happy easter!

on this easter holiday, i am missing family and friends a lot. memories of kath and i in our easter dresses and hats, and alex in his little man suit with vest and tie, stick out strongly in my mind right now... those hats were a little ridiculous Mom :-) i remember the yellow bush/tree that was in our backyard on south second, always in bloom for easter.

this year, the skies are gray but trees and flowers are in bloom here in portland. we have a TON of tulips in our front yard, everyday another few open up. spring is definitely here, of course in PDX that means rain too. the easter bunny didn't come to our house this year, but i think he might make an appearance next year :-) i am going to cook a nice dinner tonight but i'm still trying to work out the menu.

as i write this, baby A is kicking me a lot! i think it's because he wants (me to eat) some starburst jelly beans. he is 24 weeks along now, only (give or take) 16 more to go! i can't wait to meet the little guy! if old wives tales are true, based on the heartburn, he will have a full head of hair!! we shall see...
