oh my... it's been a while!

I've been absent from this blog for probably a million reasons....

but here I am, and glad to be back!

I have a big thank you to Stephanie who has enabled all future blog posts by getting my a new battery charger for my camera... who knew that would be such a pain to find!

Thanks Steph!

So here we are again... back to the farm... back and forth to the Cities...

Thinking the whole entire time...

we are SO BLESSED.

Here is the first thing we do when we get to the Tigan house...

cousin hug. nothing better. It's a good way to start a visit...

because it isn't always possible at the end...

the best part is that they are ALWAYS happy to see each other.

I was excited to get to spend Easter with the family.

We had a really good time and the colors of those eggs were amazing!

I loved the walk out of the church part... so many of my own memories

wrapped up in that sidewalk between the church and our house just a few blocks up.

It made me really happy to see David and my Mom holding hands and walking together.

It was the first beautiful day in what seemed like weeks! everyone was happy...

David even found some eggs!

And has fallen in love with the slide...

I love this kid... in his Easter finery...

We'll be back soon with some spring pictures of our yard

and David doing other ridiculously cute things...
