Way too long

No excuses here...just have not made the time to sit down in the craziness here and update...but I want to...so here goes!  The past few months have been a little crazy with me working at the church but pulling a little double duty while we were searching for another full time person in the children's ministry...thankfully we found her...so my load is lighter...thank the LORD!  The Beckner gals are busy busy...and so much fun...and so exhausting...and so much fun!

Our little Bryn moved into a big girl bed last month.  Just like we did with the older two, she moved straight into the double bed!  She did not miss a beat...she loves her big bed and does not get out...a huge blessing! 

These are really out of order...Here the girls are ready for one of 2 Easter egg hunts we did at Bebe's house over Easter weekend!  This was so fun to watch...they were all really excited!
 Cutest bunnies ever compliment of Bebe!
 Out for a family Easter lunch!  Bryn and Reese are both wearing dresses that my sister and I both wore when we were little...I love things like that!
 I have such mixed emotions about this picture...my incredible grandmother, Myrl...words and pictures can not do justice to the amazing woman she is.  It has been a year since she had a massive stroke...and things are so different...but one thing that is the same is her heart for God.  We have been able to see her a few different weekend over the past 2 months...and every time the girls sing praise songs with her...and she sings and says thank you over and over.  Moments I wish I could capture forever!
Jason's Dad and family came into town back in March...the girls were beyond excited!

 We also had a great visit from Uncle Chris, Aunt Andrea and drum roll....BABY NOLAN!  The girls were sooo excited for everyone but Baby Nolan took the cake for sure!

 I am sure he left our house with girl overload!

 A little trip to daddy's office and then playing at Railroad park

The weather has been so nice the past few weeks...so I have jumped at the chance to eat out here...(selfishly the clean up is way easier).  This time of year we love our backyard...the girls "explore" every afternoon.

Time with the best daddy as we headed to a Spring Festival...our weekends are filled with Festivals, birthday parties, yard work and starting this weekend ballet recitals!

 One weekend in Atlanta, my sister and I took the girls the the Georgia Aquarium!  I am so thankful that she came with me...it is a HUGE help to have an extra set of eyes and hands in all of those people!
The Beluga whales are a favorite exhibit by far

 The girls in their matching dress from Aunt Caitlin and Uncle Jonathan
 A picture that is totally what our little Hads is like...always in princess dresses...always singing or talking...and having fun!  The other day I told her that her princess dresses were not the best things to wear outside...she said "but mommy then how will everyone know I am a princess?' - point taken
 Speaking of our Hadley...she had her school Spring musical last week...so cute.  Typical for her...she stands on a chair most nights and performs for us the entire thing...but at the actual program she was a little shy at times.
