Spring Break Memories

Last month for Spring Break, we headed down to Destin for a second visit. The weather didn't cooperate quite as well this year, and poor Emmy got terribly sick, but we still managed to have a wonderful time away together, all 11 of us! :) It was a bittersweet trip though, one that we will always remember because on the morning we left, we found out that Josh's Grandpa Baker had passed away. With heavy hearts we headed home, sad that Grandpa was gone but also relieved for him that He was truly Home. Here are a few pictures of our precious time together this year on Spring Break....

One year ago....

Emmy was in her first big play!! Last Spring our little actress was asked to play Chip in the high school play, Beauty & the Beast! She loved it and had so much fun! She even had lines, which she nailed! She so proud...and so were we :) Way to go Emmy Jane!!

The cast shirts...

Emmy's name was included too ;)

Emmy was even invited to the cast party!

Cracker Barrel Memories :)

Over the years we have met Papa & Grandma numerous times in Lafayette. It's a great halfway point for us both to celebrate birthdays or just an excuse to get together for lunch/dinner together. And we always seem to end up at Cracker Barrel, it's even a given now. We enjoy the food, and especially the rocking chairs out front where we can visit and play together before getting back on the road. And I love that the kids will have these special memories with Papa & Grandma :) Here are a few pics from our most recent Cracker Barrel get together ❤

Daddy/Daughter Dance

Emmy and Josh had their Daddy/Daughter Dance this weekend and they had SO much fun! They even got to go out to dinner first with a group of 6 other little girls and their daddys :) Here are a few pics from their big night out together ❤
