Easter 2014

Our Easter weekend was packed with candy, food, family, and fun. The weather was absolutely beautiful. I can't remember the last time we had such a sunny and warm Easter. Despite the pollen raining down on us we spent a ton of time outside. The beautiful weather Easter morning was such a good reminder of the happiness and joy Easter brings. We enjoyed a beautiful mass and lunch before saying goodbye to Nonna and Grandpa Geordie.

He went straight for the goldfish in his basket…right after chucking the stuffed bunny!

This latest round of teething has been tough!

Grandpa Geordie and Nonna

I don't think we managed one photo of Will in his Easter outfit without a toy in his hand! :)

Easter Egg Hunt

This year for Easter, Nonna and Grandpa Geordie came to visit. Nonna and I put together an egg hunt for Will. Of course, the first egg he found and opened was full of jelly beans! From then on he had jelly bean slobber running down his white shirt…real life. He had a blast finding the eggs!

29

I recently celebrated my 29th birthday. I had planned to take Will to Gibson's for donuts in the morning, and then we were going to go to Mellow Mushroom for dinner. That morning Matt had to get to work early for a meeting so I didn't really get to see him. He called me a few minutes before we were going to leave for donuts and said there was a flower delivery, and I needed to go open the door. When I opened the door I found him standing there with balloons, flowers, and donuts. Not only did he not have an early morning meeting, but he did not have to go to work either because he took the day off! We enjoyed our donuts and opened presents. 

Then we got ready and headed to the Children's Museum because it was really cold. Will had so much fun!

Later that day I found out that we were no longer going to Mellow Mushroom, because Matt had booked a babysitter and made reservations at one of our favorite restaurants! Our dinner was a great end to a fabulous day! My guys really do spoil me! Here's to the last year in my twenties...

 I still don't know why we're orange! Sorry about all of the iPhone pics!

A Painter

Yesterday Will and I were working on an Easter craft. Our painting sessions don't normally last very long because like everything else the paint/paintbrush usually ends up in Will's mouth. Yesterday was different though. He had so much fun painting, and I loved every second of watching him. So much so that I had to run downstairs to grab the camera! Naturally as soon as I held up the camera to take a picture the paintbrush went straight into his mouth. Baby steps…

I love to do handprint painting. I just never want to forget those chubby little hands. So you can imagine how quickly I melted into a puddle on the floor when Will looked at his hand, painted it, and stamped it onto his paper. I don't think I will ever forget that! Such a sweet little moment. 

Will and Amelia

In March we got to go back to Greenville and spend time with the family again! This time Aunt Melanie and cousin Amelia were there too!! Will and Amelia still aren't very sure of each other. Will woke Amelia up from a few naps. Amelia got him back and woke him up once. She looked quite scared whenever he tried to snuggle with her or get in between us if I was holding her. He even bopped her on the head a few times (sorry Aunt Melanie!). I'd say he's doing well getting ready for baby sister!! Haha! Of course, we were too busy living to take a lot of pictures of the two of them…plus we had to protect Amelia. This is definitely a favorite though!

Ya…that pretty much sums up their time together!!

Check out Will and Amelia's first meet and greet here. Ahhh, cousin love!! 

Spring

Spring has finally arrived!! It is so nice to shed our jackets and spend all of our time outside. Will is suffering from some pretty bad allergies, but he would still prefer to be outside than inside! We spend most of our days at the zoo, my big backyard, the park, or wandering around our yard.
