Spring Updates

It's been awhile since I've posted so I thought I should update!

Luke got his first haircut back in February. He was not a fan!! 

I went to Wrightsville Beach for Melanie's bachelorette. It was a fun girls weekend, and nice break away. 

I got a dslr camera! I have wanted one for forever. I remember being pregnant with Chloe and wanting one, but knowing we would be going to one income and feeling like I couldn't justify spending that much on a camera. 

It's been so much fun to learn how to shoot in manual mode. There is this creative part of me that I feel like I haven't tapped into in such a long time. It's been so refreshing to learn something new. 

I helped to host a bridal shower for Melanie. 

I ran the Monument Avenue 10k earlier this month. Back in January I decided I needed a goal to get back into running. I thought a 10k would be a good distance, since not too long. But y'all, it was so much harder than I thought it would be! Finding time to run with two littles is no joke! But, I managed to get back up to 6 miles again. 

Of course my phone died right after the race so this was the only pic I got!

We did a neighborhood egg hunt and a school egg hunt.

This past weekend me and Clarke left the kids with my mom and went to Charlottesville. We celebrated our 8th anniversary! 

We started with lunch at a cute taco place, Brazos Tacos. Then we went to Bold Rock. 

We sat and enjoyed our cider in the sunshine. We got so lucky with a beautiful day. There was a huge hill and I thought "I don't have to worry about one of my children falling down that hill!!!" It was so nice to just sit!! 

We have been enjoying spring and the warmer weather. Yay for pretty flowers!

Well, that was a long post, I guess that's what happens when you don't blog as much as you wish you could!!

April Catch Up

Where has this month gone? Thought I'd do a quick catch up post as we approach May.

Earlier this month Clarke went to the daddy breakfast at Chloe's school. Her teacher sent me this adorable picture.

The house we are buying in 2 weeks (eekk!) got a brand new roof, super exciting I know, but really it's a huge answered prayer. 

I've been bringing the kids over to our new neighborhood to walk around the lake or play on the playground since it's been so nice out. I can't wait to add the pool to the mix!

Saturday we decided to go to the Richmond zoo since it's one of the last free Saturdays we have before we close on the house. Chloe loved seeing all the animals, of course she said the chickens were her favorite. 

The merry go round was also a favorite!

Sunday we went to a friend's birthday party, with horse rides. I was so proud of Chloe wanting to get on the big horse and ride. 

Then today Chloe had her first gymnastics class!!

I was totally that mom standing there taking a ton of pictures, but it made me so happy to see her doing gymnastics! She was adorable, and I loved watching her try new things. She said she wanted to go back, and that she liked it!

2 weeks till we close on the house!!

so much to celebrate!

Luke got to celebrate his first St. Patrick's day and Easter recently. 

We dyed our Easter eggs before, Chloe loved it. I actually got good pictures of the two of them, on both holidays, which is so rare.

We had fun opening up Easter baskets before church.

That weekend one of my best friends got married. We had the best time celebrating, Chloe got to be the flower girl too, she did a great job. 

 Emily was a beautiful bride!!!!

It was such a beautiful wedding, so happy we got to be apart of it. 

Spring!!

We have been enjoying some nice spring weather here lately...

Baby Luke is growing like a weed...

And doing well at tummy time!

Chloe celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday at school with green eggs and ham. 

Chloe is loving her new little brother. Although she doesn't quite understand that he is only a baby and not able to play yet. She loves trying. 

House hunt is officially on! Hoping the right house comes on the market soon.
