Zoe

It’s been a while since we’ve gotten to visit with Zoe and see little Maddie, who is already 14 months! So we planned a quick outdoor visit this weekend to drop of Christmas presents, catch up, and meet her new chickens!

  • Little Maddie
  • Lauren, Maddie & Sophie

Maddie is in full toddler mode, moving around the yard and following Sophie and Lauren around. Zoe got the chickens a few months ago and they’re big enough for their own coop in the back. They’ve just started producing eggs. Of course, as soon as we left Sophie requested that we get chickens too. While it would be nice to just go out back to grab some eggs – I’m not sure Petunia would be so good about not eating them 😉

It was a quick visit, but so good to see them again! It’s been a tough year not seeing family as much, and especially knowing that we won’t see everyone at Christmas, which also makes these visits all the more special.

This year’s spring break was pretty low key, and it was also really nice. We did a tour of the Mid-Atlantic – visiting the Townsends in Maryland, staying a few days with my family in Virginia, and then ending the week in Rock Hall with the Sharps.

We stayed with the Townsends in their new house, which is beautiful. All three girls get along really well, but Bella and Lauren are especially close.

Then we hit the road down to Charlottesville where we stayed for a few days. The weather was mostly beautiful and we took full advantage spending a lot of time outside.

Ari and the girls also get along really well, especially Ari and Lauren who are only a year apart.

We spent the last few days of the week in Rock Hall, where the weather was beautiful and we were able to hit the beach one day, and where I also neglected to take any pictures.

And we ended the week off with Easter brunch at Torresdale with the Sharps, Zoe, and Elliott.
