A good friend who, when I asked her how she was doing post delivery, said,

 "I'm in love."

I could tell you her pregnancy story, but that's hers to tell.  It suffices to say that this momma knows what it is to endure to the end.  From the looks of it, her end held the sweetest little prize.  Congrats friend.  You did it!

Made these with littlest C's preschool last week.  The best part was listening to the boys try to say TER-ARR-IUM.  The other best part was watching their little wheels turning, trying to decide if rollie pollie or worm would be the first to find a home inside their jar.    

      

This is a wall in my laundry room.  The last bits and pieces of it came together yesterday.  

I smile when I look at it.  And that's saying something because I rarely smile when I walk into my laundry room.

For the little girl who never smiles for the camera and who manages to mangle every prop I give her in a matter of seconds. A little evidence that a pic doesn't have to be perfect to be....well, perfect.

(editing heavily influenced by the summer like weather we had this weekend.)

the moment right before this...he was mad at me because I told him no more Angry Birds.

the moment right after this...he walked through the mud in his brand new socks.

but this moment...it was darn near perfect.

most of my days are not so good moments, mixed with ok moments, with a few near to perfect moments thrown in here and there.

hightlights from the weekend:

an egg hunt with an unprecedented amount of hidden eggs (trust me)

easter baskets as hat wear

a Cranberries sing along that I may or may not have dreamed of performing since I was 16

(slightly off key, but with LOTS of heart I tell ya...lots of heart.)

easter bow ties

grandma T and papa J

the sweetest of sacrament meetings

a little happy easter gifting

and the ever familiar reminder that I am SO blessed.
