We had a mostly lovely weekend around here. On Saturday we went to the beach and spent time with Uncle Joe and Aunt Wakita.
You can actually see me and the boys reflected in Dave's sunglasses here.
Harry and Kate were very cute together on the boat.
Captain Uncle Joe
It was a beautiful day and we had a great time. The boat motor did overheat and we were stuck drifting out in the bay for a little while. I DID panic internally just a bit. But the motor cooled down, the issue was resolved and we made it back safely. Whew.
Easter Sunday was a very nice day too. We all slept in a little bit and then checked out the Easter baskets. Dave had to help the Easter bunny this year since I could not shop. He did a great job.
Then we dined on Daddy's french toast and got ready for Mass. Of course, I had to take some photos before Mass....
When we got home, Dave did some painting in Kate's room (photos soon) and I stuffed 83 eggs for our hunt.
I love Kate Emerson's bunny bow!
We ended the day with delicious rotisserie chicken (Dave did them on the grill rotisserie), haricots verts and garlic mashed potatoes. Harry led us in a beautiful prayer. It was a lovely day.
Oh I love family days like this...I have missed my big kids all day today. I love her dress and bow but my favorite picture is her driving the boat leaning over in her cute little pink bathing suite with the tutu on the bottom...precious.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful weekend! Loved all your pictures. We were able to be out on the lake this weekend too. Happy Easter to you and your family!

Love the pictures of the egg hunt, is it just me or does Will look like he's grown a foot? He's getting so big!!
Wonderful to hear you all had such a blessed Easter :)
The boating looks so nice and relaxing... well, all except getting stuck for a little bit. So glad to hear the motor started again. Whew! I would have been panicking a bit internally, too. And I just love your family photos. You all look so beautiful and handsome! And I adore Kate's pretty Easter dress and bow.

ReplyDeletePS I agree w/Ani...Will looks all grown up in these pics!
Beautiful pics and I love your oldest sons style - a little prep with a little beach/hippie.
ReplyDeleteWOW, gorgeous photo's Kim!
ReplyDeleteI have to say your eldest boy is getting so mature, yet then I saw a picture of him holding the easter basket on his arm, gosh that is so sweet and maybe he's not that mature! :)
You make a beautiful family all decked out for Easter! Love the colours.
Jill
PS - Wasn't that fun that your hubby got to go shopping. Only I know you love shopping, I would have thought giving shopping up for lent was pure genius. :)
Great pics kim and love all the lake photos too. The kids are growing up so much-- it just amazes me!!! Glad you guys had such a great day!
ReplyDeleteChristy :)

So tell us....did the Easter Bunny do a fab job on gifts for you, as well?? Did you get the things from your list???
Norah
Norah, You are funny!!! Yes, Dave got me the water bottle (he did make a mistake in my monogram though;) and he special ordered the watchband for me. I have a VERY small wrist and they had to make an extra small one and it is on its way.
ReplyDeleteI bought myself the flip flops today;)
Looks like a wonderful weekend! It's incredible to see bathing suits and water (well, we've seen too much water in New England, but it isn't the kind you swim in...just lots and lots of flooding). We warm up so much later than you do!!!
ReplyDeleteLove Kate Emerson's dress...and bunny bow! She looks gorgeous, as usual!!!
Have a great week! Are you going shopping ;^) ????
I just love your blog. These pics are awesome! What a beautiful family!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that you and your fam' had a fabulous Easter weekend! You ALL (but especially you) deserve it! Hope you're feeling better and enjoying the return to shopping. Two points for the flip-flops. (And Dave gets a few brownie points as well.) Now when can we go get pedis together? I MISS YOU!!!

ReplyDeleteLove the glimpse of the bathing suit you were wearing on the boat! The colors are just lovely! Would you mind commenting on my blog what the brand is and/or where you can buy/order it? I'll call you when I plan on wearing it so we won't commit a faux pas and wear it on the same day! LOL

ReplyDeletelet me ask you, do you have a fab camera bag? i'm debating on the epiphanie ones....i love the brown, but not the interior shade. i love the turqoise but have heard its very bright. the red, not a fan of teh exterior.
also, do you use a wide angle lens? i'm trying to decide if i need to invest in one.
