it was easter


 it's a task gathering the children

 and making them stay put

 and encouraging them to look decent

and encouraging...

 now someone's been lectured and the results aren't pretty
(but the baby sure is cute)

 they feel relieved because they think it's over

 nope

those who like posing hang around


she was determined to sit here even though her dress was caught

she had some visitors

this was before all the baskets and treats (except what they got at church) and they are exceptionally patient. i love easter. i love to sit with my kids and the litigator in the pew.  i love the hymns and the depth of spirituality that can arise from really listening. i love the treats and little surprises and i love finding new sunday clothes for each little (or bigger) one. i'm grateful for my family and for days that require me to breathe a little slower and see a little more clearly.
