Wow! Where has the time gone?!

I guess the fact that I haven't posted since January gives you a small idea of the craziness that takes place in our house daily, and how little time I have to do such luxuries as spending time on the computer. I underestimated just how much time it would take to work full-time, take care of our 3 kids, our home, and get my master's degree all at the same time while training for a half marathon...I must be insane.

So rather than try to recap the past 4 months in photos(which is a bit overwhelming since I got a new camera for Christmas!), I decided just to pick somewhere and go with it, so here's Easter!!!

Ludwig Family updates...

The cutest Hawk fans around were pretty excited about the Bowl victory! Especially Reese...

Reese LOVES her new busy ball popper she got for Christmas(thanks Aunt Angie!)!

We started "drinking" from a sippy cup...mostly we just like to chew on the spout with our new tooth that is poking through on the bottom row!!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

We have the best daddy ever!!! Thanks for being so much fun Daddy, we love you! Sydney, Bennett, and Reese

Daddy loves cheesecake so we made him a toffee crunch cheesecake for his birthday cake...yummy!

Snuggling on the couch after cheesecake...so warm and toasty!!
