I so often wonder where the time goes. I think that I'm doing good updating the blog on what we've been up to usually to find myself several weeks behind. Needless to say, here I am again a little late on these posts.
In light of the season, we've been up to all those fun Easter and Spring activities. We absolutely love holidays in our home. However, I must say, I think that I enjoy them more now that we have kids...well, a toddler and one on the way. Not that the holidays have more meaning, but rather the activities and traditions have become a little more special.
I know that I've mentioned just how much Tess and I love crafting, but making holiday crafts has become our favorite.
A homemade Easter Egg for the window. For those of you who don't know where the Easter Egg tradition comes from, I'll leave it to you to do a little research....completely worth the time by the way.
Two of our favorite things to do in the Spring and summer are to go on walks and hikes. The fresh air, exercise, and exploring are much needed and enjoyed after the long winters we have here in the pnw.
I can't begin to count the number of blossoms we have seen lately. Not only are they gorgeous, but the fragrances are wonderfully delightful.
Given that we don't have a large yard for gardening anymore, we've managed to make the most of what we do have. While Tim and I miss spending countless hours gardening and planting, we've come to enjoy the mini-garden on our deck. Planting and gardening is a passion and tradition that we both love and want to pass on to our kids.
Tessa loves her new gardening set that she got from Aunt Amy for her Birthday
It seems that every year companies come up with more creative ways to color and decorate Easter Eggs. I love it!
Here is Tessa sporting her new earring's. Of course this mama and her preggo brain forgot to bring the camera. I guess you could say that it's become a tradition in our family for mom, daughter, and grandma to all go together for ear piercing. My grandma and mom went with me when I got my ears pierced, and we did the same with Tess this last weekend.
My sweet hubby made me a personalized egg
30 weeks and counting...
I know it's a little hard to tell from the picture, but Tessa's name is written on this egg.
....and last but certainly not least....Tessa and daddy were practicing their gymnastic ability and doing somersault's. BTW...this was not the result of over doing it on Easter candy.
