sometimes a big brother can just make it all better

these days when i say smile i seem to always get one of these kinds of faces!

we headed to FRIPP! one of our favorite coast spots. Hog Heaven.

 

 

baby Emmett made his first trip

the kids get measured every year. always so fun to see how much they have grown.

mom & dad had the fun duty of unpacking once home; these two got to hit the water again- sprinkler style!!! (hands down the sweetest big brother ever. he loves her so much. makes a mommas heart melt)

I can say I am going to "catch up" and keep blogging but obviously that is NOT happening! I don't want to miss the chance though to document these little ones. The years just seem to go by faster and faster and I don't want to forget all the great times. Photos are one of my most treasured items...they would be one of my top three things I would grab if we ever needed to dash out of the house! Let's hope not! So....here will be a quick recap in pictures of february, march, & april 2013!

the book launch! march, april & may were super busy; the birth of Circa's new book, The Welcoming House, would be one of those reasons why it was go-go-go months. i am so proud to be a part of this amazing team.  they are my second family. i love each one of them so much!

you can't have a party without beautiful tables

then we jumped into Easter. as you can see purple is her fav. the only egg she would touch.

 

he was running around so fast I only got 1 picture!
