Happy Easter!  We had a fantastic end of winter/start of spring.  March was the busiest month ever!  We celebrated sweet baby Margot's first birthday in style with our Ooh La La French party.  She was a huge hit and had a blast.

We took our 10 year anniversary trip (just a wee bit late) during spring break.  Big, huge thank you to Grandma and Grandpa Marvin for watching the girls so we could go.  We spent the week in Playa del Carmen with our friends Tai and Alissa Ward.  What a blast!

Easter was low key but nice.  Lucy enjoyed her first true "hunt."  We both agreed that she has no killer instinct.  She skipped along casually picking up eggs while the other 4-6 year olds went for it!

Some Margot highlights:
She is standing up on her own!
At her 1 year appointment she weighed 18 lbs, 3.2 ounces (27%) and was 30.2 inches tall (84%)
She is not a whole milk fan but loves yogurt and cheese
She says "dada", "bye-bye" and "uh-oh" but doesn't say much else-she sure does love to chatter though

Lucy highlights:
She had her last ballet class this weekend (she has decided she's more of a gymnastics girl-I agree! She practices cartwheels constantly
We grew our own butterflies this spring-so far we have one!  Fingers crossed the others hatch.
She is obsessed with Frozen (as I'm sure most 4 year old girls are)
She can swing now without being pushed-we are thrilled by this latest development

Looking forward to our trips this summer! Love, The Reids

Happy New Year

Now we just eat the stickers-no more monthly pictures with the sticker on!

Happy New Year! The first few pictures are from Lucy's 4th birthday fiesta that we had at the house on November 9.  Everyone had a great time!

We had 3 Christmases this year-the Ellsmore family at the beginning of December, the Marvins on Christmas and then with the other Reids (minus Papa Reid) at New Years.  So much celebrating.  It was a wonderful Christmas with our favorite new present and with Lucy knowing all about Santa, etc.  We are so blessed!

Margot is closing in on the year mark.  I can't believe how quickly this year has flown.  She is crawling all over the place (army style).  We can't turn our backs without her getting into something.  She still has just the two teeth that she's had since she was 6 months old.  She is saying Dada and Mama but mostly Dada-her favorite word.  She adores Cooper and her big sister. :)
