best of what's around - april 2013.

Forgive me remaining blog readers, for I have sinned.  It's been awhile since my last post, and I apologize.  Life moves quicker with each passing day (it seems), and I'm trying to soak it all up.  We survived the Norovirus, the end of my maternity leave, and this seemingly NEVER-ENDING winter (can we get some warm weather, puuuhhhhlllleeeease?!)

Anyway, I've really been focusing on squeezing the juice out of every moment of every day.... and, without further ado, here are some of our favorite things as of late....

Favorite picture of me and Jack on a recent riverwalk  

Favorite picture from Owen's 2 month photo shoot - can you believe he's TWO MONTHS old already?!

Favorite recent playdate with friends - the circus comes to town! 

 Favorite candid picture of Jack "playing baby" - doesn't he look SO old in this picture?!

Favorite chubby baby Owen picture - check out that double chin! 

Favorite picture of me and my little man - both in our suits! - on my first day back to work

Favorite video of jack - especially hearing him share who his best friend is.  SO ADORABLE!

Favorite music as of late - Rebecca Ferguson

Favorite reality show recently - Real Housewives of Atlanta, OF COURSE - the three part reunion was GONE WITH THE WIND FABULOUS (you knew I was going to say that, right?!)

Favorite FUNNY children's books.  Dear Mr. Mo Willems, you are a bright spot in my evening storybook routine! xo, me

Other favorites as of late include:

Love the "stop all this llama drama!" line!

 for our little namesake!

 The sequel to Lost and Found, this one's just as beautifully illustrated!

Jack's favorite toys right now - two big trucks that transport anything from blocks to stuffed animals to his little brother - if only we allowed it!

Owen's favorite toys right now - not that he's super picky.  If it makes noise and lights up, he's pretty enthralled...

My favorite recent purchase - bright blue skinny jeans from target.  They are SO comfy - I could LIVE in them.  If only colored denim was courtroom appropriate.  Le sigh.

Graco Duo Glider stroller in Metropolitan

 Favorite modes of transportation as of late - it's a toss-up between the ergo and the double stroller.  Love the ease and convenience of both!  Images from here.

Ergo Baby Carrier

So there you have it - our most recent favorites!  Hope you have all been having a wonderful April!  We really can't complain (except about this unseasonably cold weather!) All the best to you and yours -- what favorite things are you enjoying these days???
