Busy Spring

Apologies for the lack of posts, but we've had a busy Spring since we sold our house, bought a new house and moved all the way across the street from our old house.  So far, we are loving the new house since it's larger (more bedrooms, bathrooms, larger kitchen and backyard) and most importantly in Caroline's book, her room is pink.  All this happened at the same time that I started at new job at the State Department so life's been a little hectic.  

Caroline update: She is now talking in full sentences (although short and not always intelligible), can count to 10, sings her ABCs along with Twinkle, Twinkle, Old McDonald and the Itsy, Bitsy Spider, loves puzzles and can actually sit still for more than 10 minutes to complete an activity.  

To hopefully make up for the lack of posts, here are lots of pictures from the past few months. 

First, proof that we did sell our house (Minnie Mouse courtesy of Caroline):

Spring time fun outside:

Easter pictures (complete with an Easter basket, egg hunt and a failed attempt at a family picture):

Memorial Day fun in the front yard at the old house:

Reading with Nana who was in town to help us move (and was a HUGE help):

Coloring at her new table in the new house:

Spring is Here!!

Tulips! I planted some last year and despite Waylon's best efforts to eat them all, we had most of the yellow ones and yellow/red ones bloom, but none of the red ones...perhaps Waylon found those more tasty...

We hosted six friends for "Orphan Easter." I finally got to use the china and fancy tablecloth and pitchers after almost five years! We did have an Easter Egg hunt with liquor prizes, which I think was everyone's favorite part of the day although I'm not too sure that the prizes were exactly in the Easter spirit. Of course, I meant to get more pictures, but only managed one of the table:
