There was some serious anticipation goin' on in our house tonight... There are two little girls tucked in and waiting for the Bunny to show up and leave his sweets. I have always loved Easter. Spring time and fresh starts, the first signs of better weather and the promise of things to come... Our second daughter's name means Easter - and her arrival certainly signified a new beginning for us...
As for most things, having kids has ony intensified the joy of Easter time... I have the feeling this year will be particularly wonderful as our youngest is really into the treasure hunt now :) I'm looking forward to watching them follow the trail of treats.
Our oldest was born a few days before Easter... 6 years ago. I remember it like it was yesterday... I just dug up the gift I gave her on her first Holiday... A soft & sweet little ducky that she loved so very much... It has seen better days - I won't part with it. I can remember that need to remember every little thing she did... to document.
That's part of the reason shoots like these are special. I love helping parents document their child's growth and discovery of the world. I love being part of their 'firsts'. And, I gotta say, I love spending time with the babies!!! We were so warmly received into this baby's life and into her grandparents' home. It is clear that her entire entourage is completely smitten with her... Right down to her uncle who provided the wardrobe change :) And it's easy to see why. She's just such a doll! It was so fun to watch her examine the things around her... It wasn't easy to get her to look up but I actually prefer that. I love the 'realness' of it. The intense curiosity, the examination.
I also loved the opportunity to reconnect with an old friend. So many things in life change... It's wonderful when some things don't.
I hope that today is a very special day for this beautiful baby and her parents - and I'm positive she's being spoiled rotten :)
