I love Easter

springtime (supposedly), special treats, sunday best and knowing that "without Easter, there would be no Christmas." Wise words of Gordon B. Hinckley.

a hunting we will go

with the promise of brightly colored ovum bursting with sweets and prizes. never mind the 20 mile per hour winds and wintery temps. the little guys were undeterred in their quest, bundled in fleece and jackets, easter buckets in tow.

bunny book

we brought this home after a recent trip to the library and it instantly became a favorite. seems I know a bunny of my own much like the little bunny in this story.

36 hours in Dallas

I took a quick little trip, just little ole' me, to big ole Texas to check out a cool new car for Nissan. Details about that over here. The hotel was swanky, the meals elegant, the weather divine, and we even spent a little time at the Nasher Sculpture Center, which was really rather blissful. A few highlights:

My room, with edgy artwork, posh touches and fun details, like the little pillow on my bed. I really should get myself one of those. And of course, the chair cushion embroidered with pearls of wisdom.

Driving past some Dallas landmarks...Rangers Stadium and that den of iniquity where the Dallas Cowboys play.

Cruising in a blue convertible with Amy. My hair still hasn't recovered.

A few of my favorites from the Nasher.

lucky me

I only have a smidgen of Irish blood coursing through my veins, but we like to have a little fun whenever we can. Feeling pretty lucky to have 2 healthy handsome little men to love. They're feeling pretty lucky to have discovered a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Little do they know that they are my very own pots of gold.

springtime, if we're lucky

it's spring in most parts of the country right now. and while i've tried to embrace our lengthy bitter winter i'm just not willing to endure it any longer. There is a different sort of chill in the air that hints of life. The sun has a kinder edge to its light in recent days, and there have been reports of robin sightings right in my backyard. So, we are keeping our hopes up that winter really is on it's way out and spring is really on it's way in. Staving off the last of winter's grouchiness by making our own wearable rainbows. We made an extra one for daddy to wear on St. Patrick's day lest he be pinched.
