One of my favorite times of the year to have a picnic is in April.
No bugs.
It wasn't really a picnic. Lynette and Anthony were here so we gathered together to eat and play.
It does my heart good to watch the younger members of my family running and enjoying themselves. Paislee spent most of the afternoon running, her dress flying out behind her. Most of the rest were playing kickball and she thought she was playing, too.
There are a lot of photos here. I can't describe the feeling they give me. They are just photos of family enjoying themselves on a very good day, and yet it's more. It's sun and blue sky and green grass, running and cousins and dogs and play and the joy of life,
It's a picture of our life on a very good day.
It's family, and it's ours.
It was the calm before the storm.
