This has been quite a month for our family, as April has been for the past 10 years – and particularly the past six, when we’ve celebrated not only Kate’s birthday and Easter, but Sam’s birthday too.
It was touch-and-go at times, but we survived.
We started April off with a long weekend in Nashville, where we discovered my new favorite Mexican restaurant ever.
And – cue angels singing – I found out there is now one in Cincinnati.
Kate was so thrilled to actually see flowers after the winter we’ve had.
The day after we got back was Sam’s birthday. We went to the zoo, where we got completely drenched in a downpour, swung by the bookstore, where Sam pretended to be a Lego…
And then went to the Reds/Cardinals game in Cincinnati. Which was under a rain delay for nearly three hours. Which meant it started at 9:45. Which meant it ended the following Thursday.
We had a great time anyway.
Then came Easter. We decorate eggs at my grandma’s house each year – it’s a tradition. And it also means that I don’t have to learn how to hard boil eggs and/or clean up. It’s a win/win. For me, anyway.
Last weekend we finally had some spring weather, and we celebrated by staying outside as much as humanly possible.
Then it was Kate’s birthday. She turned 10, and I don’t know where my baby went.
April, you were fun, but I am exhausted.

Chuy’s is pretty much the best place ever. I could live on creamy jalapeno dip and Texas Martinis. Do yourself a favor and schedule your next visit on a Monday if you can. Their Monday special- stuffed avocados- are absolutely amazing.
Thanks for the tip! I think I might have to go there every day of the week just to make sure I don’t miss any specials.
Great pics! And I am really not ok with Kate being 10.
Your children are super-photogenic! You had a great month!
Chuy’s is awesome. There’s one here in Birmingham and I still don’t get to go there enough.
