Heartbroken

Dear Camile,

I am a better person because of you. You have always been a model of how a person should be, what she should say, and how generous she should be with her time, her work, and her love. I have always looked up to you and valued your opinion, which was always spot on, whether it was what college I should go to, how to dress for a job interview, how best to prepare fish for pasta, or what to name my child. I had hoped that you could be here longer to provide the same guidance and love for my children. I will tell them about you and try my hardest to give them the same level-headed loving advice that you would give. I will miss you and love you for a very, very long time.

love,
Molly

Vamos a la Playa!

Tillie is ready for the beach but doesn't seem to know what a beach is.

Cute Coconuts

Eggstravaganza

In case you didn't get enough of Easter, here are some highlights from Tillie's weekend:

Tillie and our neighbor Salim dyed eggs with parents and grandparents.

Poppie dyes an egg in his coffee.

The hunt is on.

The children perform the ritual cleansing of the gathered eggs in the sacred Easter hut.

Grandma and Django

Matching Easter outfits:

Then we headed over to Aunt Violet and Uncle Honus' house for more hunting.

Here, have a hippo.

Cousin Raphaella and Tillie go through their loot.


Django gets an Easter basket, too.

Egg Hunt

Tillie thought it was pretty cool to eat raisins that she found in plastic eggs on the ground. But, that giant bunny was not to be trusted!
