Are you there Spring?

This is normally my favorite time of year--the green grass, getting outside again and Easter--I love it all! This year, we keep getting teaser days where we play hard outside, only to have another round of rain and we are back inside for days...it's the pits! Couple that with what seems to be never-ending rounds of feeling crummy, but not crummy enough to get on any good meds and I'm in a bit of a funk. We did manage to have a wonderful Easter--celebrated with 4 generations a fact that still amazes me when it happens. The bunny left the girls a scavenger hunt to lead them to a MONSTER basket of goodies and they loved the never-ending treats over the course of the day. They did another egg hunt at a local country club, but once they gathered a few told me that they would 'leave the rest for the other kids'. A thoughtful gesture illustrating just how quickly they are growing up!

As for the rest of Spring, this week brings us another recital, so we will hope to avoid any incidents similar to last year.We are also gardening for the first time, so I'll blog about that as we progress through the season. Lastly, we will be attending a princess party to watch the Royal Wedding this week! Lots to do, but must get healthy first!

Sisters!

Addy, looking so grown up!

Outside of church--she kept checking herself out in all the mirrors we saw that day! I think she liked the princess look!

First time back to this park this season--no slide too big--totally fearless with a sister by their side!

Spring has Sprung!

I know I'll probably regret saying this in a couple months when it is 100 degrees and I'm as big as a hot air balloon, but I'm so thankful spring has sprung in Indiana. The babies are happier, and since they are happier, I am happier. The weather was beginning to get depressing and all the maternity clothes I've bought are spring/summer, so I was having a wardrobe crisis on a daily basis.

This is setting up to be an exciting week. Thursday is our next doctor's appointment, so if all goes well, we should be able to post boys, girls or one of each by the end of the week! For those of you who know how much of a planner I am, this is a huge milestone! Once we get by this, we'll be able to paint the nursery, pick out names and register--all very exciting. If you want to take a guess as to what they are, leave a comment...

I attended my first pre-natal yoga class with Megan Cahill last week. To re-phrase, it was actually my first yoga class ever (sorry Mike) apart from Jenny's weird DVD's in grad school. It was fun, I was able to get a little bit of a self-esteem booster as I think I was one of the smallest in the class (probably the least far along, but whatever, it was a good feeling). I'm pretty sure most of the pregnant women in Hamilton County were there and that felt weird, however after an hour of stretches & relaxation, Thursday night was the first night I didn't wake up with horrendous back pain, so maybe there is something to this...I'll keep you posted.
