You can really feel that spring is nearly here.... Easter is right around the corner, and we have the cutest little bunnies on the block right here! (Gabriel MIGHT look a little grumpy, but he's actually not. He was thinking really hard about stomping his feet to the "If you're happy and you know it" song). It's a trick I've learned to getting my littles to smile and stay put for a second.
We had the great pleasure of meeting with our friends from church--the other mamas and papas and their little people and having a fun morning of crafts, cookies and egg-hunting. I was excited to see Gabriel's enthusiasm for hunting for eggs and with Gabriel in the lead, Magdalene soon caught on. She is very perceptive and loves to do whatever her brother does. I am amazed at how fast she is learning new words and concepts every day, like "hiding" for example. And it's cute to see him look after her, finding eggs for her, unwrapping them and giving them to her too.
As the children are getting a little bit older, I think they will really start to understand some of these concepts of Easter--death, hope, renewed life. And I am thankful to be raising them in a community of loving people who share some of these same values. How fortunate we are here! Thank you for the lovely morning friends!
