Today we went on a hike as a family to First Landing State Park. Brooke was a trooper and did well being carried by Mom and Dad. It was a nice time together on a beautiful day.

Brooke Pushing Her Walker
Brooke has been wanting to walk for a few weeks now. She will practice by holding on to our hands and taking a few steps or furniture “walking” as well. We decided to give her a little more freedom and bought her a “walker” so that she can practice on her own.

Garden Girls
One of the perks of living in Virginia is the lush climate. Almost everything grows here. This year Brooke is helping me plant our garden. This afternoon she helped me plan it out then we took a trip for supplies.
Always take your tape measure to the store!
‘I get to do the measuring!’
‘Like this, right Mom?’
Smiling helpful girl.
Laura’s Shamrock Half Marathon
Today was a cold, cloudy, and windy St Patrick’s Day. It was also Laura’s half marathon. She and her fellow moms from Mom’s Gotta Run running group ran together in matching “Kiss Me, I’m a Mom” shirts. Laura did a fantastic job and set a personal record for herself at a time of 2 hours, 5 minutes and 14 seconds. Way to go Laura! AJ and Brooke were cheering for her at the finish line. Afterwards we all spent some time chatting and drinking beer in the after race tent.
Easter Egg Hunt
On Saturday Brooke got to go to her first Easter Egg Hunt. With a little help from Mom she was able to grab her first egg ever. She even got to meet the Easter Bunny and sit in a fire truck too.
