Mother's Day at the Carnival

A beautiful sunny Mothers Day and we all hit the carnival in Wilton.

The Girls

A good shot from our recent roadtrip to Maryland.

Tee Ball

The Village Market orange team is storming through the Spring tee ball season in Wilton.  Little number 2 is getting the hang of throwing to first, and hitting the ball.

Springtime in Hagerstown

The flowers are in bloom!

Spring Break Golf in Maryland

The family traveled down to Gigi and Grandaddy's house for some R&R and some warm(ish) weather.  In the week after watching The Masters on TV, Trevor was introduced to real, live golf by Grandaddy!  On the first day, Trev hit the putting green.  On the second day, Trev hit the putting green, the driving range, and then when Daddy joined, all three boys were in the cart and played (some of) the front 9 at Fountainhead.  On the last day Grandaddy even got Trev his very own 5 iron.  He's got the love.

Say Goodbye to Bobbies???

Avery decided this morning, by herself, that today was the day she was a "big girl" and it was time to give her bobbies (pacis) to "Baby Nikki" Todd, who she saw last week.  She put them in a back and whisked them off with Mommy.  This may have been brought on by last night's fire pit party at the Morris' where all of the "big kids" were allowed on the trampoline -- but not Avery!  When Daddy got home from work Avery's first words were "Daddy, I'm a big girl!  I gave my bobbies to Baby Nikki!"

She looked for them at bedtime, but I told her Baby Nikki was so happy, and Avery was such a big girl.  Big Day today.

Ballaleena.

Avery is into Princesses and Ballerinas.  Are we horrible parents, or do some things just happen?

Easter

Aunt Jeanne hosted her annual Easter Egg Hunt - 20+ kids, 440 eggs, zip line, sheer insanity.  Avery got right into the swing of it this year and filled that basket!  For Easter Sunday the McLaurins came over to Wilton and we had a nice Easter brunch.

Magic Show

Trev was in the magic club at school for a few months.  Which resulted in non-stop magic at home and Avery walking around saying words like "disappear" and "ta-da!"
