Got a Light?

Dear Frankie,

Happy easter! Happy bunnies! And happy happy chocolate! We should probably warn you now that you will have to endure reflections on this exceptionally warm easter weekend each time the egg and bunny holiday rolls around again. No complaining: it beats the uphill, four miles, no shoes to school pep talk.

Last year we ate our cadbury cream eggs while strapping on boots, scraping off cars and mumbling unpleasantries under our breath. This year there are buds on the bushes, tulips in the flower beds, and we've replaced the cream eggs with mint oreo blizzards. We sat on the balcony, drank lemonade and imagined you in a sunhat at the beach with sand stuck to your chubby little fingers (you've probably noticed that we kind of like imagining you).

Here is a rundown of the weekend's other lovely adventures in pictures:

We went to a very sweet baby shower for you and your soon-to-be cousin! This is what happens when you move to the nicest island in the nicest province and become part of the most thoughtful family. Also, you now officially have more clothes than your parents.

At this shower we were treated to some classic photos of your dad.

Hold onto these as get-out-of-jail-free cards.

The next day your dad wanted to get a feel for your new baby tote.

Your fur brother wasn't as keen on this idea.

He was excited, however, to model some of your new attire.

This is his excited face.

Your other fur brother was also obliging excited.

This is because he knows that bibs precede food. He googled it.

Your dad had lots of help this weekend measuring and cutting and painting the world's most well-fastened railing. This is your dad's friend Michael. Michael is kind of new to home repair.

That's better Michael.

All topped off by delicious easter dinner and a very sweet treat from your Nanna and Granddad!
