Day at the park

Getting creative; who needs toys?!

Trying new things!

Having Fun!

We seem to be having these few gorgeous days sandwiched between colder ones. I've been taking Ayla outside on the warmer ones to let her test her new found walking skills. She has a hard time making her way over the rougher surfaces but loves trying! I think I have has much fun as she does....I love being a mommy ;)

One of those days

I saw this today and thought it was appropriate for the mood I'm in....

Today's Agenda:

1. Get Up
2. Survive
3. Go To Bed

Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed the day :)

We went up to see my family in Massachusetts for an easter egg hunt which was a lot of fun. Ayla found a couple of eggs and was quite content with them. She tried her first bits of candy and LOVED it, of course what girl doesn't like chocolate?! We also were able to meet the newest addition to the family, Chloe (my cousin Jasons baby girl) who was absolutely adorable! It's crazy to see a whole new generation of babies together :)

On the way home we stopped and visited Gabe. I've been picking up a lot of little things to bring to his site, which is already overflowing with things. It makes me feel good to have it well decorated, especially for the holidays. I miss my little boy and wish he was here to celebrate the holidays with us. I can't believe this is our 3rd easter without him. It really doesn't ever get easier, I guess there are some wounds time can't heal.

Here are some pictures from the day:

I can't help it.....I just think she's so darn cute!

One of the amazing things about kids is that they are extremely entertaining to just sit back and watch. Or at least Ayla is :)

This was amusing. She was singing to her socks, that she proudly removed from her feet, while sitting on her toy school bus... backwards and with the seat up so that her butt was in the storage compartment.


Ayla decided she wanted to talk to Daddy. The whole conversation consisted of her screaming
"DA DA DA DADADA DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" and then throwing the phone. I guess Dada didn't talk back.
