April 2012

In April, we were lucky enough to have a family friend take some super cute pictures of

 Jayda & Lilly at Huntington Beach Central Park. 

Easter was in early April and we were back in Virginia. It felt so good to be back with Daddy.
Russ was able to get us tickets to go to the Easter Egg Roll at the White House. He had to meet with the Brazilian President that day so he couldn't come. but I braved the cold, early morning, and long lines and took the girls by myself. Normally this wouldn't seem like a big deal, but I was big and pregnant and miserable. I was contracting every 3-5 minutes and each step I took hurt pretty bad. It was a TON of walking and my body hurt after for nearly a week, but it was so worth it! What a cool experience for the kiddos to get to enjoy Easter festivities at such a special place. Take notice of my belly...it's one of the only shots I have of myself pregnant!

Here are the girls & Russ on Easter Sunday.

It was also fun to see Uncle Austin on a billboard right in TIMES SQUARE! 

And on the back of US WEEKLY! It's seriously CRAZY to have Jayda see her Uncle Austin on the back of a magazine that a lady was reading in line at Wegmans!
