It is hard to believe my little girl is 4! It is absolutely unreal how quickly it has all passed. So unreal, that it wasn't until my sister-in-law sent out invites for their son's birthday, which is a week after Eleanor's, that I realized I better pull something together. We literally texted my family to come over for pancakes the next morning, because I knew they would all be around and they are all local. That, and our family keeps getting bigger and our house is the same size, so fitting both ...

Easter 2015
Lately, keeping up with life seems pretty tricky. I haven't had a handle on laundry for months. My house seems to live in a constant state of disaster. Even if it is cleaned, that barely makes it 24 hours. I have felt more exhausted with this pregnancy than any of the others. I've barely touched my blog.
