springy spring spring

the weather and our family time have been equally beautiful.   i have never seen anything more lovely than springtime in charlotte.   the wisteria trees line the streets and flowers are blooming everywhere.


these pictures remind me of the days when ben only had one child to walk with.   now he is barely able to move with all three piled on top.   these girls are growing like weeds; i'm not sure how many more times this will be happening.  


easter morning.  such a fun day we had.  

i don't want to forget a slight complication to our day.  caroline and i stayed back from church because she had hand foot and mouth disease.  first child of mine to ever contract it and boy was it a nasty little virus.  i've never seen such a sad sight on one of my kiddos.  she had blisters everywhere.  on her face, tushie, hands, feet, toes, between her toes.   ouchie.  




neighborhood egg hunt



we had friends over for easter dinner and sent the kids on a fun scavenger hunt.   i think they went up and down the stairs a dozen times.   i'm sure the ring pop as a reward was totally worth it.  poor things.  


spring has also meant soccer.  this is hallie's first season and she is a trip to watch.   i'm so proud of her.  



strawberry picking is a new favorite past time.  this patch is very close to our house so i know we will be frequenting it lots.  it was soooo pretty!





such a beautiful place!



don't let caroline fool you.  she looks as if she is seeking out the perfect strawberry....she is not.  she spent her time racing up and down the aisles having a good old time.
