EASTER BUNNIES!

holy sh!t.
that's a lotta kids:

sooooooooooo many little bunny babies.
and it's about to be plus two next year
with the verrrrry-impending addition of a couple MORE little girls.
yep.
too much is the right amount.
i had a beautiful afternoon.
also, plot twist:
i made two bags of gluten-free panniecake mix,
for makin' into a brunchy munch-up in the late mornin',
and i fibbed about one being wheat and one being not wheat.
guess what?
at least one person totally thought they could tell the difference.
ha!
i know, i know....
i'm a tricky loki-kokopellicoyote, right?
no.
stop.
i'm not that.
but we all ate vegan gluten-free pancakes from scratch,
and that was an easter miracle for certain.
also,
i didn't tell 'em, and they aren't blog-readers,
so i'm pretty sure it's safe to say that my secret is safe, neighbors.

and in twenty four hours?
the big enticing inducement is scheduled to start.
the journey to babyville is in the home stretch.
that's somethin', huh?
the biggest kid is prepping for finals.
the next largest is coming home from a european tour today.
the littles are getting into their fresh april vacation with a midweek sister arrival,
and don't they look SO kyoot in their easter-fresh gear?
i never thought in a billion centuries that i could have such a widely diverse spectrum
of people who are all vital and important to me.
maybe that means that 43 years is how long it takes to incubate a real big heart,
with real big feelings?
beats me, like my heart beats me,
like my feelings beat me up and i beat feet to the corners
of new hampshire and new england for all these special ladies,
and this one special young man.
my heart is bursting, but not under attack,
it's just a chrizzmizz grinchy alteration in size.
bigger and better,
and twenty four hours away from meeting the next contestant on
'give albie allllll the feels'.
ha.
it's time, and that's a fact.
ready, set, GO;
never quiet, never soft.....
