I'm PREGNANT

Besides the obvious

pregnant
can also mean

teeming with ideas

full of imagination

rich in potential

and that I am!

Ha Ha April fools!
did I get ya?!
what made me think
to announce such
a statement... these

three years ago
we were decorating
Easter egg cookies
to reveal
to celebrate
with our family
that we were
in fact, finally
pregnant

and what a memory
we created
each year now
all I can think of
is remember when...

it was such a
momentous significant
(also other definitions
of pregnant)
"pregnant" occasion
on Easter Sunday
the holiday of faith
belief in new
everlasting life... our life
we create
Our Life

An Easter Sunday craft we did after brunch at Grandma's house.

hence, I'm pregnant
always...

our holiday
started with a visit
from Papa
on Saturday

this year it was special
to see him
since he has recently
made a permanent move
back to NY from FL
welcome home Papa

Easter morning

started out sleepy

but once we did
diapers drops contact
we were down the hall
and searching

for baskets

and eggs

and toys

you might be noticing
along with the traditions
of Easter
the progression of
the patch routine
blends right into
our day
our life
always

my handsome
handsome man

fun, quick side note
currently we are out of camo
and camo trumps all patchs
on a Sunday, any Sunday
#camopatchkids on Instagram
but second choice was
simply a blue patch
to match his blue outfit
but later I realized
it was a fish, blue patch
and how symbolic
that he rock a fish patch
on Easter Sunday  :)

I love this next pic
for many many reasons
but really I love that
she is sitting in
MY highchair
of course, my mom
still has it!

they were so excited
about all things Easter
this year
such a fun age
for holiday traditions

our first attempt
at a family photo
the best of
several shots

I might have purposely dressed the whole family in blue, but I am NOT admitting it.

see what I mean
I have lots of pics
like this

their favorite spot
at Grandma's house
the window bench

the weather was fair

not very warm

but not too cold

it didn't matter though

I'm not thinking 

about the weather 

when I photograph

this sweet Azalea

in full bloom

these boots will never
get old, for me

we found a little
spring flower
sporting Easter colors

then it was off to
Nannu and Nanne's
annual Easter egg hunt

this year's attempt
at a cousin photo
someone did not want
to participate
I don't think I need to
mention any names

I try and try

to get just one
picture of them

both... looking, smiling
but that is too much
to ask for

second attempt
at a happy family photo
again... the best of several

how rock star
does my Dad look here
the kids just adore
this man

Easton thinks he is
reaching high heaven
with his tree branch
best part is
this photo comes
with a variety of
sound effects as well

we missed sitting on
the Easter Bunny's lap
well, missed might not
be the right word
if we didn't even attempt
but either way
Nannu made up for it

and finally
(I know long post
of a million pics, sorry)
after 8 long hours
of photographing
our Easter Sunday
the patch came off
and I just couldn't
resist... remember
