Adriana turns 7!

Our baby is 7 and we can't believe it! She is a wonderful addition to our family and we love having her spunk, kindness, and creativity around. Some snapshots from her special day and that week.

Enjoying lunch with her at school.

She requested pancakes and rolls for dinner and then on to the presents...

Her very own cake!

Lincoln logs

Just had to throw this cute one of Christine in. Adriana adores her sister!

Building at the library

We decided to let the girls choose an experience this year in place of parties. They got to pick one friend to bring along. Adriana chose ice skating. It was a first for all of them and Mark and I hadn't gone in years so we were all beginners. The first half was rough, but after that they all loved it and didn't want to go home.

The birthday girl!

She got a big ice cream cake after skating.

March

March was a great month of travels, birthdays and fun! We'll talk about Adriana on the next post.

Having fun sporting my buttons throughout the years.

Park excitement! 

My parents came to visit and we got to spend some time exploring Savannah and Hilton Head Island. It was a great trip and the girls loved the benefits of staying in a hotel.

Getting our craft on

We went to the Pirate House for lunch and it was the highlight of Savannah!

Riding on the ferry

Story time with Grandma

Hilton Head Beach

Adriana started making circles and everyone joined in. Infinity...

There was one seagull on the beach and we started feeding it some bread. All of a sudden about 50 appeared! They even tried to eat the bread Christine was enjoying. Gave her quite the surprise.

A little nature walk

We also got to spend a few days at home with grandma and grandpa.

Sleep over!

Elena & Abigail performed a circus at their school and they chose to be clowns. (Following in the footsteps of their older sister a few years ago). They were the cutest clowns you'll ever see! Grandma even helped with their costumes.

Christine wanted some face paint too!

The girls with Miss Carol and Miss Kris

Is this the same girls that didn't want a single thing in her crib a few months ago? Now she loves the company.
