All of a Sudden . . .

All of a Sudden Alice:

isn’t so shy with strangers

can tell others her name and how old she is

sits through dinner at a restaurant and is well-behaved

doesn’t throw as many fits and understands the word “wait”

All of a Sudden Alice:

knows her manners and uses them appropriately (please, thank-you, welcome)

has changed many of her cute mispronunciations to speak words correctly

is willing to hold mommy’s hand

has become very attached to her daddy

All of a Sudden Alice:

doesn’t panic when mommy holds another baby

seems to be ready for the arrival of her baby sister (fingers crossed)

All of a Sudden Alice:

LOVES chocolate M & M’s (and you must include the chocolate) when you say it.

Easter weekend


Easter weekend the family traveled to Wabash to celebrate. Alice looked adorable in her Easter dress. My mom and I had to take off after the Easter egg hunt to help out Jay, Cait, and Sophia. After four days in the hospital with an infection, we are so happy Cait is now able to be at home with her little girl. Not an enjoyable Easter for their new family, but everything is on the upswing now! I left Andy in charge of Alice for the day and found pictures of her running around the yard in just her diaper. . . I guess that’s what happens when you leave the men in charge!


The family (big belly alert!)

Grammy the Easter bunny :)






Love my new slinky!


Andy breaking his 40 day fast of no alcohol!

Easter dresses are overrated anyway!
