AE | The Weekend Lens

What a lovely weekend Ali, thank you for sharing it with us. We had a great one too, especially Sat. it was sunny and 75 finally!! Of course Sunday was cool and wet all day but it was worth it for the great Sat. we spent outdoors. I can't even pick a favorite picture out of these, they all are. I love love Anna's little outfits and hats, so precious.

Aw...how sweet!

I love reading about your everydayordinarywonderful life! I have a very unconventional, crazy (but wonderful life) however I miss when my children were small and life had a cadence similar to your own. You never fail to put some joy in my world. Thank you!

Looks like you had a great weekend Ali! I LOVE the new light. I spotted it an was admiring it even BEFORE I read your caption. Looks great in that spot! Also - that is a pretty cool dish for coloring eggs. So much better than individual bowls or MUGS, like we use!

My daughter is grown and on her own. But I was thrilled that my husband of 45 years colored eggs with me. He was surprisingly patient and creative. You are NEVER too old....

Looks like an amazing weekend

great weekend recap...i completely forgot about coloring eggs! {our daughter is out of town this year...in portland!} hmmm...i have one more day of "weekend", maybe i'll do this today? happy monday! :)

No egg coloring for us this year, and I missed it! Glad you shared yours with us.

I am so glad my kids weren't the only ones wearing their Christmas PJ's on Easter. LOL

Remembering. . .how much I love your simple, thoughtful blog posts. Simply heartwarming. Love it! :)

Wonderful to be able to see everyday things through an artist's eye - and to see the new young artist with her coloured eggs. Every Blessing

You are such an inspiration! I LOVE that last picture of Chris and Anna. We don't get to see too much of him.

Thank you for sharing so much of your life with us. I really love reading your blog!

What great pictures! TFS.

So beautiful and thankful. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing! I lived in Eugene for 10 years and moved away almost 10 years ago....and I so loved Saturday Market! Cute photos!

I am so grateful for having shared family moments simialar to these this weekend. Amazing how a great weekend gives you energy for the week's work ahead!

Hi Ali this is a rather stupid question but I have to ask it and who better to ask then someone who does it. Why do you colour eggs for Easter? what I mean is what is the significance of coloured eggs and what do you do with them once easter is over? I gather they are hard boiled and then coloured in dye but are they used then for an easter hunt? Sorry for being so direct and questioning but I have never been involved in this for easter and your photos of the event are always so inviting. I would love to try this with my daughter but need to know why it is done rather then just that it looks like fun. Does this make sense? I hope so.... Thanks and I hope you had a fab Easter.

OMG...I am in love with Anna. She is SOOOOO cute. You take awesome pictures. I love the "sharing of the Easter Basket." Anna is lucky to have such a sweet big brother. These kids are SO lucky to have such a good Momma to. Preserving these awesome pictures and scrapbooks. Thanks so much, just purly enjoyed.

How much a little child grows in two years!
