April Happenings...

I have been getting subtle hints about how the blog hasn't been updated for a while.  I promise "update the blog" has been an item on the TO DO List for weeks!!  So, here I am.  Let's do this.  A recap of April 2014.

Ella has been busy!! Our new "normal" has Grandma Jolyn coming over on Mondays and Wednesdays to get Ms. Ella to and from Kinder Kollege.  Of course, I think they both LOVE having this additional time together....sort of like the old days!

 

We had a busy month as well.  We listed the townhome for sale on the market the afternoon of March 31 (so long FSBO sign) and believe it or not, it's under contract with the very first people who came to see it on the evening of March 31.  Crazy talk!  We've been through a lot of houses since, although the pickin's have been slim.  We (finally) found a home we like and we spent loads of time negotiating the purchase agreement (like an entire week!).  We have the big home inspection tomorrow, so we shall see!  Life is about to get even crazier with packing and moving!  But....it will be so nice to be in the new house to enjoy the summer months!  

(HA! - Ella insisted that she stand next to the SOLD sign for a photo op)

We spent Easter in Worthington.  It was nice to get out of town!!  The weather was pretty great too (windy, but it's ALWAYS windy there).  We got to see a lot of people while we were in town, even running into Gretchen at the gas station on the way home - RANDOM!  We woke up bright and early for Sunrise Service at American Lutheran, which is the only way we roll on Easter Sunday.  :)  We took a few pictures, but then lost track of it all and never got any with grandparents.  Boo.  Next time!!

 (this was at about 6 a.m. - maybe that explains why the bunny purse is backwards!)

 I can't get enough of the dress and the smiles!

SQUINTING!  But, it will do.  :)

THE EGG HUNT:

 Chase and Ella had a blast collecting eggs - TONs of eggs!

 Looking for bunnies??

Of course there were Easter baskets galore!  

The Easter Bunny (thankfully) didn't go AS crazy with the candy this year, but there is still LOTS of new candy and fun toys to enjoy!

I celebrated my 10th year at the law firm (what the what?!)  The attorney I work for brought me these - hoping I can keep it alive until I can plant it at the new house:

And, the next picture may have been the last day we had some sunshine here!  

April 25th! (I feel like it has been raining ever since!)

Nothing like a chocolatey smile while enjoying an afternoon snack outside!

Happy May Day!
