Catching Up

I feel like we blinked and April is already halfway over! 

Our month started out with some warm, summer-like days. The boys and I walked to the back part of our neighborhood that is still under development and found that someone has made an awesome rope swing. The boys loved it!

There were also lots of rocks to be over turned and rolly polys to be found!

Then...it rained.

We made national news for the second time due to weather this year. Six inches of rain fell over the course of a day, and the field behind our house became a creek. While Caleb and Luke had school that Friday, JCPS was cancelled because over 30 schools were inaccessible due to flooding.

Having an extra day off work helped because I was able to do this... 

 On Saturday, April 4th, my mom and I hosted a shower at my house for Briana, or "Aunt Briana," as Caleb now calls her. My aunt Kim brought beautiful flowers, and I mostly decorated with pictures and monograms for Briana & Luke. The wedding colors are coral, aqua, and gold, so I tried to use those. (I also had my normal Easter decorations out as well.)

One of my friends made the MOST amazing cupcakes. I may have sampled some that morning with my coffee. 

Sandwiches, veggies and dip, and yogurt parfaits

Caroline & Baylee (Caleb was so bummed that he couldn't stay for the shower, saying he wished "it was a couple's shower" so he could be there. Ha!)

Ella is getting so big and was such a little ham at the shower!

We had a house full of family that afternoon.

Rachel (Bri's younger sister) and the Bride-to-Be, also known as Caleb & Luke's favorite babysitters. (And, also known as the two ladies that can make Caleb blush!)

The BIG day (May 9th) will be here before we know it...
