A short hiatus

So you might have guessed that I would be updating the blog less often after the arrival of Erin and you were right. However, this can't be blamed on Erin. My sweet husband was attempting to help me by adding more memory to my laptop to make it "faster" a few weeks ago and it hasn't turned on since :-). This has caused me major anxiety for many reasons. The biggest reason is that I am obsessed with pictures of the kids. Taking them, organizing them, looking at them. I am not able to take nearly as many as I did pre-Erin but I still enjoy taking them when I can and I haven't been able to download any or share them. I have commandiered Pat's work laptop because I couldn't take it anymore. So without further ado - here is a small portion of the back log. I'm going to comment as little as possible so I'm not up all night doing this update!

Both Erin and Evan are doing great! Erin is an amazing night sleeper and we are just starting to get into a *very loose* routine here at home. She cries/screams a lot more than I remember Evan crying/screaming but she also smiles a TON more :-) I guess you could say she's all girl already! Evan absolutely adores her and it's so, so awesome to see them together.

Easter egg fun!

Easter baskets. Poor Erin didn't even get a real basket. She got a tiny $0.99 version. Good thing she didn't notice. :-)

Evan in his Easter duds.

Easter

Ma-my set up an Easter egg hunt in the backyard. She is CAH-RAZY and made tiny cookies to put in all of the eggs since Evan doesn't like candy.

Zoo trip

For the record, Evan wouldn't touch the elephant.

Peter, Josh and Julius came for the weekend a couple of weeks ago. We had so much fun! Peter is a SAINT and sent Pat and I to bed one night and stayed up with Erin. She brought her up to eat when she was hungry and that was it! AWESOME.

The boys at the playground....on the BIG BOY SWINGS!! What a difference a year makes!

One month old!

Erin with some of her Murphy cousins....Erin (Murphy), Maureen and Chris!

Erin's first trip to Skaneateles.

Evan inspecting his first "big boy boo-boo" (first one that bled!). He kept checking to make sure the band-aids were still there.

Erin's first headband. I thought she was feeling bad about not having enough hair on top for any of her barrettes so we tried a headband :-)

Finally, it was "dub-dub" night for both E's tonight.

All clean and ready for bed!
