Easter

So tired. Kai Bear still sick and on day 4 of not really eating. Here's some of our weekend...

{Doing a play with the Chapman cousins..a sort of modern day bible story. Kai was Jesus' guard and didn't have too many lines so he made some up:) I think he looks so much like his cousin Jayden who is sitting beside him.}

{Koen thought Kai was funny.}

{Koen joined in the play.}

{There was the yearly massive Easter Egg hunt at gramma and grandpa's house. I know I'm a party pooper, but I'm not really a fan. Gary would say that it's because we didn't do it as kids but I feel like it really takes away from what Easter is about. Also, the last thing we need in the house is a giant pile of candy. I know, I'm ridiculous.}

{The kids loved it. Although, Kai hasn't eaten any yet. I may have to help him out.}

{And random but I LOVE it when the boys wash the van with Gary. It means it's sunny, the boys are with Gary and my van gets clean:)}

{In other random news...we bought another 5D this weekend. Our 7D was not cutting it. Nothing beats a full frame. The 7D is now a back up. I still like the 7D, just don't love it. I don't know how Gary talks me into these things but when you have two photographers, you sort of do need ample back up equipment:) For moments that can not be re-done like births and weddings, you can't mess that up!}

{Today, we have been waiting 8 months for a baby. I guess it just means we're getting closer. No new news.}

{You can't tell, but Koen is wearing undies in these photos:) He still has a ways to go but my baby is growing up!}

{Kai's eye using a lens extender.}

Tired. So tired. The boys haven't been sleeping well and we had a wedding today. My dream is to sleep in until 8am.

{Koen's eye using one. So hard to get him to sit still:)}

Oh, I forgot to mention that I was accepted by Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep (photography provided for families of newborns that have passed away or are dying). I'm totally nervous about the emotional aspect, but, I really feel like I have a bit of a gift and I'm glad that I will be able to potentially help a family through the grieving process through photography. I'm also flattered that they think I'm `good enough'. I still have some paperwork and training to do before I'm `active'...likely in a month or so.

Hoping to spend a bit more focussed time talking to the boys about Easter Sunday tomorrow...
