In our 5 years of living in Los Angeles, I almost forgot how beautiful Spring on the East Coast is. It might just be the hope we hang on to for winter to end, but something about the flowers budding, birds chirping and cool warm air makes you feel alive! April brought on new excitement for us; trips to the park, bella's first swing ride, visits to Abmas farm, and the joy of gardening!
The kids are growing up fast, which is fun but unbelievable! Massi speaks in sentences, Bella is climbing up stairs and Nick and l always seem want more date nights. Life is good here in little ole' Allendale.
I feel very behind in blogging and just wish I had more time. I have visions of the day when Bella asks me, "Mommy why did you have a blog for Massi and not for me"? So, with that, I am going to give my heart to documenting her life more and highlighting the fun we're having together as a family of four!
April was a month of celebrations...
 |
| Red Sox Season Began! *these are matching sweaters from Mrs. Brady up in Boston |
 |
| Our friends from South Africa came to see us... |
 |
| Bella turned 8 Months, learned to crawl... |
 |
| ... and stand on everything! |
 |
| We Dedicated Isabella at Church! |
 |
| ... and of course, ending the month with Easter! |
May means summer's around the corner! In fact, it's been so hot here over the last week that Spring seems like it came and went too quickly. Regardless, we're anxious for Crestwood to open and the feeling that summer brings.
Some of my favorite May memories...

Memorial Day is tomorrow and we plan to celebrate early with the annual Allendale Parade followed by a fun day at Crestwood and a bbq with the family. We are blessed to live in such a wonderful place with so much love around us.
