Although this week has been flying by, I think that your comments on my last post and a good confession with a wise priest last night has made me feel much more peaceful.   I'm still not doing much of anything, but I have Easter clothes for the children, parents who are bringing Easter dinner to our house, and the ability to make it to church for the next three days.   

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

I tried to remember what the liturgies were like last year for Holy Week, and when I couldn't recall them I realized it was because I never made it to any of them.  I was in the hospital delivering Mopsy during Holy Week last year. 

(Well, I wasn't delivering her for the whole week, Thank you God, but she was born on Spy Wednesday, so I spent Holy Week on my "hospital vacation.")

Since I'll be busy delegating house cleaning chores to the children, I thought I'd link up with {pretty, happy, funny, real} over at Like Mother, Like Daughter.  

I'll most likely be gone from the computer for the next few days (unless I can get myself together enough to schedule some auto-posts tonight?), but I will see you on the glorious other side.

New shoes for Easter.  Lots of new shoes.

{pretty}
"Eileen's Dress." 
Francie wore this dress for her first Easter, then Sally wore it, and now it's Mopsy's turn.
It was given to us by Rob's late godmother, Eileen - one of the funniest and warmest women I've ever met.
We miss her.



{real & happy}
School's out for Easter break today, so that means a little leisure time with a video. 
Leave it to Fiver to notice when I'm trying to get a candid shot.





{funny}
Poor Mopsy is a little shaggy these days.
Why do baby bangs grow three times faster than the rest of their hair?
Especially when I hate to cut baby bangs?
