Easter blessings




We welcomed Easter week with a ton of snow. Yep, a ton.


But it was still spring inside!


We were busy getting ready for Mr. Easter Bunny. Stuffing eggs and


Baking. Finley showed Madeline the proper way to hold a whisk! Annie just observed.


Papa Joe started the week in DC...talk about a HUMONGOUS hotel room!!!


He hit a great Farmers Market in DuPont Circle. I am still jealous!


He had a great visit with Alex and Ruri


Cole was the man about town, again.
Meanwhile, back in Jacksonville..


Henry was adorable


And madder than a wet hen when his parents duck taped his diaper on. You see, he has a slight issue..he hates wearing a wet diaper, but prefers using his bedside table as opposed to the toilet...if you get my drift.
And my sweet Finley??? Well, she was exhibiting her artistic nature, and her love for me by....


Drawing on "Mimi's bed" in her bedroom.....


I think she is fabulous!


I especially like the portrait she drew of me, on her bedroom wall. Look how thin I am!! LOVE that girl!!
