Easter Photoganza

Happy Easter!  With the kids all dressed up, I took the opportunity to snap a few (dozen) pictures.  Here are just some of my favorites.

At home before church:

Thomas and Gloria

Thomas and Daniel

How’s this for a smile?

Mommy and her grinning boys

Michael and Thomas  (They really do love each other-just not holding still and smiling for the camera)

I made Gloria some bloomers to go with that dress LOL

At church, Gloria got to go on an Easter egg hunt with the other preschoolers:

Is there one under here?

I’ll put this one in my basket.

Why is this picture so sweet?

Can you tell she was thrilled about the house?

Mommy, open it!!!

Investigating Thomas’ findings on his egg hunt

Now how does this work, Daddy?

Daniel tries an egg

You see, son, you’re supposed to open it and eat the candy inside.

Who needs candy?  These eggs taste great!

Silly baby!

Relaxing in the nursery after church

Here we all are after church-still happy, pretty and only slightly sticky!

The Evidence…

As evidence that Marge was correct when she said that “She grew up to be a beautiful lady with many talents,” when she was talking about Melissa, I wanted to share some of the reasons that I agree:

Beautiful:

And here is just a small selection of her talents:

She makes beautiful babies:

She feeds our babies:

And does countless other things for us that are her way of showing us her love.  She is very smart, very caring, and just fun to be around.

She is perfect, in my not so humble opinion…

Another “Little Helper”

I opened up my email this morning to find one entitled “My Little Helper” from my mother.  She had sent a sweet picture of her oldest daughter (that would be me) at about 20 months old.  Just a few months younger than little Gloria now.  Here is the message and picture:

Once upon a time I had a sweet little helper that was every bit as cute as your little helper.  She grew up to be a beautiful lady with many talents.  Here is what she looked like once upon a time.

Tee-hee.  I was so cute.  What happened?!
