notaviva

We had another great spring weekend in Virginia! We took advantage of the nice weather, live music, and a gift certificate (thanks Nay Nay!) and headed out to Notaviva.  For those of you who haven't been GO!  The owner is a Park View grad and was on the DIY show Dream House.  I had been once before in a snowstorm so it was nice to go back and enjoy the scenery.  Brandon hadn't been so of course we had to do a tasting and settled on the Chardonay, Calor. Outside we ate some yummy snacks, watched the chickens, listened to the music, and swatted away the gnats...the only downside of the afternoon. Crossing our fingers we've got a few more nice weekends ahead of us!

Adelyn also enjoyed some yummy corn on the cob:)

dinner with daddy

It was always a rule in our house that even if my mom and I ate dinner early we sat with dad while he ate if he got home late from practice, lifting, or another event.  I'm sure at times I was frustrated but I definitely see the value in it now that I have a family of my own:)  So this was our daddy dinner last night because he's been working late on a big job.

As you can see not so much eating and catching up going on!

Spring Break!

I am so lucky to have a spring break BUT (there's always a but right) I could have used another day or two. I am so looking forward to the summer* after spending a week with my little munchkin!  We just stayed around here and did a lot of things around the house, got to sneak in a picnic with Daddy, dyed Easter eggs, spent lots of time walking and going to the park, figuring out the new schedule, and spent time with family and friends.  Adelyn made a few changes over the break, she got a new car seat (thanks Pia & Pops) and we went to one nap (yikes for Mommy!).  She's also getting 2 more teeth...finally!  We'll be up to a big ol' 6 when these two come in....

Few notes from the week:

- Adelyn would much rather have broccoli, green beans, or avocado than pretty much anything else

- raisins are her "candy" and she loves them

- she is in love with "Emo" and every character on Sesame Street is "Emo"

- she loves to brush her teeth after her bath

- Mommy & Daddy were SO happy to put away the singing chic and bunny (thanks to Nay & Grandma) because Adelyn LOVED pushing the buttons every second she could

- Adelyn is her own little personality...doing 'eh' and pulling away when she doesn't want you too close or you to take her things

- We think she is absoultely amazing (of course) and are constantly amazed by the things she knows, the directions she can follow, and the words she is learning!

Just leaning here...took my clip out:)
