I thought Megan and Chloe looked so cute this morning that I had to take their pictures. Emma looked pretty cute today too but I was half asleep when she left. 
Looks like these two are excited to go to school today!
Megan had her first semi formal this weekend. She went with her friend Paige and had a great time. 
Happy Monday!
This picture right here is the reason why I started blogging. The years when Emma, Megan and Chloe were little went by in such a blur. This picture represents one of the every day moments that I love so much. I just wish I knew what we were talking about when I took the picture. Megan was about 2. Emma must have been off at school, Chloe was probably sitting in her infant seat or napping in her crib. I don’t remember. I’m sure Jon came home on time that night, we helped Emma with her homework and I made something barely edible for dinner. I’m sure the 2 littles acted crazy as they did every night before they went to bed. I’m sure Chloe watched from her little seat and took it all in. I’m sure that I crashed in bed that night exhausted from taking care of 3 babies all day. I wish I would have blogged about it then too. I have these pictures scattered throughout the house and some home videos that I can look back on but it’s the conversations and real moments that I wish I could remember.
Today Jon will come home a little late, the girls will have homework that I can’t help them with and I will cook something completely edible…..I’ve improved over the years. They will still act crazy before bed, because that’s what kids do. I will still crash in bed tonight because I’m busy taking care of my 4 gorgeous, growing girls all day long.
I will continue to take pictures of the girls eating lunch, although I’m sure it wont be pb and fluff with a Hi-C juice box. I will continue to take videos and record all of our moments because it’s something that I love to do. I will continue trying to help with homework at night, I will wait with dinner done every night for Jon to come home and I will enjoy their craziness at bed time for a few more years. I love having all of these memories to look back on. I love watching them grow and I’m excited for their future. I just wish it would slow down a little. I’m starting to think that Motherhood should come with some sort of warning label.
Why yes, I do have other children. Why do you ask?
The other night while Chloe was at her guitar lesson and Emma at her away tennis match and Megan at her lacrosse practice, I got to spend some quality time with little Lucy at the playground. 
We’re all so happy that spring has finally arrived!
Jon and I started walking together a couple of weeks ago. Last year we took the kids with us every time we walked. After about a week of Lucy whining in the stroller we gave up. It’s been so nice and peaceful this year, just the two of us. Last night we walked to the pond. It’s about 2.5 miles up and down hill. It’s a great workout!
It’s been great date walks! We even saw an owl
This morning we did 5+ miles of up and down hill. Now I’m tired and sore! Looking forward to tomorrow’s walk though 🙂
I have a million “favorite” things to do with my girls. One of my top favorites is taking them to Build a Bear Workshop. When Emma was in 3rd grade we went with her Brownie troop. A week later I took Megan at 4 years old. I waited until Chloe was 4 to take her too. Yesterday was Lucy’s turn. She had such a fun time!! She picked out a puppy and named her Pinky Pie.
Here’s Lucy, excited to go! 
Megan, Chloe and Lucy worked hard on their Easter eggs this year. It started with Lucy spilling pink dye all over the table but once that was cleaned up she got the hang of it. 
Sunday was the town Easter egg hunt. In the snow with hundreds of kids and not enough eggs. Lucy had to run with the big kids this year and was really disappointed to only get 5 eggs. We thought she did such a great job though! 
Guess who made the Varsity Tennis team at school! 
This little girl! This picture was taken when Emma was 10 years old!! She was getting ready to go to her first ever tennis camp. I’m thinking that she probably wont let me pick out another white skirt and pink shirt for high school tennis 🙂 I’m really looking forward to all the spring sports this year!! Between tennis and lacrosse, we’ll be busy!
I thought it would be a nice idea to let Lucy sleep in this morning so I had Megan and Chloe walk to the bus stop by themselves. I got a “Come on Mom, we’re just walking to the bus stop” when I took my camera outside this morning. 
I watched them walk all the way down and waited until the bus showed up before I went inside. I’m nutty like that.
In other exciting news, I got my Kitchen Aid mixer yesterday!! I can’t wait to make some bread and pasta with my new toy!! 
Sitting down to dinner with my whole family is one of my favorite things! Jon has been coming home early every night this year and it’s been great! The other night while eating dinner I ran to get my camera. Everyone smiled because they know that I don’t have a problem taking a picture of them with their mouths full. Megan laughed and said “you’re a weird mom.” I explained to her how she will love to look back and see us all sitting around the table together. I would LOVE to see a picture of my brothers and I sitting around the dinner table. So here’s a picture of “Taco Monday”
In other news, I’m excited to know that the man who handed me my high school diploma could be our next Pope. Praying for Cardinal O’Malley.
I love my chalkboard in my kitchen! I try to put something up there once a week for my girls to read. Anything to encourage them into trying something hard or something about enjoying their young lives to the fullest. This morning I found this on Pinterest and just LOVED it! 
I sat in jury duty for the last couple of days watching this broken family. It really was sad. I can’t help but think, if someone would have been a positive influence on this young mother maybe her life would have turned out differently.
