8 Hours!

She did it! Avery slept from 9 to 5 last night and Mommy and Daddy couldn't be happier! Also, I realize that the name of the blog needs to be changed. Maybe after a few more nights of sleep. :)

I love...

Words cannot describe how much I love this baby. I love the way she nuzzles her warm fuzzy little head into my neck when I lay her on my chest. I love the way she makes little fists next to her face while she is eating. I adore the way she pokes her neck forward like a little turtle, arches her back, sticks her lower lip out, and stretches her arms above her head when she wakes up. I love how she stares at me when I carry her around the house, even if I'm not looking back.

Easter

We had a nice Easter. We went to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch and had an egg hunt for the kids when we returned home. The kids looked so cute in their little Easter outfits. Even Avery had a little pink dress on! The only thing I failed to do was to get a family picture. One of these days I will! Allie went through two dresses in case you were wondering.

Brambleton Easter Egg Hunt

Last weekend, our neighborhood hosted an Easter Egg hunt. My Mom's cousin Carla was visiting so she was able to go to it with us. It was so nice to see her and catch up. We arrived at the hunt right at 10:00 when it was supposed to start but it was already in progress and by the time we got there, there were no more eggs! The kids were so sad but one of the people who helped to put on the event saw their empty baskets and gave them each a few extras. They also had some bounce houses and a petting zoo and the Easter Bunny. It was freezing like it is every year but overall the kids had a great time. James and Carla pushed the stroller around with Avery while I supervised the big kids at all of the activities.
