We went to Richmond for Easter, for a visit with Regan, Ryan and Indie...along with several other members of the family! We arrived Saturday afternoon, along with my mom, Russell and Nana. We decorated Easter eggs and grilled out for dinner. It was a little chilly, but we still played in the backyard and the guys had fun playing cornhole while the kids ran around. Sunday morning Barb, Deb, Haley, Kylan, Brian, Tessa and Ethan arrived and we had brunch and an egg hunt in the backyard. Afterwards we all went to Easter on Parade, which is a fun Richmond tradition. It was a gorgeous day, and the streets were packed...which meant great people watching checking out all of the Easter bonnets (on people and dogs!). We also saw Kristy, George and Peter Appleton (friends of mine from Wisconsin who just moved to Richmond)...and it was great catching up with Kristy and finally meeting Peter! The cousins all had a great time together, and we look forward to seeing them again soon in NOVA for the MS Walk.

Keira's big girl room
Keira's room is finally done - complete with a big girl bed. Up until now she's been in a toddler bed, so we moved her up to a trundle bed. This way we have an extra bed for visitors! Liam also got a new bed (and painted room)...but it's not done yet, so those pics will be coming shortly. Keira loves her finished room....and I think it turned out really cute. The pics don't do it justice, so you'll just have to stop and see it for yourself!
Looking through the door in to her room
From her bed, looking towards the door. We kept her toddler bed and turned it in to a "couch" which she loves to sit on and read. And we figured she could sleep on it and there'd be two beds for adults in her room with visitors.School Photos
The school photos the kids took a few weeks ago, turned out great! How they got Liam to pose, I will never know :) I know I am biased...but they really should be paying the mortgage. I updated their pics to the left with some new shots as well.

Visit from Gramps and Grammy
Gramps and Grammy came up for a quick visit last weekend, and it was nice to see them and catch up. The kids had a great time playing with bubbles in the backyard, reading books and taking a long walk. (and Chris and I were able to get some stuff done in the house!) The kids and I look forward to visiting them in a few weeks and going to the aquarium and alligator farm. Actually, I'm not sure who is more excited about the animals...my dad or the kids! :)
