EASTER 2014

TODAY WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY.  THE BOYS WOKE UP AND FOUND THEIR EASTER BASKETS THAT THE BUNNY LEFT BEHIND.  SO BREAKFAST CONSISTED OF CHOCOLATE BUNNIES AND KIT KATS :)  THEN WE WENT TO CHURCH AND THE BOYS WERE DRESSED IN THEIR EASTER OUTFITS, THAT THEY WILL PROBABLY ONLY WEAR ONCE...AFTER CHURCH IT WAS OFF TO AUNT JENNI'S FOR EASTER BRUNCH, AN EGG HUNT, AND THE ANNUAL EASTER PINATA.  AS THE BOYS GET OLDER, THE HOLIDAY EXPECTATIONS CHANGE.  EACH NEW HOLIDAY THE BOYS BECOME MORE AND MORE AWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING.  AND IT'S BITTERSWEET.  BECAUSE I KNOW THAT SOON, IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE, THE MAGIC WILL BE GONE.  AND SO WILL MY BABIES.  SOMETIMES IT IS SO HARD FOR  ME TO ENJOY THE PRESENT WHEN I MOURN THE PAST AND FEAR THE FUTURE.  YET IN THAT SAME BREATH I NEVER PICTURED MYSELF WITH THREE YEAR OLD LITTLE BOYS, I NEVER IMAGINED MYSELF A MOTHER TO ANYTHING OTHER THAN A BABY.  HOW WOULD I LOVE A TODDLER?  A LITTLE BOY?  BUT LOVE HAS NO PREJUDICE.  LOVE IS NOT RESTRICTED BY AGE.  LOVE RISES TO EVERY OCCASION.  LOVE MULTIPLIES.
HAPPY EASTER! HE IS RISEN!
