Easter

Last year, Madeline was little more than a cuddly blob on Easter. Most of our visit to the Englands' house was spent tending to the baby, who was less than a month old. This year was a vastly different story.

As is her wont, Madeline spent most of the time speed-walking about, with no real destination. She happily transversed the yard while everyone else was searching for eggs. She didn't care about finding any treats - she ran past the most obvious eggs (see the photo below), even kicking some out of her way rather than stop to pick them up - but she clearly enjoyed watching all the big people run around and laugh.

She also got an Easter basket full of goodies from Grandma Vera, and she got to wear her Easter dress and her stylish, reticulated coat (courtesy of Aunt Hannah).
