Spring has sprung

Flowers are blooming, the snow is falling, and Riley and Piper are turning one. How exciting!  Riley and I have been enjoying the new variety of activities that are available now that it is nice out again and she is more mobile.  Playing on the swing and chasing Quinny are favorites. Keenan and I have been getting a lot of outdoor stuff done as well.  Like putting in our path in the backyard, staining the outdoor furniture, moving plants around and finally buying that composter.  I am really excited for planting season to start.  I am going plant shopping with Mom, Stacy and Diane this weekend.

 Having a first birthday party was controversial in our house but I loved the idea of filling our home with family to celebrate having Riley in our lives.  She has added so much laughter and joy to our new family. Thank you to all of you that could make it and we missed the ones that couldn't. We love you all!

     I think just about everyone knows that I love to cook so getting to throw a big lunch party for Riley's birthday was really fun for me!  Riley seemed to have a lot of fun opening her gifts and playing with all of the new toys.  Who doesn't love a baby with cake smeared all over their face
