Driveway Art

I need to purchase new chalk for our new house.

I cannot wait to break in our new driveway!

Nap hair and a post nap snack from Libby.

And this kid.  Not sure when he grew up, but here he is.

Zoo Times

In December 2016 we were gifted with a Zoo Atlanta membership!  We were finally able to cash that in during February of 2017 and have been every single month since then.  This was one of our miscellaneous Saturday excursions with Ms Mackenzie!  We got to spend extra time in the panda habitat learning about things they love.  They enjoy textures, scents, and personal touch.  

The face in a hole pictures will be the death of me.

The Combo

This year was exceptionally busy for us in the Spring.  I am grateful that all our people made time for an Easter gathering and celebration of Spencer turning 3.  Somehow those things happened in the SAME week and we got to gather and celebrate both our Risen Savior and this sassy pot.  She insisted on wearing her Elena dress for the celebration and egg hunt.

Grandma and most of her grand babies.

Clean children.

Often times I wonder how in the world I make this life work.

Our finances are messy.

Our days are busy.

We don't eat as well as we should.

The kids argue, a lot.

They run me to death.

They ask a lot of questions.

Too many.

But at the end of each day I am thankful for them.

The chaos.

This life.

No matter the crazy, they keep me grounded.

They make me feel like what I am doing matters.

I worry though...

such a sad state of personality.

I kid I kid.

Clearly we are entertained.

And we have one with food on the brain.

Beach Babes

Took a trip in April for mom and sisters only.

It was heavenly and chilly.

I lost a pair of flip flops (or rather--they were stolen)....

And found this guy.

He was cool.

Easter 2017

Ya'll, I flipping love Easter.

It is easily my favorite holiday all year long.

I love what we are celebrating and how amazing my life is because of that.

Because of Christ.

I love the colors.

Pastels and brights and all the florals.

I adore that it goes on for weeks because my kids celebrate at school too.

I love that I get to serve at church and love the babies.

There is something about giving that fills my cup...

And then there are these kids.

These crazy blessings that I have to hang out with every day.

They are hilarious to watch and enjoy on a daily basis.

I freaking love them.

She only wanted the pink and purple eggs.

She would literally RUN by every other color...
