good times. {according to instagram}

we visited a couple wineries with dear friends, the cheeks and the buckleys, this weekend including glen manor and hume.  both were kid/baby friendly and provided some lovely tastings of their wines.  but, the best part was spending time with sweet friends and their babies.  nothing is better - we simple LOVE these friends.

logan's first baseball game.

last night, we headed to the ball park to see the nationals take on the houston astros with jeffrey's amazing company tickets.  it also happen to be logan's first baseball game, which she was a total champ for.  the weather was amazing.  the food was delicious.  we just played and snuggled with our gal as we watched some baseball.  not too shabby for a tuesday night.

a picnic.

the past couple of saturdays, we had glorious spring time weather.  so our family of three packed up little snacks and ventured around the corner to enjoy a picnic outdoors.  we happen to think logan is truly enjoying picnicking in logan circle {or at least her parents are}.

l & me.

today, logs and i ventured over to the hirshhorn {where logan had her first metro ride!} to check out the exhibit - suprasensorial: experiments in lights, color and space.  since logan is fascinated by lights these days, i thought it would be a fun exhibit to take her to.  plus it was interactive and she kept holding on to the long, blue plastic cords and tried to put them into her mouth, to which i promptly tried to stop her.  we don't need anymore germs thank you.  it was a beautiful morning, just l and me.

tummy time.

easter goodies.

on logan's first easter, she received many goodies from the easter bunny, gram/pawpaw and omi/papa, which included clothes, teethers, books and a stuffed animal.  {this is probably the only year we can get away without any candy!}  here are few shots of us opening her goodies.

easter 2012.

over the past few easters, we have created a wonderful little tradition of attending church and enjoying brunch with our dear dear friends the cheeks and the buckleys.  this year, we had three more babies to add to the tradition.  it was a lovely lovely easter celebration.

four.

{april 5, 2008}

dear jeffrey,

wow babe - four years ago today we said "i do" to each other. {even though we have been together for 13 (!) years this summer}  this time last year, we had just found out that we were pregnant.  i can say without a doubt that this year of marriage has been the best yet. your support during nine months of pregnancy and these past four months of parenthood causes me to love you even more.  i always knew you were going to be an amazing father, but watching it come to life has been incredible.

i can't wait to see what the coming years will bring - more love, more travel, more adventures and hopefully more children.  and i can't wait to experience it ALL {the good, the bad and the ugly} with YOU.

i love you babe,

your wife

sr reunion.

yesterday, my sweet friend and previous co-worker - lesley, hosted a lovely brunch for some sr ladies and our newest additions!  it was a wonderful morning of catching up, swapping stories and enjoying each others company.  thank you thank you lesley!

our weekend getaway.

jeffrey and i celebrate four years of wedded bliss this week {april 5th!} and made plans for a weekend getaway to celebrate.  wonderful omi and papa were here to babysit the nugget {and play!} while we were gone, so it was a win win situation!  we headed south to virginia to check out some local wineries and see monticello.  we also stayed in the coziest of little cabins at the barboursville vineyards.  the weather was spectacular with everything in full bloom including tulips and dogwood trees.
