Jen's Baby Shower

Jennifer is due with Baby Ashley Jayd Lyons in a few short days. 

Jen's sister threw the lovely shower at Gladstone's on April 15th. (The original location, Duke's, was flooded by those crazy rain storms that hit Southern California). We chatted, laughed, ate, drank, and enjoyed possibly the last girls' get-together we'll have without half our clan attending to a bunch of precious babies.

The original OOII gang! 

Diana, Jennifer, & Tanya

The girls all grown up (one just had a baby, another two are pregs)

Jen's sister is pregnant too!

Life's a Beach!

Many weeks ago now, our good friends came down to our neck of the woods, or shall I say our neck of the coast, and spent some time at the beach house. We took their 4 children for the night so that our friends could get some much needed alone time.

After cleaning up all the toys, the "little beach" looked desolate. Who knew 4 kids and their beach toys took up so much space?

Please Forgive Me/Us

Surprisingly, the life of a 3rd grade teacher and school therapist is one that is busy. I'm not ignoring the blog, I've just completely forgotten about it all together. If I have had a free second it has been spent laying in bed for an extra sec, catching up on all my Ellen shows on DVR in fast forward, or trying to finish "The Book Thief," which I started reading like 4 months ago (embarrassing).

Time has definitely gotten away from me/us. The alarm goes off at 5am and most days I don't get home until 6pm-ish.  I've been absent from the blog for so long that even my brother commented on the influx of posts. I will try my best to catch up as quickly as possible on all of our happenings here at Sitting in a Tree. Stay tuned....
