A New Chapter

This has been one roller coaster of a month!  We've been through every emotion on the spectrum (long story...)  but right now, we are finally feeling elation!  We can't wait to begin this exciting new chapter in our lives and we are loving life!!  In the next few weeks we will be moving into our dream home, celebrating Bug's 4th birthday with a "Princess Gymnastics" party fit for queen and we will find out if the little person who's been kicking in my belly is a boy or a girl!! 

 

My lack of quality pictures directly reflects our record breaking, emotionally stressful month.  Here's a brief recap:

We spent Easter in Florida having a blast with Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Kelly, Uncle Dan and all of our great friends.  Lainey was sick with an ear infection while we were in Florida and Hailey was down for the count for a week with Norovirus once we got home.  We've made a few trips to Gigi and Babu's where the girls got to visit a horse farm and enjoy lots of Springtime outdoor play.  We've had tons of park trips, outside playdates and birthday parties with our favorite friends and have been loving this beautiful spring weather in Virginia.  The girls love pointing out all of the different colored flowers blooming around us. 

 

Life has been chaotic lately, and even though we are going to be super busy with the move and a new baby in 5 months, I have never felt more calm.  God is good and we are blessed.

Our flight to Florida was hands down our worst flying experience ever!!!  After nearly 12 hours of travel we eventually made it to Grandma and Grandpas and had a great time.

Hailey had a great time with Daddy at our friends Easter party.  All of Hailey's favorite Florida friends were there.  Mommy, Grandma and Lainey spent the morning in the doctors office treating Lainey's ear infection. 

 

Sasha, Selah, Sophia and Sharlotte's mommy sure knows how to throw a great, kid friendly party!!!

Lainey has not been very cooperative with the camera lately...

But sometimes she'll surprise me...

How cute are these kiddos?!

 

Poor Bug didn't move from her "sick chair" for 5 whole days. 

Decorating her jersey at Robert's soccer birthday party. 

Lainey loved exploring the outdoors while Sissy was playing soccer with her friends. 

Unfortunately, Bug was still getting over her virus and spent most of the party on the sidelines, cheering on her best bud Robert. 

Playing in the backyard after Sunday school. 

We've gone on lots of wagon rides this week!

Singing Happy Birthday at Stella's birthday party!

Hailey and Maddie loved the princess birthday cake!

 

Lainey spent the party lounging in style. 
 

I was thankful for sweet Sophie and her great babysitting skills.  She played with Lulu the whole time so I could actually talk to adults!!

Hailey spent the entire time inside the Princess Bouncy house!!!

We stopped by Owen and Ella's house after the party to maul visit baby Hudson. 

The girls sure do love that sweet baby!

Hailey and her best buddy Owen.  We're going to miss having them right up the street from us when we move :(
