Ellie holding Cavan for the first time

 Finally!! She has been so so loving and helpful-- and finally got to hold him-- she was so proud and sweet as always.

Papa and Josh finally get to hold Cavan

 They stopped by to see him at the hospital (on the way out of town) but couldn't hold or touch Cavanaugh because they were covered with the kids' germs... when we got down to Florida they finally could hold him whohooo!!!

Yellow flowers and "coming home/meeting outfits"

 We found a GORGEOUS field of yellow flowers-- which matched the kids' special "meeting Cavan" outfits that they still hadn't worn  yet...

 It was on the way back from the splash pad (hence the swimming suit) and before the egg dying-- it was impromptu-- luckily, I had the shirts in the car!

Callan needed a nap and was positively ROTTEN...

 Ellie was in her own world for most of these shots-- in this pic she is literally singing.

 here I am in all my splash pad exhausted glory-- but I've never been so happy!

this is after Callan ran away crying-- but the girls were cute ;)

Easter basket finding in the woods from Amber

Auntie Amber brought Easter baskets and hid them in the woods-- the kids were delighted!!

Once every basket was found- we came back to Booky and Cavan 

His favorite way to sleep

And then the kids partied in their baskets 

It was SUCH a fun day ;)

Easter eggs with Auntie Amber!

We tried the food coloring/cool whip egg dying from Pinterest.

It was very fun, tasty and messy.

They turned out "fine" I wasn't over the moon - but it wasn't a flop ;) 

Goings ons

Callan is obsessed with frozen - calls it "ice" and especially enjoys the opening song-- 

Cavan started flat on his back and ended up a stink bug today-adorable 

Oh this profile

The girls went to Rio2 with Booky today so it was just mommy and the boys- I loved it ;) Callahan spent a lot of time smelling his borther's Stinky toes.

The rest of the time was spent cuddling ;) heaven 

One night and afternoon of diapers-- this kid is a pooper!

A text I sent uncle Dave in the middle of the night- he works late shift and makes night time feelings a bit more fun 

Emmy went fishing with uncle josh

And caught 3 fish!!!

Elles caught 1 and both were over the moon!

Life with papa is good ;) 

I made his blessing outfit- not extravagant- but super cute 

Our first selfie together :) and in this pic- he looks like just like one of my baby pics

I can't get enough 

Party at the lake front ;) 

Disgusting 

Drawing at sisters pizza

Waking up to this  makes any nighttime feeding a pleasure :)
