Easter Weekend

Easter consisted of...

A last minute project...

One for flowers, one for bows

Quality time with family...

Abigail and Jaxon shower Lola with lots of attention and kisses

Easter Sunday lunch with our loves who didn't look at the camera in ANY shot

The newest mommy-and-daddy-to-be (again) YES! A new niece or nephew!

The girls with their great grandma, my girls are so fortunate to have their grandmothers and a great grandmother!

Family time always results in everyone's favorite game of "Pass the Baby"

Mila, belly, and her first pair of shoes!

Unfortunately the weekend not only ended way too soon, a big hail storm hit which slowed down our trip back home.

Visibility was bad...

but we worked as a team and after a few hesitations, prayer and just going for it, we made it into the clear and back home...

And of course then we had to deal with this almost immediately after...

Poor Mila had a swollen eye and left side - it scared me more than anything and although she'd force a smile through her discomfort, I cried and cried. This has been an overwhelming time of year for me, lots going on, but all of that seem to disappear when I saw how miserable she was. Turns out she had an allergic reaction to a bug bite, quite possibility a mosquito but all is well now!

You know, lately all I hear are complaints. It may be the time of year, and some people just may really be miserable. Our life isn't perfect, nor is it always easy, but I've learned, if we don't appreciate and boast of the blessings God has granted us, we don't give Him his due credit. Holidays can bring out the worst, even the holiest of holidays - but if we lift our families up, and boast of the goodness in our lives and not the negative, then the sacrifice will not be in vain.

Be blessed!
