Spring has Sprung!

We are so glad Spring is here! The middle Tennessee hills are turning green and colorful blooms and buttercups are everywhere. Our March didn't start out that pretty though!  We started out a little green on St. Patrick's Day as we all got the stomach bug and then Jason was in D.C. on a business trip for a week. Shoo, that was hard, but we made it thanks to Di Pie coming down and helping us out. Unfortunately, she got it too. We are all about sharing around here!


We tried out a new little pizza dive in Germantown Friday  night. The girls loved it and Mommy and Daddy did too! Pizza 312 made me feel closer to my roots as their specialty is Chicago style pizza. It was supper yummy and I highly recommend it! We took the girls to their first birthday party this past weekend as well. It was in Brentwood and in a beautiful setting, complete with a petting zoo! The girls got to see and "pet" a kangaroo, piglets, bunnies, goats, and lambs. Mary Charlotte was all about it and Elizabeth was much more timid and started groaning anytime we got near a living creature! So funny to see how different they are, same genes, same environment, same 7.5 months in the womb, and yet totally  different little personalities! 



We love the Nashville pedestrian bridge. We tried it out a few days ago and loved seeing the city from a different view. If you are visiting, it's a great place for a Saturday morning walk.



A big thank you to Aunt Denise! She's made so many cute outfits for the girls! We love getting our special packages in the mail. As you can see below, she dressed us in green for St. Patrick's Day, which was our original due date last March.




We are looking forward to Easter and having some special visitors coming soon! Love and Hugs from Nashville and the Beard Babies!



Mary Charlotte just got bit from her loving sister, Elizabeth


Yes, we know it was you, E....

"That's fine," says MC. "I'll get your bow."






Our crazy weather has made it a little difficult to pack away winter clothes! You just never know in Tennessee!





Mary Char and Elizabeth




We both looked the same way!








"What's wrong with this one?" says E.





These dresses are the same ones they wore last Easter. The great thing about Southern gowns! They fit forever!

Blue Dresses

This past weekend, Jason kept the girls so I could go back to Memphis and have a spa day with my girlfriends. It was so much fun to go back and catch up with them. While I was there, I visited a friend that has twin girls. She let me look through and buy smocked handmade dresses her girls have outgrown. We wore the light blue dresses the next day for church. We feel so blessed she shared these with us. We've always admired their girls and family and are so excited to be wearing their special dresses!
