There Will be Mud



I love Easter. I especially love it when it falls in late April, because I love celebrating the resurrection of Jesus against the backdrop of nature reawakening from its winter sleep. Also, it means the girls won't freeze in their cute Easter dresses, which I realize is NOT what Easter is about, but you have to admit, is a nice bonus.

This year, after several weeks of beautiful weather, Easter fell in the middle of a monsoon. Oh how I wish I were exaggerating when I tell you that, but I'm not. Well, it's possible that the amount of rain we had over the last week doesn't quite reach monsoon status, but it must be close.

After church, we headed to Grandma Becky's house for lunch. We got lots of play time with one of our favorite cousins, Samuel. Isn't he the cutest?


And we had an indoor egg hunt.






Eventually, the indoor hunt extended onto the front porch.


And that's when things started to get messy. Literally.






It seems no child can resist the pull of muddy grass and puddle-filled sidewalks. At least no child of mine.

I'm liking the frequency of your posts these days. I know it is not because you have extra time on your hands. Hope you stay on high ground!
