wedding fever.

I've never been one to have baby fever like many women seem to even after (or more so after?) having babies of their own, but every year at the start of wedding season I get awfully nostalgic for all the hustle and bustle of planning my own wedding 7 years ago (right at the dawn of digital photos, so mine were all taken on film -- someday I'll scan them and share!). I'm feeling particularly that way this year because my baby brother is tying the knot!

Aren't they cute? He and his lovely bride-to-be will be getting married this summer after dating for 9 years and our own little soon-to-be-toddler will be scooting down the aisle as their flower girl.

I loved my wedding and wouldn't have wanted it any other way. BUT...if I were getting married this summer, here's what I might do: a garden-party brunch wedding!

what's cuter than a baby in a spring dress?

Nothing!

I'm still reeling from our crazy weekend of seders, birthday parties, Easter bunnies, and a surprise visit from my sister-in-law and her husband last night (they're expecting a little boy in September! Whee!). But I did want to show you what I got in my Easter basket this year -- not as cute as that little baby playing in the grass, but it made mama happy:

(Thanks, mom -- you know the way to this girl's heart is through her shoes!)

Back tomorrow with my usual wordy Wednesday post. Happy Tuesday, all!
