I'm back...after an incredibly long blog hiatus, I have returned. I know that you are all glad. Tonight I mainly have picts for you to catch up on what we been up to since the end of January...Chris turned 30, Grace Ann turned 1, we had a couple of pretty big snows that were fun for Hud, Hud has been hanging with his great grandaddy Willie a lot lately (there is a pic of them on the curb together), and we just wrapped up our spring family photo shoot... also, Chris and I went to Nashville for his birthday as a "weekend getaway" and most importantly I made these cookies today for Easter that are the best (and prettiest) cookies I have ever seen (or eaten)...a shout out to Emily for the recipe (Laura - you must make them)...there are many picts for you to see.

Overall, we are doing well, feeling more and more settled here in our new home...but at times still feeling like we haven't quite found our "place" yet, it just takes a while I guess. The children are doing great...Hudson is full of life, so observant, and a huge fan of his sister. Grace Ann is on the move...yep...walking everwhere...she never stops, she is independent, smart, and loves to play...she is also a huge fan of her brother. It's really sweet to see them play together so well and see Hudson be so kind to her. I hope it's always that way.

Hope all of you have a blessed Easter...He is Risen...He is Risen Indeed!
