Even the cold, wet, grey start to Easter morning couldn’t wipe the smiles off the kids’ faces when they discovered their Easter baskets. Mama and Papa had already been a little generous with the candy this year, and when the grandparents arrived with even more chocolates, their little baskets overfloweth.

Today was a perfect spring day. Cloudless skies, warm sunshine and just the right weather to be outside in shirt sleeves. We took the opportunity to make the most of it — all morning playing outside, lunch on the terrace, a quick afternoon siesta, then back outside to enjoy spring sunshine.

Days like these are rare. Best to enjoy them while we can.
