Slipping into Spring

Well, hello there, strangers! I'm feeling particularly guilty about the significant lack of posts recently. If I wait another week to put something here, there will officially be a six month gap. Unacceptable!

Unfortunately, I am in the throes of final exam week. So, rather than update you with a lengthy (and let's face it, all-too-wordy) dissertation on our current events, I'll just cut to the good stuff. I'm sure the pictures can speak for themselves. So here are the highlights for each month since my last entry. Enjoy!

NOVEMBER

Punkin Chunkin 2010: Adam from Mythbusters!


Thanksgiving at Uncle Chris & Auntie April's house.


Cousins ♥


Hanging with Noni & Nono.


DECEMBER

Fun photo shoot with Mommy (unedited)




Eily picking out the Christmas tree.


Christmas morning - the new kitchen set!


Jesse's surprise 30th birthday party:
these people came from all over the country to celebrate!


JANUARY

Eily and her BFFs - Rayleigh & Rory


All this traveling is hard work!


FEBRUARY

Eily discovers her love of cupcakes and singing "Happy Birthday To You".


What does Eily love more than shoes? Using them as wings, of course!


My 30th birthday bash. Eily still wears these tiaras around the house.


MARCH

Eily and me at the Philly Flower Show.


Babyzone buddies! My friend Melissa and her 2009 Junebug, Cora.
(Neither of the girls wanted to look at the camera for us)


APRIL

Playing in the dirt with Grampy.


Learning to play Angry Birds with Nana.


Helping Mémère relax after a long day at work.


Helping Daddy prep the deck, then helping Mommy to clean it.


The best part about spring? Warm weather = ice cream!


Windy day egg hunt.


Eily's newest friend, Keenan.


Forget the coloring, just let me eat the eggs!


Easter at the Hartman house.


Chasing bubbles should be an Olympic sport.


Wow, as I put these together, it's amazing to see how big Eily is really getting. We're quickly approaching the terrible twos around here. I kept thinking she was too young for that, but now that I've had some time to reminisce, I see she really is turning into a big kid. I'll try not to let so much time go by next time - looking at the transformation here must really feel like a blink of an eye for those of you who don't see her everyday!
