Week in review...and it's only Tuesday

Sunday we went to a small local dairy to have some ice cream. Doug proclaimed it his new favorite in the area and Gianna clearly agreed.

On Monday, we found a bunny in the back yard. Gianna loved chasing it and saying "hi bunny" but unfortunately, I couldn't get a picture with both Gianna and the bunny in it.

And, on a home furnishings note, we finally have some. Here are a few pics. Any ideas about what to do with the huge blank wall? I have one picture, but that's clearly not going to do the job! We're so excited to have more and better seating options!

And just so I close with the cutest part of our lives, here are some pigtail pictures. She'll let me put them in, but it never lasts very long. Which is too bad...because look how cute!!

Easter and a friendly visit

I'm a little late, but after a nasty cold I'm finally ready to post about our Easter! Gianna and I visited with my parents (Grandma and Grandpa) during the week and then Doug came down to VA for Easter weekend which we spent mostly at his parents' (Nonna and Pop-pop) with Nick, Elizabeth and Isabella. Nonna and Pop-pop were kind enough to watch the girls while the four of us went out for drinks Friday night and for a nice dinner Saturday. It was a great treat for us and the girls! Easter was not the best day of Gianna's life, but she did enjoy the egg hunt...or at least eating the treats inside the eggs. And we had a lovely brunch that Grandma and Grandpa were invited to, so it was great to see everyone together before we left.

Isabella loved playing with the bubbles...though you can't see them here. She's such a happy smiley girl! We miss her!

Gianna's favorite part of the day (aside from taking her Easter dress off) was eating Fun Dip (remember that stuff?) courtesy of Aunt Elizabeth. (Thanks, Bizabay!)

This week, our friends Meghan and Riley from HBS came to visit us. They live in NYC so we picked them up at the Trenton train station and spent the day together. We really didn't do a whole lot between Riley and Gianna's nap schedules, but it was great to spend time together. And Gianna was sad to see them go the next morning. The girls played pretty well together. Gianna does have a hard time sharing her toys for more than a few hours. Here are a few pictures of their visit.

Friendly Riley was more than happy to climb in my lap for a book and jealous Gianna was appeased by sitting on Riley's lap. So cute!

The girls liked to play "sleep" and "night-night" together on this little blanket.

The girls did puzzles together, but the best pic is this one just of Riley. Love the curls! Visit any time girls!
