easter 2012.

This was our Easter-- 
we wore our Easter best...
we painted eggs with tole paint...
we dyed eggs with onions and spinach (mixed with green food coloring) and beets...
we found Easter eggs and bubbles...
we ate (just a little) candy...

we did a condensed, child-friendly Christian Passover Sedar...
we ate good food with lots of friends.
i love being a mother.

Easter was good.
Life is good.
Hope you had a lovely weekend!
{looking at this picture of my family i just had the odd feeling that i was missing some...
i counted twice and then laughed.  all there, but not quite.  yup, i just know i'm not done yet.}

  1. ok girl, that's twice you've made the comment of "we're not done yet". anything you need to tell me??? :)

    your girls are SOOO BIG! especially Leah! Every time I see her I'm shocked at how grown up she looks! :)

  2. No, I'm not pregnant... but feeling that familiar tug. Can I tell you how odd it feels to be overwhelmed and yearning at the same time? I was naive to the cost of another baby when I first started out. Not just financially, physically, emotionally... Now I make my decisions knowing full well the cost and the great gift another child brings. This is what i am meant to do- i'm scared and excited. (and older now so it could be years till I have an announcement to share... I LOVE God's timing.). Oh my, I really do tell all on this blog here.

  3. If anyone could have another one and still give enough to love to every one it is you, Jen. Your family is adorable- we got that same little pink dress from Target for our Lily as your Lily is wearing :) I am glad that you all had a nice Easter.

  4. Do you get that question a lot? "So do you think you'll have anymore?" I get it all the time, from friends and perfect strangers. I wish I could think of something clever to say. ;) I honestly wonder why strangers would really care.. oh well.

    A beautiful family!

  5. Beautiful day -- your children are so lucky to have you. But I swear I looked at that picture and well, are you SURE there aren't TWO missing? Nine is great!
