 Ready, Set...

 A royal egg dying.

The Easter Bunny came!

 Happy First Easter!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

She liked the corned beef and cabbage okay. She couldn't say "blarney stone" and she wasn't a fan of it either!

Is there something on my back?!

Sorry, Brooke....I think the third child just has to roll with it.

I found a pile of hair hiding next to the girls' art supplies and realized that Ellie had taken some nice-sized chunks out of the front of her hair.  Is this a rite of passage?  Sadly, in order to fix it, her long baby curls were traded in for a more grown-up looking bob.  It's a cute little cut though, and she'd be beautiful even if she were bald : )

Opening Day Parade

Lunch at Skyline per Ellie's request.

Apparently, the family dog also has to roll with it.

Growing and getting stronger every day!

 Ellie participated in a "Paws for Reading" program at our library.  She was thrilled to spend a half an hour reading her princess readers to a therapy dog.

Maybe he prefers superheroes.

Very proud of her reading sticker : )

Ready for soccer season!

Hanging out with play date and neighborhood friends.

Brooke met one of Ellie and Clara's favorite visitors- our friends Matt and Vicky who stopped by while in town from Chicago for a wedding.

Squeezing in one last hot chocolate on a snowy April day - hopefully it's the last snow we see until December!
