Happy Easter

Easter egg hunts in the rain, the bunny coming to hide baskets brimming with jelly beans and Peeps, ham, solemn Good Friday mass, dressing up in uncomfortable clothes (nylons?!?...ughhh), coloring eggs with vinegar solutions...just some of the magical fun this time of year for us. The boys have been enjoying the festivities and even left carrots out for the Easter bunny. I love doing things for them that bring so much excitement and joy. I can feel my heart expand when it happens. So much grace and love this year at Easter. Thank you God.

It's not that I wanted to let go. It's that it was too painful to hold on anymore. The hands heal but the hole just gets bigger.

Tidbits...

Emilio helping me Spring clean. He actually did a really good job. He's somewhat of a perfectionist. 
After a two day meditation retreat I watch Santiago with awe. Here he is seeing a pineapple for the first time. Totally in the present moment. No thinking, comparing or liking or disliking. Just experiencing. Beautiful. Life is pure joy this way. 
The boys spent a morning writing a list of items and measuring them. Emilio made the list. So did I and the couch. FYI the couch won. 
Trying to move mountains during a Sunday hike. Ignacio and I can do anything together. 
It doesn't get much better than this. A snuggle morning in bed with these guys! Angel was on a business trip so we just laid low and stayed in our jammies until late in the morning;)
