Happy Easter!

We've had quite the rainy Easter, but I managed to get a few pictures indoors. If the the rain clouds ever clear, I plan on taking some outside shots of her in her Easter dress.

Tanner wore her super special smocked dress from the fabulous Marcia Strickland this morning. She got many compliments as we passed through the halls at church.

She had no morning nap in the nursery at church, so it's been a fairly rough afternoon at our house...she went to bed at 6:45 p.m. (an hour early).

Bed Head

This is our "I just woke up from a nap where I was squished into one corner of my crib" look.

Outside fun is here!

We are so excited that warmer weather has arrived (except for the random 50 degree day here and there)! It is has been so fun to begin to break out the spring/summer wardrobe :)

Our fabulous neighbors bought new swings for their swing set and while they were at it, they bought this one for Tanner. She loves it!

Bowhead

I finally gave in.

The ratty bangs hanging in her eyes pushed me over the edge. I've begun pulling Tanner's hair back with bows. I have nothing against bows, just preemptive bow use that requires adhesion to the head - mainly, because I don't have time for cleaning up that kind of mess. Thankfully, she doesn't even notice that it's there and doesn't try to yank it off her head (like I probably would have done).

If I had a dime for every time I've heard a stranger say, "Look at all that hair - she needs a bow", I could buy a grande vanilla soy chai latte at Starbuck's.



P.S. Shortly after I took this photo, she squished up all the remaining bites of avocado on her tray making a very interesting form of guacamole with small bits of puffs and cheese mixed in.

Spring has Sprung!

We are so excited to have warmer temperatures and longer days. We've already spent some time in the yard...
