we celebrated easter mass at topher and teppie's church, and then spent the rest of the day doing a little of this and a little of that- hiking at a local park close to the potomac river, helping with outdoor chores, and cooking up a late-night meal. unfortunately, nana fell as she was getting out of bed friday morning and broke her humerus bone in her arm, so she was relegated to the couch for a majority of our trip. teppie brightened up her view with tulips, which made for a really fun photo prop.
on monday, the girls and i headed to the salon to get hair cuts with teppie. she was able to clean up the girls' chlorine hair from their weekly swim lessons, and give them fresh, shorter cuts for spring. they soaked up the relaxation of the salon, and all the attention that two little girls with plastic bags and heaters on their head will gather. they were amazingly well behaved, and i am just in love with their new cuts.
over the weekend, we were also able to squeeze in a visit with our cousins and their new third baby girl at a fun, local park so the kids could run around. and monday evening, i met up with a friend i've known through instagram for almost 2 years, and since she's a photographer, we had our entire family pictures taken. it's funny meeting someone for the first time who you've only known through social media. we knew so much about each other, because pictures and stories and snippets into our days for the past 2 years tell you a whole lot about a person, but it was still the first time i was "meeting" her. we talked and talked and talked outside a coffee shop before the photo shoot, and could definitely have talked some more.
tuesday morning, we packed up and headed home. the girls were fabulous travel companions and our trip each way took less than 8 hours. and now we're home and getting ourself back to the rest of our spring break week, enjoying these last couple of days before hitting the home stretch of school before summer vacation.
