a weekend of new beginnings

It is part of our routine. He gets good and comfy in bed, and I lay in his arms as he tells me some kind of story or talks about something that makes me smile. It's his way of putting my heart and mind at ease before closing my eyes and going to bed for the night. However, on this particular night, my head was all over the place. It had been one of those days. And, as we laid in bed, he asked me one question. Do you know what the meaning of Easter is? As I shook my head no, he explained it was a holiday celebrating rebirth and new beginnings. Then in true Bryan style, he tied it back to me to help me understand it was the perfect weekend for a fresh start. And, new beginnings.

This weekend was scrumptious in all of its celebrating! A heart-to-heart with my mama. Hugs from Grandma Lindsey. Watching a miracle overcome St. Louis after some crazy weather. Taking in all the gorgeous spring colors. A family get together with delicious foods and deserts prepared by our mamas. Watching my daddy glow as he ate his favorite kind of pies. Watching Bryan's youngest cousin get confirmed. Photographing two lovely gals I adore VERY much and their VERY cute baby bellies. And toasting with sparkling grape juice Sunday evening to...new beginnings.



Happy Monday!
