Easter Loving.

So much to love. The joy of watching kids wake on Easter morning..the excitement on their faces..the Lindt with my name on it.

So much to clean up.  From bedroom to bathroom, we have chocolate where no chocolate should ever go.

So much to miss.   Not enough eggs.  Not enough squeals.  For all the happiness and mess..still not enough.

Another day where the despair, the joy, the appreciation, the wishing, the love, the disbelief, the sorrow and the happiness all blend and make for something that feels okay.  And Lord knows,  I’m unbelievably grateful for okay.

Easter love to you and yours.

    Seeing pictures of Ava always makes my heart smile from the sweetness of her face.

    Your probaley gonna kill me for saying this but the top picture reminds me of an easter version of Twilight.

  23. Lynn says:

    beautiful portrait of Miss Ivy’s hands, and of course, the sweet superprincess.
    Happy Easter to you and your family, Sheye :)

  24. Laura K says:

    Oh me that picture of Ivy, how can one not smile, it’s perfect!

    And the pictures of Ava, my heart breaks and I’m in awe every time I see a picture of her. I’m not sure if it’s the beautiful way you have captured Ava in pictures or her aura jumping out at me but the feeling stays with me long after I’ve looked at her picture. Drifting off to sleep last night with this feeling I had a vision of Ava catching that little piece of broken heart , making it bigger and giving it back to me, making me a better mommy for today! Thank you Sheye! Thank you Ava!

  25. Donna says:

    What beautiful pictures, what beautiful words! I hope I don’t offend you Sheye, it’s certainly not my intention…bc I don’t assume to know you or your beliefs – only the stories you have shared through your blog, but as I read your post today…I am reminded of what this Easter day represents for me and so many others who have lost loved ones all too soon! That me/you/everyone who believes can see those loved ones again – one day, although it may not seem soon enough now…
    But because of this day…to know that this is not the end, this world is not all there is…it gives me peace in the midst of the craziness! That is my hope and wish for you today and every day! Best wishes and God Bless!
