everyone to see. And all who love us can joy with us at what we may have found along the way.
Christ made it possible to open our future with joy and hope. But it must be opened one day at a time. And I love watching my little girls and my sweet husband open their days one at a time; just like I love to watch them open their Easter eggs one at a time, and find something to cherish inside.
And, yes, at times we do cherish candy. A lot. Chocolate for Brooklyn, anything pink for Scout, and anything that doesn't stink for Boston.
I am grateful for the Easter message. It is filled with peace and a sense of all things starting new, and receiving life again. It is the message of the Son of God.
We hope you had a great Easter.
I am going to state the obvious and say that these pictures are blurry. I'm sorry. But you have learned to deal with all my other posts with similar pictures, so this is nothing new.
