Things that Made Me Go Hmmmm at Easter

While I generally don't expect a miracle on Easter or most days, I do appreciate a bit of serendipity when it happens. Things that make me pause, just for a moment, and say, hmmmmm. Usually, the moment is so small it can continue by unnoticed, unless, of course one is open to it. Sometimes it can become not a miracle, but perhaps miraculous, when the serendipity occurs in pairs or even more often.

This past weekend, I found myself stumbling upon bits of serendipity related to Easter. When I think of it all, I find myself wondering what it all means, if anything.

#1 Since me&t spent Easter weekend together, we brought all seven of our little ones' Easter baskets to Annapolis. As we set out the baskets Saturday night, for filling by the Bunny, we realized all of our children had the SAME baskets!!!! Target brand, wooden, cloth liner with little Easter designs..carrots, bunnies, eggs, etc. Hmmmm.

#2 On a beautiful Easter afternoon, a gaggle of me&t children decided to race across the green lawns at St. John's College. As we staked out our spot in between picnics in progress, I spied it. A brand new bunny..we happened upon the Easter bunny. Hmmmm.

#3 Emma, being a huge fan of the Madeline stories, received "Madeline at the White House" in her Easter basket. Seemed to be a good fit since the White House is pretty close to Annapolis. As Emma snuggled in her bed Easter night, we read her new book. Although the story takes place in the White House, as the title indicates, the plot is very much about Easter {of course!} Hmmmm.
