Do You Want Company?

Yesterday we went to my parents’ house for the annual Easter egg hunt. Every year my dad hides plastic eggs for the kids out in their back yard — 24 little eggs, and 1 big egg per kid. The little eggs have candy in them, and the big egg has money in it. The eggs […]

When I was first pregnant, and I thought about Easter, I pictured this photo of me and my dad. I envisioned adorable Easter outfits and bonnets and church and all sorts of other stuff.

A Happy Easter

By 6:15 am the Easter baskets had been pilfered. By 11 a.m. we were at Grammy and Papa’s house. By 11:30 a.m. we had found all the eggs. By 12 p.m. we had opened the eggs, sorted the eggs  and chowed on cupcakes. (Number 6 gave Number 7 a haircut last night. Do you like […]
