aMAYzing!!!

When I stop to reflect, it really was an amazing month, and we have much to be thankful for. 
A lot of growing and developing took place for all three!

Finally managed to get all three of them in their (clean) shirts and snap a photo! just in the nick of time before Tad outgrew his!

I feel like this counts as a preschool project. We hosted baby birds on our front door, checked them daily and were so sad (and confused) when they left the nest.

Happy Birthday to our #1 Eliza!

Happy happy boy!

Tulip Time

Handler time out! finally a perfect rosette bundt :)

Finished up Embrace for the year!

After nap play time :)

Happy Mother's Day!

Gabe went from a diaper wearing boy to a pretty much potty trained man. 
Day one brought the essentials: favorite beverage, bare buns, and a fun activity to pass the time :)

It's a joy to celebrate with others isnt it?!

Dis my mom's bear

I can hardly stand that she's not a Cubbie anymore! How on earth!?

Taddy Bear just keeps pluggin' away at life! 3 Months down!

Outtakes!

Three on a couch :)

Add this to the file of 'They have no idea how good they have it'


Juuuuuuust stop!

Marta really had to twist our arms to come visit at work...

Taddy got a lovie of his own and he is definitely in lovie!

Please sing along with me: SCHOOL'S OUT FOR THE SUMMER!!!! We made it! A-Z

Summer celebration with friends! Pool Party!


Handler time out: Yo! delicious chicken comin' right up! and the breadcubes below are outta this world!

Just being the best baby among babies!

We all have our gifts...



Handler time out! A few of my first crops :)

Happy Memorial Day weekend! What a great time with friends and family and remembering the sacrifice that so many have made!


And now it's June
How time flies when you're livin' life!

March Madness

Well here we are on April who even knows and I'm just getting around to posting! It's been quite a month! I hope you're all well and feeling fine. I'm happy to report we are all back up to snuff, we had some sort of nasty something or other before being sick was a thing, then the whole THING and so now we're looking forward to what's in store these coming months 
- it's sure to be good.
But without further adieu, March was quite a month for us!

 Sunday Funday!

Their besties were home from college! Gabe and Eliza have an uncanny knack for matching at church and I have no idea what's happening there with Molly 😂

Our Sunday night routine, dinner and a movie in the living room :)

As I said, her bestie was home from college so off she went to CFA for breakfast Monday morning!

 


And then to the Gardens bc it's butterfly season!



 Sometimes they play SO sweet!

 Oh what joy! a photo op at swim lessons!

It's beginning to look like spring! Outside! Every last one of you! (including the cat)


 A really good weekend - Hippos, Huff Park, Naps and friends


I caught a thief green handed!

 Another morning at the Gardens with our friends!


Checking on our gardens. Those little bulbs we tucked under the dirt are popping out to say Hello!

Spending every spare moment in her day coloring in a new magic ink book!

And then she was four! And we partied!!!

 Partied with Rynie and Sam at Blandford Nature



 Partied with the Taylors at Chik-Fil-A which included a FROZEN CAKE!!!!!!!

Partied at home :)

 Partied with our other March birthday friends

Partied with Grammy and Grandpy Wise and then our friends came for cake!



 And speaking of cake! It was a three tiered funfetti TRIUMPH! Honestly, it was so good :)

Playing with all her fabulous gifts!!!

And then it all hit the fan so to speak so we just continued on with our life except no outings.

True confessions: what I was doing during online Bible study!

Madge's MeToo movement. Packing! 

Two days before we were to head out, we cancelled our flights and decided to drive, it was a long haul but worth the trip! It actually made things easier that we couldnt linger in restaurants or stops. Just in and out and DON'T TOUCH! Oh and there was no one on the roads...


We got there just in time for a swim and dinner! Yum!

Breakfast on the patio!

 Evening fishing if I can just get him to stop drinking the fountain!







Why yes, the call button in the elevator does work... 😲

 The lay of our land, my kingdom of isolation!


 Shark! Swimming among the docks. People wonder why I dont swim in the ocean when we go...🙅


 Morning swim time

 Alllllll the babies tucked in

Vacation is for ice cream!

 Fishing on the pier - sorry fish!



Handler time out! Key Lime Pie!

Digging in the landscaping! He would have stayed here all day!



 Pool babies. So much pool time!


Mama and babe.

Evening walks to the fountain!


 Pushing the buttons for the gate was a thrill every time!

Illegal play in the closed park!


Pool transit



 Sporting their Keys shirts from Grandma :)

Beach babies too


Oh and we went too!!!! 😜


 If there's a cupboard to go through, he's your man :)

Afternoon swimming was a daily highlight!


We watched this bug on the wall for 3 days, he finally got away, to where? We'll never know 🐛

Fishing by the docks, everybody catches one! 🐟🐠🐡


 But like all good times, they must come to an end. :(

But not without visiting our friends!!!!!!! A welcome respite from a long day on the road!



It's been a quick start to April in these slow days!
