What we did this week

Spring break went by so slowly. We are all so grateful. Ryan has 2 more weeks of work and then he is done! He has worked 20 hours a week for almost his entire law school career. He will spend his last month in law school just being as student and focusing on preparing for his last finals! Those 20 extra hours a week are going to feel foreign! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! (can you tell I'm excited?). Life is only getting crazier around here. This was a good recharge week for all of us.

Here are some pictures from the week!

first (steady) time in the jumpy! Before this she would just lean over and have her face smashed up against the toys. Now, she is interacting with the toys. Her feet are still inches from the platform. 

first pony! Doll face. 

on our way to Target!

playing Princesses with Daddy on a Sunday morning.

Panera for dinner.

fancy hair! 

Brinley wrote "Mom" after I told her what letters to write. This one was easy because we were practicing writing M's and she is a pro already at making circles for the O. My heart melted a bit when she proudly held up her accomplishment. 

Yes, Ryan and Brinley went back to Panera the next day to get more shortbread cookies. We are addicted.

Pizza night!!!

Library time :-)

story time

we love playing with LEGO. 

impromptu ice cream date. Brinley's face KILLS me. She is crunching her sprinkles. haha!

Look at that squish eying Ryan's cone! She made a few quick leaning attempts at getting a taste.

Squishy squish

Friday, we FINALLY got Ellie's passport completed and so naturally, we celebrated with some 5 Guys. I had to document my one-handed burger eating.

Thumbs up!

Brinley's first 5 Guys burger. She usually gets the Kosher dog, but asked for the burger this trip.

Whats a weekend without a trip to Walmart? 

and some naps too.

Brinley's first Lunch-able! That sucker was $2!!! No wonder why my parents never bought those for us, but only for special occasions. I don't blame them! 

Just a sister moment I caught on camera.

St. Patrick's Day pancakes! yuuuummmm

the back of Ellie's head always makes me crack up.

Squish at church

We had a fun week! Ryan has a great time at his class and feels really relaxed and recharged to finish the semester. We are getting closer to locking down a place to live in Stuart, so that's exciting! We are still a bit early for the places we are looking at, so hopefully by April 1st, we will know where we are moving to! This week really energized all of us. Lots of family time. Lots of time outside. We are all getting excited for warmer weather, and soon family beach trips!
