April Showers

April is passing much faster than imagined and sunny weather continues to be fleeting. Today, Anna and I dodged in and out of the rain as we enjoyed a girls day today while Z helped out my Dad at the house this morning.

Anna and I attended Z's cousin's baby shower (phew) and Anna and I had so much fun shopping around Babies R Us for a present. While I don't miss having to buy all of that stuff, I felt very nostalgic looking at all the baby items that helped (and sometimes didn't help) me with my little baby. What a perspective to see my once helpless infant, walk by herself through the aisles and make suggestions on future purchases for her siblings. Boy, is she ready!

After Babies R Us, we had breakfast at Panera's and I so enjoyed chit chatting with this beautiful little person over coffee. I'm so proud of the young lady that she is and that she continues to grow to be. I also noted what a Daddy's girl she's shaping up to be as well - she couldn't quite understand the female-only exclusivity of a baby shower. She missed her Dad...

For me, it was nice to have her to myself for a few hours and it only allowed us to enjoy even more, the evening with Z. We surprised him with some birthday clothes and a pedicure - and somehow even Anna managed to get her nails done. Suckered.com We then had a lovely dinner and made it to a late showing of 17 Again. Lovely.

Below are some pictures from Saturday - a gloriously sunny precourser to what turned out to be a rainy, picture-less Sunday.
