Wrapping up April

I'm  getting caught up as fast as I can!


1. FINALLY a belly pic - this was on 4.10.11 - at 12 weeks along... I felt like I just popped out!!

2. Poor mom's version of fun bandaids... use a sharpie to draw a smily-face on them.  Any time Avery gets a cut, she insists on the smily-face now. :) (btw, this was a tiny cut and in spite of the look on her face in this pic, she was just fine :))

3. One day when I was watching Malachi and Avery, I took them to our neighborhood park to get rid of some energy.  I felt so sick... so it was nice to sit and watch them play for a bit. :)

Malachi LOVED the swings and didn't want to stop... but this sick preggo mommy could only do this for a few minutes. :)

On the walk back to the house, Avery and Malachi decided they wanted to switch jackets.  Pretty cute.

4. This is the common scene in our front room as we wait for Daddy to get home :)

5. I still can't get over how sweet/cute she is asleep in her carseat... from a newborn until now, it's still one of the most adorable things ever.

6. Joe and I celebrated 6 wonderful years of marriage on 4.29.11!  We decided to take a family night out to celebrate with some wood oven pizza. :) Avery was being silly with a lemon - we were cracking up.

Oh and I think this was the first time that Avery insisted on staying in her "big girl chair" rather than the high chair - and did really well!

I apologize for this pic... I was still pretty sick.  I wanted a pic with my girl.  My hubby was sweet to suggest pizza so I didn't have to fix my hair, put makeup on, or change out of my t-shirt.  What a romantic anniversary, right? :) Well, I love how he loves me no matter what... maybe next year we'll get all gussied up. :)

I only have one more April post - Easter - then I'll work through May as fast as I can! :)
