Easter!

The weather has been so beautiful here. I can't help but be glad I don't live in New Hampshire anymore. We can spend so much more time outside in the south.
We had an Easter egg hunt with the Hitchcock's and the Smith's. This is the first year Sophia was really excited about Easter. She knew what to expect and was serious about finding eggs.


Mya figured it out quickly!
We spent Easter with the Dowling's down on Pine Mountain. Hannah, Marmee and the girls decorated eggs.

Mya was not too pleased when I took her basket away.

A Simple Blog

Had I been asked 7 years ago where I saw my life going, I probably would have said something like "I will be living abroad" or "I'll still be in college, hopefully getting my master's degree." A stay-at-home mom was certainly not a profession I would have identified with. I don't think I even knew what that was. But I have been given the opportunity to spend my entire day with the people I love most in the world. After going through a minor identity crisis about my choice of career, I have chosen to embrace it and, dare I say, even enjoy it.
I wanted to start a blog so friends and family can share the ups-and-downs of life with my kids. Especially for my New Hampshire family (and my mom) who does not get to see us often.
Below are some recent pictures of the kids my sister in law, Lisa, took.
