easter : holiday weekend


A perfect weekend day spent with family, warm enough for light jackets and egg hunting in Great Grandma's backyard.  Spring is on it's way here and we are all breathing a little easier.  I feel so blessed for moments like these that we all get to spend together - I couldn't be more grateful that I live just hours away from the most important people in the world to me. (With the exception of my other sister who moved out to sunny California).  A trip may be on order soon!

I sincerely hope your Easter weekend was warm, bright and filled with family.

    so gorgeous kate, the smiles are infectious! I am so jealous of your close proximity to your family, we miss so much being states apart. and I love seeing something new every time I stop in - new header.. new font.. new colours.. new profile pic.. :) x

      I have a very (very) bad habit of changing things around all the time... I'm grateful you don't mind ;) x

    So glad you guys had a wonderful Easter! These pictures are beautiful and Sofia's smile is just too sweet! It's so nice to be so close to family, it was really hard on me when we lived in Seattle away from all my family.

    So lovely you spent the day with family! My parents were in another state (spending Easter with my sister and her family this year) so it was a bit lonely for us, but still lovely nonetheless. Is that your sister? She has such an infectious smile! x

From the beginning, this pregnancy seemed so much the same, yet so distinctly different all at once. I didn't get sick, I wasn't too turned away by my favorite foods, I had occasional heartburn here and there and overall, was able to relax and enjoy the experience.  What was strange was how differently I was carrying - having been told more times than I could count that I had looked as if I had "swallowed a basketball".  I think I was persuaded a few times in my head that maybe this was  different, maybe it really was a baby boy.  Yet still, in my heart I had an overwhelming intuition I would be holding another little girl in my arms, someone so very similar to her sister yet so distinctly different all at once. My little may flower. Saturday night, the air was warm and sticky.  Sofia, Erick and I read stories by a big window fan in her room trying to distract ourselves from the heat in our upstairs apartment. ...
