April Update -- Spring Spring is Sorta here...

Happy Easter from my little “believers”

The annual Easter Egg hunt is about to begin and I have a hunch I know who is going to gather up most of the eggs!

and they are off… this is the first year we haven’t had to do a staggered start.. although, after looking at this picture, I am wondering if Bella clearly understood the rules of the hunt…

I have been in preparations all month shopping for our upcoming Kentucky Derby weekend. This is my first year experiencing the Kentucky Derby and I am lucky to have a fashionista stylists in my family. Both Ayden and my sister, Jennifer, have been outfitting me. My Mom gave me this special hat that Ayden LOVED and looked smashing in although it was a bit too fragile to bring on the plane with me.

Cape Ann Tour: Fun Family Field Trip Sequel

Went back to one of our favorite towns to tour around today.

Rockport

One of the most beautiful New England coastal towns. It is located approximately 40 miles northeast of Boston at the tip of the Cape Ann peninsula. It is directly east of Gloucester and is surrounded on three sides by the Atlantic Ocean.

I absolutely love this landscape on Bearskin Neck in downtown Rockport…

It is here where the famous “Motiff #1” (the red lobster shack) is located. It is one of the most painted and photographed scenes in America. The lobster shack is no longer in use, but is kept up as a town symbol. During the blizzard of ’78, it was knocked into the harbor, but was rebuilt as you see it today.

The Carey girls! (Minus Bella)

although Rockport is very dog friendly. Every shop has a water bowl out front! My kind of town!

April showers brought keeping it cozy in Ayden’s Cave to read …

Bella is everyones best friend! Our life is so much richer with her in our world.

One of her favorite things to do is “go for a ride” — it doesn’t matter what she rides in or on…

My two pals picked me up from an adult play date with my friend…

Love that summer is around the corner and the final wrap up of school is underway.

Life is GOOD!
