Our Little Easter Bunny


Custom easter egg dyed and decorated by Daddy. It says "Sprout", one of his many nicknames for Abbie.

Proud grandparents written all over their faces!

My cousin, Alicia, had this great idea for a cute picture of Abbie.

Easter Family Picture (Abbie at her best, we hope this isn't setting a precedence for future family photos!)

Easter brought our first road trip adventure with little Abigail Rose! She did amazing to be only 6 1/2 weeks old! The trek to Atlanta went from the normal 6 1/2 hour trip to 9 hours! But we did have the treat of stopping in Birmingham to enjoy delicious pizza at California Pizza Kitchen, one of our favorites. We enjoyed Friday in Atlanta and then set out on another trek on Saturday to Alabama to visit family and friends and introduce Abbie to all of them. We had a great time at my Aunt Kay's house for Easter with all our family. Mike dyed easter eggs for the first time in his life and helped Aunt Kay make dressing from scratch. Abbie's dress was borrowed from her cousins, Maggie and Lily. What a perk to have girl cousins to share clothes with. Abbie found the first easter egg in the hunt with all her second and third cousins. It just happened to be the one her daddy dyed especially for her!

2 Years of Bliss


Pacy is my friend when I'm just beside myself with fussiness, though it takes up my whole face and it's a newborn pacy!

We've been working VERY hard on this BIG BELLY! I'm a whole 8.6 lbs as of today! Hooray!

Daddy's lap, one of Abbie's favorite spots

Sleepy baby!

Silly pose to show off his culinary work

March 31st Mike and I celebrated our 2 Year Anniversary! Time's flown and oh how life's changed! It's been numerous blessings beyond counting that God's given us. Nana Rose and Papa Ray babysat little Abbie Rose while we went to Bahama Breeze to celebrate caribbean style last weekend, and we continued our celebration cooking dinner together the eve of our anniversary this past week. Our menu included macadamia encrusted tilapia with mango papaya salsa, broccoli, and brownies and oatmeal cookie chocolate chip ice cream! Good stuff! We've almost perfected our tag team cooking skills and love that kind of quality time together. Though, these days I often find myself as a spectator, along with Abbie, watching Mike and his chef skills, which thankfully he's ok with.
Of course I also added some recent pictures of Abigail, just couldn't help myself!
