Easter 2014





Easter day!  This fell the day after Carla's birthday party so we were all pretty wiped out.  Two little munchkins woke up that morning with a bad case of the grumpies.  We had our Easter egg hunt first thing gorging on jellybeans and chocolate for breakfast, which looking back probably didn't help the situation.  It took over two hours to get dressed and out the door for church.  We missed the petting zoo and brunch and arrived 35 minutes late to the service so of course there were no seats left.  Frank and I stood at the back each holding a fidgety kid who fought going to the nursery.  By this point we lost count of the number of temper tantrums.  The kids were miserable and they had completely exhausted us.  All we could do was throw our hands in the air and give up.  We really tried our best but it was just not our day.  So we headed home for peanut butter sandwiches and early naps.

Here is a glimpse into the grumpiness.  I can't help but LOVE this series of pictures because it captures Carla and Joseph's relationship.  The sweetness and love they have for each other for overwhelming.  If Joseph is in distress Carla is there to comfort him.  And he simply adores her.
