For the second year in a row, we had Easter lunch (which turned, happily, into Easter -all afternoon - early evening) with some great friends at their house on the Chickahominy River. Since the weather around here has been Mid-July Minus the Bugs...it was a piece of paradise.
Foo went on her first Egg Hunt!
Oh the joy in discovering treats inside!
Braden and Sophia
This does not get old:
Sheer Joy
"That Rabbit" as Sophia called Debbie... who thankfully stuffed her hidden eggs with legitimate things like chocolate and jellybeans unlike me who filled eggs with chex mix.
Presiding over the picnic...
We just can't figure out how to draw her out of her shyness...
As the afternoon went on the girls discovered the river and its beach and the unmatched glory of barefeet....
As the shoes started coming off I had a sense of where we were headed...
...straight into the river in beautiful Easter dresses!
And I should have seen the writing on the wall:
Because next thing I know she's dancing naked in the river... Can you think of any truer picture of Easter Celebration? And are we not all so jealous?

Nina, we have never met, but I have been quietly obsessed with you ever since Erin directed me to your blog. This has only increased exponentially since that time. I AM OBSESSED WITH YOUR CHILDREN, they are beautiful, and your life is beautiful.
