Take your children to work day (because people feed them),

They took turns pushing each other on a big kid swing. I’M FREEEEEE.

Look at all that glorious empty floor space! If I took that picture right now it would not look that clean. At all.

3 year old heaven

It is shocking our friends still agree to play marbles with my husband.

That is not her beer.

A block fell on his nose because his tower was REALLY tall

Playing with my piggies

Everything about this photo cracks me up

WINTER COATS BECAUSE SCREW YOU CONNECTICUT

Awwwww, what a cute little ferret that will NEVER EVER COME TO OUR HOUSE

BFFs

Mommy, take my picture!

(Fisheye) Lunch of the front steps

Gorgeous night for a maternity session

Peek a boo?

He takes my appointments very seriously

Can’t wait! Family movie day!

We can’t go to the grocery store without visiting our lobster friends.

STRAWBERRIES

False alarm contractions sent me to L&D and then home again. The good news (?) was I wasn’t imagining it, they could see them on the monitors. The better news is they weren’t doing anything so the doctor isn’t worried. The bad news is this will probably keep happening (minus going in to L&D) until I go into real labor.

These are my “before” flowerpots, but that didn’t stop her from trying to take care of them.

She asked for purple flowers to plant (I don’t even know what these are).

Mother’s Day at Chili’s (again) calls for finger guns

Freezing, FREEZING cold water

The gingers are unphased by cold

So excited about her chocolate frog she forgot to take the plastic off.

She tied that all by herself.

Thank God for iPads (during my NST)

Wishflowers

Pweeeese we swim some more Mommy? Pweeeeeese?

We bought cat food and paper towels and batteries at Walmart. She is hugging the batteries.

Fawkes Phoenix is Evan’s new BFF

Looking pensive about the rain

In case you thought they were GOOD at posing for pictures.

Sleeping Beauty

What is this weather even??

Next year, SHE is going to be coming home on that bus.

Another day, another visit to L&D

When you get the Metro-North seats with the power outlet, you get to play Angry Birds all the way in to the city.

Shake Shack is actually as good as everyone says.

I think our last family picture (selfie or otherwise) was in October. We heart NYC.

Hello New England, you look lovely from the air.

May the Fourth be with you!

Exhausted and swollen but shocked by how much I missed these kids.

Yay Spring!

Caroline picked me flowers

Moe’s was as close as we got to celebrating Cinco de Mayo

Preschool drop off shenanigans

Weirdo is obsessed with this basket

Evening family walk is my new favorite

First of many non-stress tests for Baby #3

They’ve graduated to the deep end (with help) and it stresses me out

Who doesn’t love H&M?

Three going on sixteen

Not mad, just showing off the guns

Super happy Daddy is home

Someone threw money in this statue which only has 2 inches of water in it. I made the gingers put it back after they fished it all out because it felt like…stealing? Ruining someone’s wish? I’m not even sure.

The best ice cream in Connecticut @Mystic Drawbridge

Green

Back in the hospital birthing center, my new home.

Humid weather gives her curls

The sky after the wedding I photographed

Furniture in an orchard. What, that’s not how you spend your weekends?

Evan is “helping” her read a book. This definitely didn’t end well.

STOP JUDGING ME, YOU ARE A CAT.

I was very tempted to just throw that whole pile away, but I mostly put it away. Mostly.

Captain Barnacles and Peso to the rescue!

Who knew applesauce in a pouch was THAT delicious?

Adorable shopping cart sharing.

Making herself at home.

We don’t ACTUALLY live at Target. My kids just get confused sometimes.

Swim lesson shenanigans

Her side-eye is already perfect.

If this is what happens after a 30 minute swim class, maybe summer will involve LOTS of naps.

Goodbye Providence…

Hello Atlanta!

Chocolate fountain = pregnant woman’s dream come true

No YOU cried like 5 different times during the first 4 hours of Mom 2.0

I’ve never had such amazing food at a conference. Parmesan encrusted shrimp OMG.

Fancy hairs courtesy of the Dove suite

High tea at the Ritz. Is this real life? (No)

Fancy award ceremony is fancy

My amazing, beautiful roommate Miranda who I miss so much already

Someone is a little wired on candy at 8 am.

Walking to church helps burn off a sugar high

OH NO I GOT FROSTING ON MY DRESS I BETTER LICK IT OFF BECAUSE I HAVE NOT HAD ENOUGH SUGAR TODAY

Running errands

Running away

The only angle at which my room looks semi-clean

Peeps donut is ridiculous.

OMG A STICK I LOVE STICKS (I think Caroline might be a dog)

My pale, pale feet finally have pretty spring nail polish

My only picture from Wednesday. The whole day was a bit of a blur (BA DUM CHING)

These are her friends who we have to bring with us everywhere all the time. It’s not annoying at all.

HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT TARGET WITH THAT FACE YOUNG MAN

Dinner = world’s easiest tomato sauce

Caroline and I had a morning adventure

Ordering her sandwich all her own self

My children are very attractive.

Just looking at this picture makes me want another cheeseburger.

Calibrating my camera lenses made me insane, but is hopefully worth it.

She was SO whiny we suggested she just go take a nap…and she agreed. That is a tired child.
