Eggs!

Lee ran out for coffee early this morning. He came back with a treat for his girls. What is it about these colored plastic eggs that makes me so happy? Apparently, Liza feels it too.

Happy Easter!

Easter Mail

Liza finally got to open the Easter card that arrived in the mail earlier this week.

Can you tell she's excited about it?

She needed Daddy's help to read it, and...

to make it squeak!

Thanks, Grandpa & Nana!

Where's Liza?

Mama's Helper

First, she unpacked the grocery bags. Then, she "unpacked" the fridge. 

Easter Ducky

Grandpa & Nana sent an Easter ducky for Miss Liza this week. The box arrived after she was in bed, so I strategically placed the duck in the playroom for her to discover the next morning.

It was love (and squealing, laughing, pointing) at first sight.

Liza can say "duck" which is quite possibly the cutest thing ever.

Well, almost as cute as her cradling her Easter ducky like a little mama.

Thanks, Grandpa & Nana!

Happy Birthday, Lee!

We've spent his birthday apart more times than together. Thankfully, this year he was home to celebrate. We picked out his cake recipe weeks ago and were so excited to finally try it. 

Banana chocolate chip with vanilla buttercream...delish!

Even after only a year, I know that this parenting thing is absolutely no joke. So, Linda & Phil, I want to say thank you. Thank you for your love, perseverance, and positive example as you raised this little boy to be a man. Liza and I are lucky girls to have him in our lives!
