The Boys...

Sleepy Mornings, Carnivals, and Brother time!
The boys are getting bigger every day and they bring so much joy! It's exciting to imagine them in a few years, playing and...maybe a little arguing, but just being best buds. We are so blessed. Happy Spring!!

Owen Richard

I am definitely a little busier this time around and to add to the distraction of having a two year old as well as a newborn our camera broke soon after Owen was born. Needless to say, I don't have as many pictures of little Owie as I'd like- but this adorable shot was captured via cell phone (thank you Verizon!). I can't believe how big he's gotten, it seems so much faster than Aden did. His cheeks are my absolute favorite, I just love to smooch them. He's 6 weeks now and completely adapted to our little Daugherty routine. He is a wonderful baby and I am enjoying every second of being a mommy for another little boy. We finally got another camera so I'll be sure to play some catch up with picture taking...I'm sure he'll love it! ha ha!

More Easter

Easter Easter Everywhere!
Easter was definitely more eventful this year. Aden actually understood how to run around and grab eggs (even from his cousins' baskets!) and open them to find candy and other treasures! It was really fun to wake him up to his first real Easter basket like I remembered doing as a kid. The funny part was trying to explain why the Easter Bunny came to give him toys when we were really celebrating Jesus. I'm sure many parents before me have traveled that road, but I have to say my sorry attempt at an explanation was quite hilarious. Travis got a kick out of it anyway! Unfortunately Owen couldn't quite enjoy the egg hunt yet, but he did get some adorable jammies from Nanna and liked being held by every aunt, uncle, or cousin in the room! It was a very nice day. We felt very blessed and were reminded of God's love in so many ways.

Easter Egg Hunt

Easter Egg Hunt
We headed to Gaither Family Resources this morning for the annual Easter egg hunt. There were a ton of little kids and thanks to Aunt Amber's genius it went SOO much better than last year. (When we found ourselves barricading one egg for Aden to try and pick up while the older kids trampled the younger ones!) This year they had areas designated for different age groups and Aden was loving the fact that there were plenty of eggs to grab and put in his, of course, basketball basket. It was a beautiful day and a fun memory. More pictures to come of our boys tomorrow on Easter...blessings!

Nanna and Bumpa's Visit

Nanna and Bumpa and Claire came this week on their way home from North Carolina. They were excited to meet our newest addition and we had such a great visit. Aden and Claire were two peas in a pod and played all day long. We had beautiful weather and all got to hang out in the yard and take a long walk to the park. Ahhh...when will spring be here?! We love you Nanna, Bumpa, and Claire. Can't wait to see you again soon!!
