April

With spring break and Easter taken care of, that leaves April with these four pictures...

Happy birthday, Lacy!

Last sighting of the Bergers before moving.  They will now be considered our coolest friends- working for the FBI and all.

One of us had fun at the RTE school carnival! It's the eye of the tiger...🎵

Easter

Clearly none of this is what Easter is about.  I should title it "Egg Related Activities That in No Way Overshadow the Resurrection, but Happen to be Much Easier to Photograph."

"Rory, Where are the eggs?"

Rory tottled around with his much too large and swingy basket that left a trail of his treasures behind him.

Our best cousin photo yet!

A more run-of the-mill cousin photo.

Spring Break

 

Those first three beauties all came from the same glorious few days in StL visiting my pal Kristen.  A butterfly garden and a wrestling match where I felt like I was in the male version of GLOW. Both were glorious in their own way.

My mom picked me up from there and we hit the road to Fayette to look in on Trevor and the CMU Eagles. (We saw one on the drive!)  I had my first of two burgers and carried on to my and the future alma mater of Trenton.  Guess where the second burger was from?!?!

Upon arriving home we took a short family vacation to Atlanta and the Georgia Aquarium.  (I needed something fun for them to report and carry as a dear memory since they spent the first two days of their spring break in daycare while I gallivanted.)

Rory is mad because the hotel we booked only for the purpose of swimming had an out of service pool and we had to walk three blocks in downtown Atlanta decked in our swim gear to another.  (I only let the terrible mood that put me in ruin 1/3 of the trip.)

Here is the above and below of their giant tank.  Pretty impressive.  We also watched a dolphin show, sea lion show, and a 4D movie that terrified Rory.

We finished the week off with a Fireflies game that was rained out, but good for free hats, cousin time, and a nice dinner.

March

Getting our party nails ready to celebrate Lizzy's first birthday!

Had the most fun visit with Auntie Conn and Mr. Roebke.  We took the ferry to Fort Sumter where Dad almost missed the boat reading every sign.  I on the other hand spent most of the day confused about which army we were talking about.  We also had a brief beach visit, hiked Congaree National Park, and Silas was thrilled to skip school for the zoo.  We also played a good amount of PooPoo on Your Neighbor.

Bought a Nintendo.

Ready for summer!

February

One hundred days of school. (Actually only 99 for Silas because he had one sick day. That is our story anyways if the bead count on our necklace is off.)

 

Happy Valentine's Day. Rory actively dislikes his new Elmo doll.  Turns out just because he can say a word doesn't mean it is a good gift.

That dang bear got sent around again. 

Box Top winners.  I am sure it was that one box of Cheerios a month that we contribute that really put them over the edge.

#DolanOuttheLove

Laura and Ryan's Bahamas Cruise Wedding
First an overnight in Vero and a visit to the, of course, glowy and beautiful new home of the Privetts in North Palm Beach.

Ahh, our ride to the wedding awaits...

The 8663 crew.

Diversions.

 

At the Compass Point Resort

 

Married!!  (Clearly this photo was not taken by me, but by the second best photographer I know, Amanda at Dreampop Media.)

Reception glow party.

CocoCay.  Not a bad day lounging in our private cabana. I literally wore a bracelet that said VIP.

Eileen and Bobby- table 148 staples.

Loved being a part of your big day, Laura!  It was perfect! Now I have that sad back from summer camp feeling.  I certainly will miss the sunshine and steak. It was nice to come home and kiss my three favorite faces though!
