easter.

i've fallen behind! pardon me for taking a whole week off posting. all sorts of things to post about-- but to start i'm going to go back a few weeks to easter weekend. mom & i headed down to the cape for my first holiday with that side of the family in over five years. we had a nice visit with everyone. mom & gran & i had a great morning on saturday doing errands around town, walking on the beach, and going out for a tasty sandwich. in the evening, the entire clan went to an art opening, had a big dinner out, and then feasted on sunday. mom & i also snuck to the beach for a quick warm & sunny walk. although easter has never been a major holiday for our family, there ended up being 18 of us there on sunday, so i really got caught up quickly on family affairs. my grandmother & fred are simply amazing and the day was lovely. it was one of the moments when i was reminded exactly why i chose to move across the country.
