April Adventures

April is always a busy month! My organizations annual meeting is always in April and takes up a good chunk of the month. 

We started the month celebrating Passover and a lovely Seder at our house. Of which, of course I didn't take pictures of! Next year!

The Superhero fascination continues but I have to admit I may have given in to it a bit. Batgirl & Batmommy save the world!

Poor Jakey. Had a sick day and fell asleep waiting for me to come back downstairs. 

Allie joined in when she got home from school.

Allie and I headed out to celebrate Ryan's 1st birthday! Allie and Hailey were the princesses of the castle. 

And then there is this guy! Happy Birthday Ry-guy!

Allie had a pajama day at school and was beyond excited to wear her Elsa nightgown. Turns out Millie was excited to wear hers as well!

We were excited to "shower" our friend Andrea in anticipation of her baby coming soon. The moment we found out she was pregnant I put all our baby Georgia stuff aside for her. I loved putting together these goodies for her and to pass on the magic yellow "basket" to her. I hope it gives Andrea and baby as many restful naps and nights as it did for us with Allie. 

At classmate Yonah's gymnastics birthday party. Note to self: Never plan a birthday party during nap! 

Sometimes they're so sweet together!

Allie's Audrey Hepburn moment. Doesn't everyone look like this as a soccer spectator? 

Sharing snacks and toys with Max Rapaport.

Our Soccer stud!

In a moment of temporary insanity I agreed that we should join friends on a trip to Sea World in San Antonio the weekend before my conference which is also in San Antonio. So after our conference work day on Saturday we headed to San Antonio to meet up with the Helfman, Chitre and Martasin Families. 

We met them at a fun Mexican restaurant with plenty of margaritas which probably let to the acceptability of "tortilla face".

 Our little brunette trio. Sweet friends Allie, Mila & Livi

Once we were back at the hotel we changed for a PJ party! It was a good thing it was a noisy hotel. We went through a few bottles of wine while the kiddos enjoyed some stories and some Netflix. 

The next morning!

At Sea World!

Watching the Sesame Street show! The marketing between Sea World and Sesame Street was incredible. Evil geniuses!

Down in the "mash-pit" to do a little dancing with Elmo & friends.

 Jake and I rode the Shamu roller coaster. So fun to see his face!

Merry-Go-Round!

Alex rode the slowest ride in the world with Eli and Allie. They however...loved it. 

And of course we saw Shamu. Watching the kids faces during the show was amazing and totally worth the crazy weekend. 

While I was at my conference Alex was sweet enough to send me these pictures of these sweet faces. 

No wonder I was so very happy to get home!

We had a visitor from Eugene later that week. We were happy to have Jan stop by on her Texas tour for the night. Allie especially took right to her. I think Allie knew that Jan was one of Mimi's best friends. She said it was almost like having Mimi here. 

I got to see Jake at his Sports Day. Love watching him in his element --so cute!

Looking forward to May! See you then.
