After the kids woke up way earlier than usual, ingested an unauthorized quantity of candy, went to church (today was not a good day to be a Primary teacher!) and came home (still bouncing off the walls) I forced/bribed/suggested that they should come outside for some Easter pictures. We do this every year and it is a lot of fun to compare the pictures with previous years. The children do not share my enthusiasm for this tradition. When I loaded these onto the computer I was taken aback by how much they have grown and changed in the past year. I notice it most in the oldest and youngest, who seem to have become much more grown-up and poised versions of themselves. My family is beautiful, in my humble and unbiased opinion. But WOW are they ever growing fast. I also look at the pictures and feel like they aren't *quite* right. Little Sister should be in them too, and next year she WILL be! As I was calmly (ha!) negotiating with Her Highness this morning to get her hair into an acceptable style, I realized that soon I will have two little girls to get ready. I cannot wait! Apparently I was sorely mistaken in thinking that bedhead is NOT the perfect hairdo for Sunday morning. Thank you, Princess, for straightening that out for me.
On a completely different topic, I am so blessed to have the technology that allows me to listen to and watch General Conference while I prepare Easter dinner this evening. We were traveling last weekend and missed all of conference. I was so grateful to find the entire conference already online in video and audio formats.

What cutie pies! I watched my neighbor's kids do their egg hunt, bitter sweet really.
I can't wait to see next years pictures with two princess'!
I think Maddie would disagree with the 'bad day to be a primary teacher' part! She ADORES you. And how is it that it takes a pictures on your blog for me to discover how tall Wyatt has gotten? Good job getting them photographed. We usually do that too, but somehow this year, the kids (or having to get to church WAY to early) won that battle...
a pictures?
um..."too" early
bad day for typos--i can't let them sit :)
