February - May 2012

Ok, so I have been a huge slacker…I can’t believe I have let so much time pass between updates. It’s difficult to remember what we’ve been up to but here are the highlights: February: I turned 30! Celebrations, celebrations, celebrations! March: Grandma came to visit. Aubrey LOVES it when grandma visits – it probably has something to do with the fact that she gets doted on 24/7! At the end of the month we went to the Easter Egg Hunt at the Arboretum which was a blast. Last year all the eggs were gone before Aubrey could get any, so this year we brought our own eggs. This worked out perfectly. It was a little overcast and muddy but we had a great time. April: Happy Easter! All of our Austin family came up to celebrate Easter with us at our house. We had a nice lunch and good time catching up. Dennis & Martha were newly retired and were filling us in on what they had been up to. It was great to see everyone! May: We had a busy month during May. Mom and I had been working on decorating Aubrey’s new room and her big girl bed was finally delivered. Mom came over on the Saturday before Mother’s Day and helped finish decorating and we were able to transition Aubrey into her new room. Mom spent the night and on Mother’s Day we cleaned out the garage and the extra bedroom and took stuff to the donation box. It is great having everything organized and being able to park in the garage again! My co-worker’s daughter had her first birthday party in May which was a blast. It was at a park and there was pizza, bubbles, and a petting zoo. Aubrey had fun playing with the Paulk twins and all of the animals. Memorial Day weekend was spent outside floating and soaking up the sun – it was perfect!
