Our playgroup met at the children's museum today, so Kate & I decided that would be the perfect way to spend a rainy day. We hadn't been there in a long time, and I had forgotten how much Kate loves it! We were there for close to three hours, and she would have probably stayed for longer if I had let her! But I was getting hungry, so we headed to lunch at the Old Fashioned. I snapped some pictures at the museum with my phone, so they're not the greatest, but they show how much fun she's having! I feel very lucky to live in a city with so many great kids' activities; it sure makes staying home with Kate a lot of fun!
And, on a totally different note; I am 20 weeks today! Halfway there! Kate is so excited for her little sister or brother to come.(She thinks it's a sister; she loves talking about little Genevieve). She kisses my tummy all the time, saying, "I love you baby!" She is so curious; she always wants to know what size the baby is (I have an app on my phone detailing that; today, for example, it says it's the length of a banana) and she is obsessed with watching videos on babycenter that detail the baby's development. It is ridiculously cute how excited she is. She is going to be the best big sister! I'm looking forward to being a mom of two, but yet it's been just the two of us for so long (during the day that is, obviously Dan is still a part of our family, ha!) and I have enjoyed that one-on-one time with her so very much, so I am making sure to enjoy every minute of these last 20 weeks where it's just my Katerbug and me. I'm so blessed that I've gotten to be home with her these past 3 years!

Spring Fun!
Here are just some random shots of Kate over the past couple of weeks. We are so excited that it seems like winter is finnnnnnallllly over and spring is here! She still takes ballet on Monday afternoons, and we have music class on Tuesdays, and Tiny Tots dance class on Thursdays. We usually see Meghan, Adelaide, and Alden once a week, too, and then we joined a playgroup back in December so we go to those activities regularly, not to mention the library, the zoo, open gym... overall we are quite busy! But I love it; I am so blessed to be able to spend my days with such a sweet, spunky, loving, intelligent little girl; every day with her is so amazing. Staying home with her is by far the most rewarding thing I've ever done! It's amazing to me to see how much she learns, grows and changes on a daily basis; I can't believe three years have gone by!

Happy Easter!
Kate was so excited that Nana was here for Easter; we had so much fun during that week! Lots of dining at our favorite restaurants, movie nights, and, of course, Easter egg hunts! It was cold for Easter (ugh) but there was still a hint of spring in the air, so we could tell that winter was coming to an end.
Examining the goodies; bubbles, Hello Kitty hair elastics, a Kelly doll (Barbie's sister or cousin or something), Dora nail polish & lip gloss, two books (Strawberry Shortcake's Easter Surprise and Duck & Goose, Here Comes the Easter Bunny!), and of course a chocolate bunny
