Easter Celebration

Here we are in all of our glory on Easter afternoon (notice the heavenly rays of light shining down on us). Liliana is obviously saying the "ch" part of "cheese" as Mama Joy snaps the photo.
Sunday morning, Wade and I attended the church where I was baptized as a teenager. So many faces looked familiar, but the place seemed much smaller now that I've "grown up."
We enjoyed spending time with my mom over the weekend. Liliana played with her Grammy's toys, colored pictures, bounced around on a big orange ball and played sweet sonatas on the out-of-tune piano all weekend long.
We also had lots of time with my brother and his beautiful family. Liliana and her cousin Luke had a ball together while cousin Clayton seemed happy as a lark cruising around the house. Watching the kiddos was such a joy!
As we pulled out of my mom's driveway, I felt such sadness. Although we see my family several times a year, I wish for more. I miss them dearly, and I would love for Liliana to have close relationships with them.
Here's to family, near and far. Blessings, Ramona
