Country Livin'

So I came home from school today and the weather was BEAUTIFUL! We enjoyed a nice afternoon - completely outside. Ella played with her toys, bubbles, slide, etc. Ronnie decided to mow and had a nice little find of his own! I'm impressed that he tackled the job. He killed a 5 foot black snake that was also enjoying the nice weather! Ronnie's initial dead sprint for the shovel is good practice for the upcoming mini-marathon!

Photos from Chicago

View from Roy's in Chicago - Highly suggest the restaurant if you ever have a chance to visit one of their locations! (We first went on our honeymoon in Hawaii, and try to go back to celebrate anything we can come up with!

Ainsley - what a doll!

No kidding - a triple stroller (Avery is in the "jump seat" in the front) I don't think people would have stared any more than if I had 3 heads!:) I'm sure the kids looked like triplets. Surprisingly, it is pretty easy to navigate.

Karen and Caden

Heather, Harper, and the very recent addition Grady! We were able to stop by and visit. I really miss my friends from Plainfield! It was great to be able to catch up and pick up like no time has passed!

At the zoo - notice the heavy coats! I am 4 months pregnant and am feeling pretty good. It is amazing how chasing Ella makes the time pass. . .
(notice the blue hood on Ella - that is the hood to her UK sweatshirt. It was a challenge to even convince Ronnie to allow her to put it on! The sub-zero like windchill was the determining factor)




At Shedd, sporting my new Tshirt. Go Cubs!

Walking around Michigan Ave

Ella's favorite activity - snuggling with the baby! I think I am going to have some good help!:)

Cold Spring Break!

We decided to go to Chicago for Spring Break. Most people go to warm weather - we decided visiting old friends was more important! We had a great time and were able to catch up with a lot of people. Ella got to enjoy Roy's (our favorite restaurant that we really miss from the city), Brookfield Zoo, Shedd Aquarium, as well as meeting the new addition babies to the Joy, Pomeroy, and Labiak family! (Lot's of little friends!!!) Ella had a great time playing with Caden and Avery, too.
We returned to KY just in time to enjoy a couple of 70 degree weather days!
