Happy Easter!

He is risen! Alleluia!

This photo was taken by my friend Bearing’s husband.
Thank you, Mark!

This is once again the post-vigil picture and I had to work really, really hard to get it. I think it might be a teenager thing, and I think (possibly) that I don’t care. I think that I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t sweetly request demand these annual photos.

And if I didn’t demand them, we wouldn’t have them.

Period.

Also? George looks exactly the same as he did last year. Dazed. Confused. Incredulous. Did he really just sit through a 2 1/2 Mass? Yes, Virginia, he did.

We thanked by taking him to Perkins afterward.

Whereupon he drank a whole Coke and came back to life.

Happy Easter, everyone! Happy Easter! Happy Easter!

(Forgive me. It’s just that I’ve waited 40 days to say that.)

Happy Easter!!!

    What a great-looking family! It's pretty funny to see the height differences between this photo and last years – certain kids clearly hit major growth spurts!

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
