Did you miss me??

Gosh, it's been a while!
I wish I had a fabulous reason, some unbelievable story to tell that has kept me from blogging, but I have nothing. Truthfully, I've just felt like I've been boring lately - silly huh? And now that I've been missing for so long, I feel a tremendous amount of pressure to impress and inspire!

I think the best place to start is with some of my favorite things and a new found 'treasure' - I'm a sucker for spring flowers, daffodils and tulips are hard to beat! I've got them scattered all over the house and each time I catch a glimpse, they make me smile.

Another thing, the treasure, that makes me smile, is my new favorite wine...Moscato!

I'm a cheap date when it comes to wine - it just has to have a fruity, fresh taste with none of that ridiculous after-bite. This Moscato is just perfect - it's a lot like a Riesling, but better! I'm embarrassed that the picture I chose to post is of an empty bottle, but I had to ~ I've just now started to enjoy the vino once again, after being preggers and a new mommy for like 3 straight years, it feels good to be back.

I've always thought it would be fun to be savvy about wine, so I welcome your suggestions! Again, I'll mention, I'm a cheap date when it comes to wine...the last glass of this bottle accompanied a cheeseburger - I know! Gross, yet so good! It was an indulgent night for sure!!

The girls have been doing so many more things TOGETHER lately; it's amazing to watch them grow into friends. Elsie is an amazing big sister - she loves to pretend she's the teacher and show Brynn how to do everything. We are working on the fine line between being bossy and being a teacher - it's a tough concept for a 3 year old, but I'll give her credit for trying! Not only is she a great teacher, she's an awesome when it comes to sharing. Brynn gets a nibble of just about every treat or snack Elsie has and we don't even have to ask her to do it!

It makes me so happy that they have each other and love each other so much. I hope it stays this way forever!!

I've been feeling so sappy lately about my babies growing up...especially with my 2 besties in the world expecting babies soon, it's making me feel like there's a void. Don't read too far into this, we're no where near planning number 3, but it does seem so strange to not have a baby-baby-baby to hold. Annie, Allison, be ware, I may be coming soon and often to get my fix of your new loves!

Easter plans...
We've decided to opt out of church this year - my busy body girls would most likely cause some sort of major distraction during the service - I just don't want to risk it and ruin someone elses special time!
So, sleeping in is on the list - well, the wish list...we'll see if that really happens!

We're doing brunch at Q's brother's house with his parents. I'm excited. Nolan is planning an egg hunt for the girls (super cute!) and Auntie Bessy is attempting to cook for a crowd - she's not super domestic, so we are all impressed with her efforts and thoughtfulness!

After Nolan and Beth's we are going to come home and refresh and then head over to Elsie's friend, Zane's house for his neighborhood Easter egg hunt - it should be fun and hopefully the weather man is wrong because it's supposed to rain. Maybe we'll have a living room hunt (and re-hunt for sure) just like Joe!! His parents are awesome and I think we have finally found our first "couples friends" - it's not an easy thing to do!

Hope you all have a wonderful Easter! Eat lots of sweet treats and don't forget where those real eggs are hidden!!

Who can resist this smoochable face?
