Happy Birthday to April Babes

We celebrated the birthdays of Memere, Lauren and Alex at Stone Tower Winery on a beautiful Sunday in Leesburg. What a great way to spend the day!

Awesome April

April has been such a fun month. We've been taking advantage of the beautiful weather, catching up with friends, and even got away for a fun wedding weekend in North Carolina.

NIGHT OUT! We made it out for a friend's 40th birthday celebration and we caught up with some old friends.

Playground fun



Emma has always wanted to be first in the carpool line. We finally did it!

Too many Peeps left over from Easter means roasting Peeps to make s'mores.

Peeps seem to go faster than regular marshmallows


Annie was a big fan

Mountain House Vacation

We spent 5 fun-filled days with Grandma & Grandpa in Blacksburg for Spring Break. We had great weather and lots of fun.

We tried to dye eggs in cool whip but weren't too successful. I don't think we used enough dye!

We ended up dyeing eggs the old fashioned way, with a kit!

The girls enjoyed an egg hunt in the backyard

We stopped by Peaks of Otter on our way home. It was a little chilly but pretty!
