I really couldn't tell you where I've been for the last six months -no where, really. Just busy...raising five kids, working full time, trying to keep it all together. I'd be lying if I didn't tell you that some days I want to crawl back in bed and start over again the next day. It happens...you know, the days I feel like the worlds biggest failure...as a mother, a wife, a proposal manager, a friend. And then there's the next day and the stars seem to align: I wake up before anyone else so I can make it to work before my first meeting and before I know it, dinner is on the table and Lily Kate shouts "Mom, this is the best dinner ever!", and everyone is happily (and impatiently) waiting for their turn to tell us about their favorite part of the day. Those are the days I cling to, those are the ones I cherish.

Easter Egg Hunt at WCRBC...Kevin was trying to get to the candy before the kids did! ;)
Story of his life: waiting on a woman...And Caroline's dress - that's a whole post in itself. But, I decided to take back their Easter dresses that I had had for months the day before Easter. I came home with the new dresses and the next morning while getting everyone dressed, I discovered that I was one dress short. So, Caroline wore Lily Kate's dress (a few sizes too big for her!) and LK wore something different. She was not very happy about not matching her sisters.
