Happy Easter!

This week at our house things mostly feel REAL!  A cold has stricken the entire clan and it is COLD outdoors too!  It's supposed to be our Spring Break.  Hmmmm......oh yeah,  Mama had a milestone birthday too.

PRETTY

Many moons ago, during college, I spent a semester in Austria.  I was blessed in so many ways that Spring but one outstanding memory was the Palm Sunday weekend spent with a family from Slovakia.  The Grandmother gifted me with her homemade husk figures.  I received a hand painted ostrich egg (since broken by one admiring toddler) and a corn husk nativity (packed away for Advent).

Each Easter season they are lovingly displayed.  

HAPPY

My family treated me to a very special birthday Easter Monday.



My husband surprised me with these beauties!

My sister gifted me from afar with this gorgeous and delicious treat!

Cheesecake surrounded by my precious gifts.  Blackboard tells all!

FUNNY

We have baby earthworms hatching in our kitchen. 

Not appetizing but fascinating. 

Aren't they cute???

REAL

Baby Christopher received his first boo boo, is teething and an ooey gooey mess with his first full blown cold.

Yesterday I woke up to no diapers for the newly turned 3 year old!

Sigh...I've been thinking maybe it's time.

Well there's never a convenient time to potty train, so let's give it a whirl.



Reading this book over and over in the bathroom.
