Easter 2019

We had a fun Easter weekend.  On Saturday morning we went to our neighborhood's annual potluck/egg hunt at the park just up the street.  Well, Kayley didn't go because she was at a sleepover but the rest of us did.

The food table

The older kids' eggs are hidden in the woods to make it harder--the rest are just all over the grass fields. 


Then today we to church and then up to my brother and sister-in-law's place in Mount Vernon, about an hour and a half away.  We had a nice dinner and then another egg hunt.

They love slime so I found this for their Easter baskets.  It smelled awful but had these cute little tiny chicks inside.


 One of these years I'll manage to get a nice picture of all 4 of us.  I'll probably have to resort to bribery.

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer!  5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago).  It was a Saturday that year, also.

There are lots of finishing touches still to be done.  We need to replace their dresser, get a nightstand, put up a shelf (ledge) or two and some wall art, and curtains.  We're also going to paint.  I've had my heart set on purple for a long time, which is why I chose this bedding with some purple but not too much, but now...

Last Friday was the girls' Senior Prom.  A whole group of them met at a nearby park for photos, then they broke off into smaller groups and went to dinner and Prom.  Olivia and her group rented an Air B&B for the night, and Kayley spent the night at a friend's house with another friend or two.
