April snow showers

Are bringing May flowers? Let's hope. Cross your fingers, legs, arms, etc. :)
In any event, we made it! Here's what we have to show for it!

Little Mommying her baby on Easter morning. Night night baby!

Happy Easter!


Loves playing with her cousins!

And snuggling with her uncle :)

In the evening we spent time with Aunt Lois. Little lady loved the 90 year old baby carriage.

Lunch at her big girl table

Playdoh and under the stove recovery work

Getting ready for her day. Patent leather shoes and a necklace: oh the glamour!

Handler time out! I made a barnyard spring promenade of cookies


The last gift of birthday! a tunnel! What a hit!

MOPs morning out to a gym! she loved bouncing and jumping in the foam pit

Sick day for dad meant selfies and trying on new bathing suits. Go Blue! ;)

More mommying: stroller and high heels, if that's not me, I dont know what is?! ;)

We got to take an outing to the Gardens with Jessie! So fun!


And then bc the weather was crummy, we went with Dad too!

And then when we finally got a warm day we took her cousins. Runnnnnnnn!!!!!

Morning smiles and kisses for Madge - so appreciated from the fuzzy friend.

Another handler time out. I'm plugging away with this pregnancy and feeling good!

Also, I had the chance to celebrate 'the other Betsy's' upcoming marriage. It was such a lovely morning and really caused me to pause and reflect on what a wonderful childhood I had, much in part to these sweet neighbors and friends. What are those things on our left hands?!

Back to baby. A good morning at Meijer = getting two free cookies at the bakery!

Molly loved visiting her friend Isabella and I couldnt help but notice that my baby seems to have turned into a kid. How did that happen!?

She's drinking the cereal bowl milk and placing stickers like a champ

Strutting through the neighborhood and boxing herself up

More lunch dates at the princess table :)

Little Mommy strikes again. See what we're trying to do???

Yet another time out! Peter and I took the chance to go squeeze another new nephew! Welcome Reuben

I celebrated with my dear friend Kim who's due just a few days after me! 1-2-3 what will it be!?

We rounded out April with the first ice cream cone of her own!

Annnnnd some goofing around with dressing up in mom and dad's things!

May is already keeping us on our toes! Lots to do and see!

March Madness

Spring into action! March was another busy month for us but so fun!

Shopping with mom and showing granpy the sticker spoils.

A handler time out: Inside Baby is coming along nicely too. We've had two ultrasounds to see their progress, cant wait to meet our new little one!

 
 Chick-Fil-A opened, Eliza works there, and we love it! What a great Friday night!

 Baby chix at the farm store!

This is another handler time out. Jenn and I tapped our sugar maple trees hoping for a little fun. We ended up with about 2 weeks and 10 quarts of boiled fun! Whoa! The old tree had life!


Always mussing in the water.

We finally got to meet our friend Isabella! She loved looking at her.

A spring break visit from our friend Heather included some early birthday gifts and a trip to see the butterflies!


Cleaning. The house and herself.

The Children's Museum is always a germy good time :)


Frosty Boy on opening day of course

Birthday party #1 - a cat cake smashing success!



Sit dad! She loves her dad, even using his blankie in a pinch ;)

The actual day of her birth - check out the bed head! So happy and she knew just what to do!




Friday fish fry and dual birthday party!


Shopping in the kitchen.

Once she could wear the sunglasses, I could hardly keep them off her!

Pretty girl with pretty hair. She turned two and it was decided that it was time for big girl hair.

A walk with our neighbors

Stickers!!! She loves stickers!!!!

A trip to the museum with friends was fun!

Palm Sunday and Easter were both good weekends

Quality control

Cousins came!

And it was Grandma's birthday! So we celebrated and relaxed. Make yourself comfortable why dont you?! :)

Annnnnnd with that we wrap up March! What a month - birthdays and busted brackets!
