... When No One Else is Watching

A Favorite

One of my favorite pictures of Hadleigh. I love the happiness in her face!

No time, no time

Do you ever feel like you are so busy and there simply isn't enough time in the day to blog? That's how I feel right now... and it's not going to get any better in June because that month is CRAZY!!! Seriously, I need 34 hours in the day, 24 hours just isn't cutting it.

Five Years

Rob and I celebrated our five year wedding anniversary on April 26th and to celebrate, we left the kids with Grandma and drove as quickly as we could away from our house so that we couldn't be reeled back in. Where did we go, you ask? Well, we went to one of our favorite places on the planet... Napa Valley. Actually, to be more precise we decided to take in Sonoma this go 'round.

As many of our friends know, we love our wine and the opportunity to go do wine tastings along with food and wine pairings is too much for us to resist when it's within a twelve hour drive. We packed a lot into the four days we had to ourselves and it was exactly what parents to two children, three years of age and under, needed. It's wonderful how invigorated a person can feel to take on the challenges of any day when they're allowed a couple days to decompress. And decompress we did... but we were so happy to come home to our girls!

Happy to be hitting the road!

Homecoming!

I love holidays... if only for the dress purchasing!

Don't get me wrong, I love holidays for the true meaning of them but I also love dressing the girls up as well.  Here are a few pictures of the girls in their Easter dresses. Avery is in that mode of fighting picture taking while Hadleigh smiles so widely she looks like there is a hanger in her mouth. Smiles or not, they're my greatest gifts.
