Easter hits...

Our sweet sleeping easter egg.

Peek-a-boo, we see you!

The easter bunny is coming?!

What? He only comes at night? I feel robbed.

I am going to try and find him anyway.

Who cares about the easter bunny I have gifts and an easter train!

Look at these cute pj's.

and a cute top too!

Peter Rabbit peek-a-boo book. It's better than CATS, I could read it again and again.

Be careful, I ate lots of Easter candy. (Not really...)

Look at my loot!

Are they falling from the sky?

I just know there is an easter egg around here somewhere...

I just can't put my hand on it.

Oh, there it is. Happy Easter.

The girls meet again...this time with bubbles.

Sierra waiting her turn in the jump up.

Tag team chewing!

Harper loves some bubbles.

Sophia was working really hard to catch the bubble. Look at this look of pure concentration. So sweet.

Sierra was determined to get the bubbles so she got up close and personal. I think she liked them.

Spring is upon us and we have started to have some really beautiful days in Va. The best so far has been when the Haskin family decided to visit us. Picture the perfect amount of sun, breeze, birds chirping, boys playing sports and boys practicing the next theatre production outside. Laura and I sat outside while the babies napped (or not!) and Hunt and Russ took advantage of our 9 hole's in our backyard and some long overdue hoops. It was a great afternoon and cannot wait for more of these kind of days.

Drew throwing punches at his daddy! Take that!

Sharing pleasantries...not much to say yet.

Russ and Drew both struggling with some mommy-itis.

Little lady with her hands perfectly folded at her chest.

Freeze! Hands up...

Feeding mama...what a big guy!

Watson even found his favorite napping spot. What a great day!

Can you believe it...

Well, it has been 7.5 months and I looked at Harper tonight with such amazement. It is so hard to believe that this time has gone by so quickly. People tell you that it will and in the beginning you don't believe them, you are too sleep deprived or your head is still spinning that you have a new baby in your household and it is yours. I can now say it is true and they are right. There is a day when you wake up and you no longer have a baby. When you smell them and it is different than those first weeks and months and they no longer smell like a baby but a child. These are the moments that take you back and make you so glad that you are there and that they are yours.

Richmond Round Up

We recently celebrated Hunt's college reunion weekend with lots and friend and loads of activities. I am so bad about taking pictures but here are a few to share...

Always one of our favorites...Greg. He is always charming, sweet, welcoming and always a good friend.

Harper and Poppa hanging out at the Westin.

"This place is great! The beds are HEAVENLY!"

Our grumpy little man, letting the neighborhood know he has arrived.

Harper at her first Richmond 10K. We love eating greasy breakfast sandwiches and cheering everyone on.

Hunt spending time with Laura - this was her first time too! (the first time on the sideline)

Our Little Character...Pony Girl, Tarheel and Mickey Mouse Club Member

Everyday we see a new face and a new character...

When we were visiting my family Harper fell in love with a song that my mom sang..."Pony-girl". She sings it to her several times a week on the phone and it lights up her face everytime. It was only fitting that at the Haskin household, Harper fell in love-with a pony.
