From Our Front Porch Looking In


Aunt Lacey came to stay over Easter weekend. We were thrilled! So thrilled, I even braved my first solo trip driving to the city. I pulled over a couple of times to tell Dustin I was quitting. But, I made it and only got lost twice (okay, four times). 

Having Aunt Lacey around is our dream come true and really made us miss living so close to her in Utah. Evie was sick when she arrived, and it only took me 24 hours to be flat on my back, miserable. Sadly, Lacey caught the plague, too. Some vacation! "Come see us!" we say, "It'll be so fun!" Ha! 

But, Lacey spoiled our kids with gifts and so much attention. The girls loved the Easter Egg Hunt at our church on Saturday (along with a yummy brunch). Both girls hunted their hearts out and then Dustin, Abby, and Lacey hit the Big Apple for Macey's flower show while I worked on finals, and took an extra long nap - still fighting off a nasty bug (later turned walking pneumonia). 

Lacey came back feeling even worse, and so we decided to lay low the rest of the weekend. The Easter Bunny visited, and Abby was fasinated with an Easter lesson focused on the resurection that Dustin put together. We stopped for a second to roll a couple of eggs, rounding out our Easter 2016. 

So, so grateful for all I have, all because Jesus Christ lives again. 





^^apparently I didn't get a picture of Abby, I'm sure she was off sprinting somewhere

^^Evie and I had a play date (something I don't do nearly enough one-on-one  with Sister) at a local gym with a toddler play area. It's her heaven: being set free in a room filled with things for her to climb on. This child has aged me five years already. 

^^Abby's first book fair. Both she and I were in heaven. After she carefully chose her books (okay, I chose one and she chose one), she sighed, leaving, and said, "My grandpa will buy me the rest..." Lucky kid has an elementary school teacher, picture book loving, doting grandpa. And, she takes full advantage. 

^^Evie's feeling's about story time at the library. She totes loves it. 

^^Sunday Snuggles

^^in my final days nursing Evie, I was all sorts of nostalgic and weepy. I documented her playing with my fingers, her ritual. But, she has carried that on. She seeks out my fingers all day long to maul them to death. (comfort to both she and I)

^^A good day at the beach in March! 

^^We went to an "Easter Egg Hunt" at Stew Leonard's. Abby warmed up the the costumed people by the last stop. 

^^Seriously, Sister's favorite food 


^^Easy park days 

^^Sunday afternoon at the beach (Cove Island in Stamford)

^^I'm playgroup coordinator (and super unqualified); this week we made four-leaf clovers using marshmallows as stamps. 

^^A picture taken by Abby. But, just, all the heart eyes (getting a sick baby medicine after church)

^^All the ear infections for our poor baby (coupled with a nasty virus)

^^And then, Abby got it. Then I got it. And that's how it all started.
