Lake Oconee

For years now, my mom's side of the family has celebrated Easter at Lake Oconee. It's a really great tradition and always a fun time.

All of the "adults" (I'm still in the kid category for now - that probably changes once I have one of my own!) cook all sorts of amazing food. It's like a Thanksgiving feast at Easter time. Sweet potato souffle, rice casserole, squash casserole, green beans, turkey and ham, asparagus casserole, homemade rolls, apple cake, caramel cake, deviled eggs, and the list goes on. It's pure gluttony.

This year we celebrated a week early because of vacations and Spring Break. Here are a few pictures of the family fun - which included the annual Easter Egg hunt, cornhole, and lots of relaxing. It was such a gorgeous day to hang out at the lake.

The Easter egg hunt is serious business! There's money in those eggs.

Halloween 2014

Kendall went back and forth this year on whether she wanted to be her favorite TV character, Doc McStuffins, or a construction worker. The verdict was a construction worker until about two days before the Fall Parade at Weekday. She was such a cute little doctor! We also got to dress her up and go to our new neighborhood to Trick or Treat with friends. We closed on the new house on October 30, so even though we hadn't moved in, we were able to hang out with new neighbors!  

Baby Girl!

We are 5 weeks away from the due date of our 2nd baby girl. I haven't been as good at documenting this pregnancy along the way. Some of that is owed to the fact that it's the 2nd, and some of it is owed to the fact that I just don't keep up with the blog anymore. But I know I'll want to look back on this time and have some documentation, so here goes nothing! This pregnancy has been a harder one than Kendall's. Or either I just forgot most of the hard stuff from the first time around. I was definitely much sicker this time, from 6 weeks until 15 weeks. I was nauseous all day every day, and threw up most days. No medicines would help at all. I was grateful to reach the point where I started to feel better. I wasn't sure that it was actually going to come! We are nervous and excited to meet this sweet baby. Right now, I can't even imagine having enough room in my heart to love another child the way I love Kendall. So I'm really excited to see how the L...
