My eggs are on strike...psych!

I'll never forget a conversation with my college roomates where they shared their ovarian woes until finally proclaiming -- my eggs are on strike. Well my friends, mine are not -- for Ellie is going to be a big sister!



It's official. We are due with #2 the first week of October. Ellie seems...excited (can't you tell?) She does point to my belly when I ask her where the baby is...but I think she is equating belly button with a baby...hard to tell.

In other egg news, we had a fabulous Easter, wrapping up a week with some of our family in town. We did an Easter egg hunt, went to the zoo, and spent some time on carousels (Ellie's favorite...although she takes them VERY seriously...these are no slashie-activities folks...this is the big league). 

I was pretty happy with how all of our Easter outfits turned out, even though making a tie is a bit more of a project than I anticipated (can you say cut-on-the-bias and hand-sewing? yeah...there's goes the entire Wives and Daughters series on Netflix...)



















Yeah...uhm....again.




























I am done with pictures!

Read some books!

Ellie reading her books...she is never happier than when she is on her chair, "reading" her books...all of her books. We average 3-4 before each bedtime/naptime - with specials like "babies" and "we're going on a bear hunt" so ingrained in my head that it doesn't matter her rapid page-turning (the rhyming helps with the memorization...)



independent yogurt feeding the other day. epic fail.






St. Patrick's Day! Celebrating our proud Leonard/Fogarty Irish heritage!!





Spring skiing snow day! If only we were actually skiing...sigh....but we still had fun outside, despite the trials of restrictive waterproof layers, poorly designed toddler snow boots, and a fiesty 16-month-year-old who refused to wear her gloves.
