We started out with snow. It soon melted although we saw flakes come and go all weekend.
We ventured to the zoo, despite Dan’s deep wish to avoid the zoo on weekends and holidays. It was lovely. The threatening snow scared off the crowds, there was added Easter fun, and newly hatched butterflies. We came home with happy children and Easter eggs.
Dinner was made early in the day and waited in the oven while we took in the zoo sights. A kitchen cleaned spic and span by hubby before we left the house. Friends for dinner. Friends who are family. A surprise and very welcome addition at the table (in the shape of friend, not food). Peach pie from freezer to oven, dripping with the promise of summer.
A day of spring cleaning, from top to (almost) bottom, all hands on deck. The reward of a favourite dinner out egged us on. The impromptu park visit was a nice bonus.
A baby growing so fast. Too fast. Attacking crawling and tongue rolling with great zeal.
Late night knitting, adding beaks and wings, dreaming, and entertained.
Easter morning, sunny skies, blessings in abundance, joyful celebrations. An easter egg hunt, playing with friends, stolen moments with a book, tackling the leftover cleaning jobs, three girls/one hairbrush. Local ham, scalloped potatoes, and steamed broccoli, cooked by the man and shared with my aunt who joined our table. A plate passed over the fence to a neighbour.
And, maybe, more peach pie.
Peaceful, beautiful, perfect, blessed.
So good. So full.

Wishing you all beautiful beginning to your week!
How wonderful Rachel. I can not believe how much your children have grown this past year; they are all so beautiful and I can just imagine the sounds in your home. I just came in from spraying the peach trees and then I read about you eating peach pie!
Oh, I wanted to thank you for the bunny nugget link, I made a little family for Emerson’s basket and she loves them.

And yes, our babies grow up too quickly!!!

Oh those knit birdies are cute! I did some little crochet ones that were such fun. Sounds like a fabulous weekend my friend!

We also had snow here, but thankfully it is almost melted! I do not doubt that you had a wonderful Easter and your photos prove it. Wishing you a good start of this week!

absolutely delightful photos, they make me want to pic up my camera more often, far too many instagram photos taken in the last weeks…. miss that depth of field! i have the same Willow Tree sculpture of the couple with the baby in my bedroom!! I’m now thinking of getting a sibling themed one… have a lovely week!
Oh, that sounds like such a perfect Easter. Except for the baby growing too fast. They have a tendency to do that, I hear. 😉
What a treat to see your Easter pics of those cute chicks!! How we miss them!!
Sounds like just what you needed in terms of a weekend. That butterfly photo is beautiful as is your daughter’s braid.
