~Happy Easter~

Hi there!

We hope you had a wonderful Easter! Ours was very nice and extra sweet. Sugar induced overactive children were in full swing at our house from about 7:30 am until 7:30 pm! You can clearly see the evidence here in the pictures. Getting them to stand still for a photo was the most challenging event of the day followed by fixing their hair for church. By that time, they had consumed an entire chocolate bunny, a few Peeps, and pancakes smothered in syrup. What was the Easter bunny thinking??

Here's a little clip of them coming down the stairs to find their Easter baskets.

What a fun day!

It is 70 degrees and sunny here, so we decided to get outside and enjoy it! Today Anabelle was home from school because her class will finally be moving to the new elementary school down the street tomorrow. They gave the children a day off so the teachers could prepare their classrooms (she's VERY excited!). So...I decided to take advantage of the day and visit a beautiful park downtown called Maymont. The girls had a blast "fishing" in the coi pond at the Japanese gardens, tromping through the bamboo forests, rolling down the hills near the Mediterranean gardens, and feeding the animals at the barns. I could have spent the whole day there, but they were pretty tired after walking all morning. I would have taken more pictures of the beautiful landscape, but those spots were usually near water and I wasn't completely confident in letting go of Sadie's hand!! Here are a few pictures of the girls!
