Easter.

We left Sunday morning for Aunt Boo's house for the family Easter celebration (minus Dallas...have I mentioned I miss him SO bad?) and had a nice drive with Gigi, Papa, me & Reese. Reese entertained us the whole way. Mom got her a new carseat and Reese saw it and said "I needed a new carseat Gigi! Mine was dirty. Thank you." That made mom so happy.
We had yummy food, lots of good family time and Reese had a ball playing with her (through marriage) cousins Kaitlin & Will. Reese was the main one into egg hunting. She was a bit obsessed. She calls it "laying eggs." "Gigi, will you lay eggs with me?" Sure. We were a little worried Boo would be the one laying a BIG Easter egg, but not that day (or today either).
They all got into a nice water gun fight too which left everyone wet (especially Papa & Uncle D.) It was absolutely wonderful.
I also celebrated my 32nd birthday this week (april 6) and had a great day (once again missing Dallas). I got my hair done in Atlanta with my fabulous hairdresser Brooke, then met Amanda and Mhari for dinner and shopping. Love those girls. We always have fun together.
This week I have been doing lots of editing (keep checking my work site for some awesome baseball sessions) but in between we've had our full day of Braddy's. Reese LOVES Chelsea, who spent the day with her Wednesday and Donna who came over that night. Brooke and Noah came over yesterday too, so we've had a busy week. Mom has had Reese all day everyday. They've been to jump twice already and I think are contemplating it again for tomorrow morning. I've been able to sleep in (not sure if it counts as extra rest if you stay up until 1 am working) but it's been great. I love being home. Still waiting on my patient little nephew to arrive...Mom is driving everyone crazy (in a good way). She's packed my bags, Reese's...asked me if my camera is ready 100 times....the works. She's an exciting Gigi for the second time.
Easter morning Reese woke to her Gigi & Papa playing "What did the Easter Bunny leave me?"
She found her basket and was so excited. Mom got her a pottery barn jewelry box (the ones with the dancing ballerinas) she had played them one time in Arizona. The minute she saw the jewelry box she yelled "It's from Potty Barn!!" Think we've been there a bit much???


We got to Boo's and it was so good to see my preggo sista!!

Reese loved playing in baby Penn's adorable nursery...

She played so good with Kaitlyn too (a little wild, but good)...

David's family & ours...

She may not look like me but she does has the Gigi/Mommy trait of sticking her tongue out while she accomplishes any task...

Edd hunting with Gigi. Reese was the most dedicated little hunter...
