My heart poured out this weekend.....
In gratitude, in thankfulness and in tremendous tenderness of spirit.
As I watched my oldest daughter and my youngest daughter together this weekend. It was if it never was ~the years between them. Eighteen to be exact. I was reminded how love knows no age. It has no address. It has no limits. It is no respecter of persons.
Love just happens.....
Love just happens.....
There isn't anything more rewarding as a parent than to watch your children love one another. Even though it isn't always like this, I continually pray for peace, love, joy and harmony over my children. I am so thankful that their hearts have been knit together- one for another.
We had such a wonderful time watching each little one with their eggs.
I relished in the moments and cherished every second .....
especially watching these chubby, little hands hunt Easter eggs for the very first time .
I have moments of this weekend permanently impressed upon my heart.
And glimpses of their childhood captured from behind my lens.
And a new sense of gratitude today........
I hope you each had a beautiful and blessed Easter weekend also! I took tons of pictures and will be posting parts two and three next.......

Absolutely wonderful. There's just something about Easter isn't there? I mean besides the obvious. Just curious.....how do you keep your kids looking so nice and clean? If my kiddos had a basket full of dyed eggs and chocolate, they would be wearing it in nothin' flat.
We did the traditional Easter egg hunt and we did a little something different with the egg hunt this year, you'll have to check out my blog to apprecaite it, it was fun.

Thank you so much. I love being behind the camera and truly feel it is a ministry tool. It is my absolute favorite thing to do, other than spending quality time with the babies. :) You are so sweet to always leave me a comment! I am trying to do better with my commenting on other blogs! Thank you so much Nancy!

There is a popular saying here in the south- "This bigger the hair, the closer to God!" since southern women LOVE big hair:) I have changed that saying a little for our family- "The bigger the hair BOW the closer to God." And would like to put it on a bumper sticker on the back of my car....:)
@Susan~
I am stopping by your blog to see what you did with your kiddies! And I have no idea how to keep kids clean! My little ones make messes and we just give them a bath every night and I do my best to keep their faces and clothes clean but they have the best time getting dirty again and I just let them:)
@ Mama Henley, @Maria, @Colleen
@Jennifer and @3 Peanuts~

@Preppy 101 ~

my oldest, Macey is very special and incredibly loving toward her younger siblings. And they absolutely ADORE her as well. It is mutual . Thankful, grateful me. I am praying that it lasts forever. I so desperately want them to be close and to love and support one another in life. Happy Easter to you and your wonderful family!!

Thank you so much sweet friend!
Yes, the egg hunt was a hoot. The babies just picked up a few eggs and then wanted to sit down and open every single one! B and BG would not stop. I barely snapped any pics of the two of them!
I hope we can do a hunt together next year. Wouldn't that be wonderful? I would just love to photograph our crew together. Love you sweet friend!
