In the spirit of catching up:
Here are some Easter pictures from last year. LAST YEAR! (I am NOT pregnant again.) I already mentioned that I'm a year behind.
We hide the Easter candy all over the yard, and the kids hunt for it on Easter morning. It has become our little tradition. We have ways of making sure the kids get equal amounts (or the amount we think they should have).

Just a few pictures from this year.
Oliver LOVED finding candy, and Milo was adorable! The big brothers were great helpers.
Today I was nursing the baby before his nap, and we both fell asleep. I woke some time later, with a start, with this thought in mind: what is happening with your blog? You need to keep a history. Hmm... I've grown so far behind (I think I'm a year behind!), and I've grown more cautious over that last year about what I share...so that resulted in an unintentional lapse. I'm going to try my best to catch up our history , but it will have to be greatly truncated! No better time to start than with the most recent occurrence:

The Canemah Bluff
My heart will always be with this location. It is a park and wilderness area within our little city, and Brent found it shortly after we moved here. We have spent years hiking around this bluff and forest. I have memories here- being pregnant with Elsa, when she was still ALIVE; coming here with the kids shortly after her passing, just trying to keep it together; moving into the lovely house in the neighborhood, where we lived for 1 year; getting our family pictures done; Milo's newborn pictures; and now a spring mama-baby photo shoot. We are going to miss this place after we move away from Oregon.
It was my friend's idea to go and do this photo shoot together. We've been best friends for nearly 6 years, and our recent babies were born 1 day apart. I took pictures of her with her baby, and she took pictures of me with my baby. The Camas Lilies were in bloom, and the pictures turned out lovely:
They are all stunning in black and white too!
Now I have the tough task ahead of deciding which ones to print up!
Oh my heart!
My baby, motherhood, my Tara, my Canemah, my Oregon.
