Happy Easter

{ My nephew Jack armed for the Easter Egg Hunt, or as I call it...gladiatorial combat in the arena }

I will be honest I'm exhausted! I had a great time celebrating Easter with "the Fam" but I need a vacation from my holiday. If I close my eyes and click my heels together three times I can almost imagine myself on a beach. Almost. The sleep deprivation was worth it though because I love spending time with my 3 1/2 year old nephew Jack.  He's really funny, oddly wise, and his favorite question at the moment is Why?. We played at The Children's Museum, went on an Easter Egg Hunt at Maymont and even took a peek at some mummies at VMFA. I miss you already Jack!

{ Jack brought me a present at The Children's Museum- a bowl full of rubber sand- he was very proud of himself }

{ We had a great lunch with my best friend M and her family }

{ Looking through old photos I found what is still my favorite Easter dress ever- I was about Jack's age here }
