My sister in law tells me that when I look at this photo, I should flash-forward 14 years and this will be the girls headed off to Senior and Sophmore homecoming dances. NO WAY! :)

Ballet!
Today was the final session of Elida's "pre-ballet" class.
It was her first non-parent class. The parents cannot watch the kids-UNTIL TODAY! And this cuteness is what we saw:

A glimpse at Easter's past...
Ruby's first Easter, Elida was hospitalized with Rotovirus, so we don't have a lot of photos, in fact, I can't even find any!! We made the best of it, and the Easter bunny brought toys only! Projectile vomiting of peeps would be ugly!
Elida's 2nd Easter will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart.. it was the weekend that we found out we were expecting Ruby!~ We spent the time in Phoenix with Renee and she was just eight weeks pregnant with Taran. I decided to POAS and voila! Ruby was notifying us of her presence!
Elida's first Easter... Beverly Hills, CA
Happy Happy Easter...
Well, here we are.. time for my favorite holiday again. For some reason the speckled eggs get me everytime and I end up purchasing more home decor in this season than any other. The chocolate brown and pastel combo catches my heart after a long winter.
I've been SO Blessed in the past handful of years, since knowing Jason that I've also gained a great amount of respect for the Holy week as we know it. The traditions, the history, the SIGNIFICANCE. I don't care to make the egg-connection, and I"ll do it for my kids, but the main components of Easter are so great. So very very great.
We've got several church services to attend this week.. which began last Sunday with Palm Sunday. I love the call to be there. I love the ceremoniousness of it all. As a child we never attended these week-day service, Maundy Thursday or Good Friday. Now, we always do. Now as a grown woman I can finally understand what they mean and there isn't any way I would not go! I won't get into considering how much the Lord has done for us, but... it's so much more than just a driving force to sit in a building with other Christians. THis week my heart is heavy bcs of the sacrifices that were made by one Glorious man. Jesus. And I thank my husband for leading me to knowing this. ...without him I might still be stuck in the Easter aisles of Target deciding on the egg wreath or the bunny welcome sign. Seems all too shallow now.
Happy Easter.
