I am hoping that everyone had a great Easter last Sunday. The boys had a blast hunting eggs and fighting over them. They looked so cute in their Easter outfits. Once I had them dressed, I stepped back and looked at them and realized just how fast time goes. They are no longer babies. It seems like just the other day Zach was in the NICU after being born. Now we're looking at celebrating his 2nd birthday this year along with Noah's 3rd. Oh how time flies right before your eyes.  I wanted to post real quick to tell about our day on April 4th. This is the day our sweet friend Erin Nolen was to take our spring pictures. I was a little nervous of how I would be, because this would be the first pictures taken of just myself and the boys. We woke up that Saturday morning and I wanted to try to keep our normal routine on track, so Noah and Zach would be ready for 2:45pm. Needless to say, they were perfect angels the enitre time. Not one break down the whole shooting session. They enjoyed having the freedom to roam around, look at people, flowers, sit in the swing, etc. As Erin did her thing, capturing the boys in action, I stayed back and just watched them with tears in my eyes and a hurting heart, because of Lorie not being able to be there. There are a couple of pictures where I am looking up saying to myself, "look at us, baby, we're making it and as hard as it is without you, I'm doing it". The pictures turned out great and once again, Erin did an amazing job! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
