Happy Easter 2013

Snow Cream, Curly Hair, and Happy Birthday!

Not too many spring breaks where we have gotten to eat snow cream, but it was thoroughly enjoyed this time around.

RuthAnne was kind enough to share her rollers with us so Grandmama rolled the girls hair.

And, the next morning we had this.

And, happy birthday to SaraBeth who turned a year old yesterday.

our SPRING break

The weather hasn't exactly cooperated with our plans this week.

But we've still had fun with our cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents.

This picture was during "rest time" one day. There hasn't been too much quiet reading going on.

It's been almost a month...

So, I would love to say that I just haven't had time to blog lately, but the truth is I just haven't taken any pictures which is proven in this post. I have 4 pictures to share from the past month; really terrible. I hope that once spring arrives with some sunshine I will be more inspired to get out the camera. The dark, dreary days just don't lend themselves to getting pictures.

Nae headed out of the country at the end of February. He went to his sister's wedding in the Philippines. While he was gone, my Mom, Sister, Carrie, and her three kids came to visit. We had a great time, but again not many pictures were taken. Carrie did get this one of us Skyping with Nae. Please do not be fooled by the apparent calm in this shot, Skyping always involves all children trying to outdo each other both in talking the loudest and also in seeing themselves in the camera. It is utter chaos.

We also got to celebrate the birthday of one of our good friends. Again this shot was taken before the chaos insued of kids hyped up on cupcakes. This was the only moment of stillness for the afternoon, but so worth it as each of my kids (except Laney who is not big enough to care) has a buddy to play with when these friends come to visit, and they all get along so well.

And here a couple shots taken after a Sunday afternoon walk/bike ride.

Okay so hopefully, the rest of March will prove to be better in the picture taking department.
