Tip Toeing through the Tulips
Tip Toeing through the tulips, or rather running by them!! Noah's work has the most beautiful gardens. We just had to go out and get some spring pictures. Spring is my all time favorite time of year, and I LOOOOOVVVEEE tulips, and all the spring flowers. We had a great time, and got some really cute shots. We went with my brother and sister-in-law and had a fun time.






France pt. 2 EASTER
We had a really nice Easter weekend with even more family than we thought would be coming! It was so fun to see everyone, even Noah's cousin Claire ( the only girl born into the family out of 10:) drove for 8 hours to come down. The boys loved finding their Easter Basket, and we had a great egg hunt. Ronan was actually really good at finding the eggs, much better than we thought he would be! He found the ones that were just laying around for him, as well as the ones that were actually hidden!! What a stud. Anyway, there was plenty of CHOCOLATE to go around this Easter, as well as delicious pastries. What a nice time, and a fun experience to have Easter in France.

France part one
Hello to all. We are back from our trip, it was really great but also long. Well, mostly the plane rides were long, but that is always the case with two little ones! They are really both pretty good travelers in comparison though so I can not complain. We had a great time, and got to see tons of family which we all loved. It is pretty much an outdoor play paradise at Noah's grandparents, so Porter was in heaven. He told us that he "never wanted to go home, and we should stay here forever". We thought that was cute, and it definitely melted the grandparent's hearts. We had a great time with all of our usual "must do/haves" while we were there, great food and great shopping, but also got to do some new and different things as well. We made big fires in the fireplace this time and grilled several time, and we roasted "chamallows" and made his cousins and aunts/uncles their first s'mores! (or the closest we could get anyway:) The new big touristy thing that we did this time, and never before, just because we didn't know about it...(sorry meg and shelly) but anyway, turns out that Coco Chanel, was raised and learned to sew from the nuns in an orphanage/abby right by Noah's grandparents house! So really for anyone who just thinks that's cool, like I did, that is where we got to go. These are the pics from that Abby in a village called Aubazine. So anyway, it is where Chanel started her career of sorts! The rest are just fun pics from the trip. I also have tons of fun Easter pics too, but I'll post those in a separate one.
