Easter

So much to post, so little time. I'm sitting at my computer in complete denial that Spring Break is over. It was a blissful week - spending every single moment of it with my two little buddies. I have a lot of photos to post and that will have to come another day - because whether I like it or not, I'll have a classroom full of fifth graders waiting for some grand instruction in less than 12 hours and I better figure out what I'm going to do with them.

So, for now, here are a few photos from today. The kids had so much fun dressing up and going to church in their Easter best.

Warning: Mushy mommy comment about this final photo of Isaac.

Toward the end of my pregnancy with Isaac, I had a very distinct dream in which I saw a young man with super white-blonde hair, clean cut, dressed in a crisp white shirt and tie. I could sense the strength of his character and even feel a bit of his personality in that brief glimpse. No words were spoken, nothing really happened, but somehow, I just knew he was my son. When Ben and I were looking through these photos tonight, we came across this one and my heart skipped a beat. I made Ben go back and enlarge it and told him: "Wow. That's the boy from my dream." Although he's only two and hasn't grown up quite yet - he looks exactly like the boy I saw 3 years ago. How grateful I am to be the one who gets to raise this little boy.
