Home for a VERY Happy Easter

He is risen! Comments are open! Alleluia!

(What? Did I screw up the acclamation?)

We returned yesterday afternoon from an absolutely lovely couple days in North Dakota. Grandma and Grandpa met Baby Francis for the first time, I got to see three of my four beautiful sisters, and Cate, Felicity & I took over 200 photos.

LOVE having these photos. They are the link to our past and our future.

Meanwhile, I’ve got a house that’s strewn with Easter grass and children who are sleeping off yesterday’s sugar-coated, video-gaming excess. (Can I just say, it feels SO good to not be policing those Lenten penances any longer?! So not my cup of tea coffee, and yet, so necessary with this crew.)

I’m hosting an Usbourne book party on Friday night and Little Flowers on Saturday morning. (Would you like to come to the book party, by the way? Shoot me an email! I’d love to have you!) There’s choir & piano on Wednesday & an AHG leaders’ meeting on Thursday & a chubby baby in need of cuddling.

(As opposed to, say, a chubby husband.)

(He is not chubby but does enjoy an occasional cuddle.)

All that to say, I’ll be back when I can. He is risen! Alleluia!

Happy FIFTY days of Easter!

    Happy Eastertide. Hold your hubby extra tight. I lost mine this past week to cancer. I say that not to bring anyone down, but to encourage us all to appreciate what we have.

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. ♥
