Happy Easter!


This week seemed to go by in a flash and I made a stitchery but it still needs to be finished. I did spend time finishing my new garden, and planting some seeds, so more time spent outside. Easter is another bittersweet holiday,  remembering the moments with my kids, but making new memories with the boys.

I tended to spoil the kids on the holidays, but the joy on their faces when they came downstairs, was worth it.


And speaking of the boys. Today mom and dad needed to get out for Easter shopping and dropped the boys out. I really wanted to go to the beach before the rains came, so we took the boys. The problem was, the temperatures dropped when we hit the beach and it was windy. Alex kept saying cold and wanted to snuggle in Grandpa's arms, so he went back in the car while Nick and I hunted for awhile. It was the perfect time with the tide going out and lots of rock piles from the storm, but we took what we could find, quickly and headed back to the car.


After a rest and nap for Alex, we headed up to their house and made a stop at a playground on the way. It wasn't crowed and just the right size for the boys. Nick always has to try out everything and he loves to climb.


Alex was content to swing in the big swing and on the regular seat swing, he loved going up high, he seems fearless and it is wonderful to see him smiling and having fun.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and a blessed Easter.

Isn't it so much fun with the grandkids? I love being able to take mine to the park, but the weather here in Michigan, hasn't been too good the past few days...lots of wind and rain! I hope you have a wonderful Easter, Deb! Ours will be a quiet one this year...take care!

Such beautiful boys....glad you were able to spend some quality time with them...and their trips to the beach with you will be forever beautiful memories etched in their minds forever. Easter has been bittersweet for me since my early teens (14 to be exact) as my father passed away on Easter morning. Still very difficult to smell an Easter Lilly.... ~Robin~
