Mama? When I get a husband I'm gonna tell him how we snuggled together when I was a little girl and I'm gonna ask him if we can get a house close to you after we get married.

Easter 2012
We could not have asked for a more beautiful day to celebrate Easter. Sunny, cool breeze, high of just about 70. We had a wonderful time at church followed by some delicious pancakes at Courtney's. Easter is always such a great reminder to get some good family pictures and this year I'm just blown away by how old Adison and Cole are getting. When I look at them I feel like I can see the future a little, their faces are starting to take on that big-kid look which is both exciting and sad at the same time.
I love the pictures of the two of them. They really do love each other. They aren't mushy about it. They aren't particularly tender to each other a whole lot but they play together a lot and they laugh together a LOT. Pictures like this remind me of the deep bond they have for one another, no matter how many little disputes or spats they might have during the day. I'm so thankful for that, and so aware that it is God's goodness to me and them, because I'm simply not a good enough parent to create that. I'm enjoying every moment of this time in their lives. Young enough to still want to do things with their parents and old enough to do some really fun things like take them on trips and play games and eat at nice restaurants. Kevin and I have really enjoyed watching them take on some of the things he and I enjoy so much. Every year of parenting has its new set of challenges, but it has double that in rewards.
