Easter Flashback!


It's time for an Easter Flashback -- to four years ago -- oh my time flies! Maddy was only 4 years old -- she looks so little and Philip and Connor look so young, don't they!

Well, really -- they still are young! :) Me, not so much! ;)




I remember that year because it was just before Easter that I found out that I needed to have surgery to repair my leaky mitral valve (heart) -- yikes! Although I wouldn't admit it, I was a bit worried. As you have probably figured out, I came through with flying colors!

Good news -- I just read that chocolate is good for your heart! Hope you all have lots of yummy chocolate eggs and bunnies!

Happy Easter!!

Love your flash back photos! I'm so glad to hear about the chocolate... my house it totally addicted to any type. It's very dangerous.... I hope the Easter bunny isn't too generous because the adult kids seem to delve into it way too much!

Happy Easter to you and yours!

I always love flashback photos. You have some great looking kids.

I am glad you came through your surgery! Mine will be a piece of cake compared to what you had to do. I'm sure it won't feel like a piece of cake for a day or two though. :)
Thanks for sharing with me about your surgery.

Do have a great Easter with your family! Let there be chocolate!

Beautiful family! I love seeing 'flashback' photos ... and I didn't realize you had a Connor too (my middle son is Connor)! And, I think I mentioned before, we have 2 westie boys!! Just wish I had a sweet, little girl like Maddy ;)
happy to hear your heart is healthy and yes, dark chocolate (and red wine!) is good for you!
