4/23/11 - Easter Fun and a little Rain

My kids had a blast with their first cousins during their Easter Egg Hunt here at my Moms House. :) The rain let up at the perfect time for us to let them do it outside. My sisters and I hid their eggs in the backyard and all the while they were inside chanting "Egg Hunt, Egg Hunt!!" They ate TONS of candy and food and now they're all playing together in the giant toy room that they cry to come to when we're home. I just can't believe how fast they are all growing - especially my own. They are getting SO big that it hurts sometimes. :( I LOVE seeing them laugh, yell, talk, play and even cry with the other kids...but I absolutely hate the fact that I won't be able to shield them from the world all the time. I want nothing more than to make sure nothing ever hurts or discourages them. To always be the one they turn to when they need someone to talk to. Hold them when they're scared or unsure of themselves. This would be ideal, but unrealistic, I know. My greatest fears and accomplishments lie within my children. They are my Heart and Soul, and I love them with eveything I am. :)
