Simple Moments: April

A few snapshots of moments that made our April.

Baby snuggles as long as he wants them.

With the first warm rays of sun, they wanted to play in the water. 

A pear tart I made for Easter Sunday. The recipe will follow soon. 

They enjoyed many a fun hour on the swing.

My roses are blooming - saw this two toned one amongst all of them. 

The good ol' trusted bucket. E got sick (twice!) with a stomach bug this month.

Little Man's first time at the beach.

Good Morning.

I have more shots of my kids running away than I can count!

This was probably the only time in my life I wished we had dogs - these two were beauties!

We took some time to smell the flowers...

... and rest our heads' on Papa's shoulder.

We gave each of our kids a special necklace to remember their beach trip by.

(Putting a necklace on a 17 months old is harder than it looks ha!)

Moments that made our week - 

Though not done yet, a migraine knocked me off my feet this weekend and we'll be resuming our Christmas cookie baking this week. It must have scared my husband pretty bad because at one point he was thinking about taking me to the ER - probably when I was hugging the toilet crying, ha! In all honesty, though, this one was scary. But anyhow, these moments are from early last week. 

Also, someone had a birthday this month! For her special day, we went to a huge indoor playground - it was as much fun to watch the kids play as it probably was for them playing.

A moment that shaped last week.

We didn't have a tree {yet} so we decorated one in the backyard with our {slightly} burnt orange slices and {too soft} cranberries.
