Easter pics

I wanted to post these pics awhile back, but I didn't want to ruin part of my mom's Mother's day present. So now that she has a copy in hand, here they are, my beautiful kids. And yes, as long as my kids will let me keep coordinating (not matching, mind you) their outfits, I will keep doing it. I know it won't last forever. We went with the pink theme this year. We've never been able to talk Nick into that one before, but he gave in when we found a tie with just an itsy bit of pink on it. I think my kids all look quite smashing.

This last one is my new favorite picture of my kids, because in a way, it includes all of them. This was the first photo shoot that Gabriel would have been in. It was so bittersweet to not have him there. Dragonflies are one of the symbols of babies gone to soon. Looking for dragonflies has become one way we remember little Gabe. On the flowerpot is a beautiful dragonfly...somehow all of my babies still made it into the picture. I absolutely love it.
