April 2013



At the beginning of April we welcomed a new Edwards into the family! Leo is Tom and Emily's third child in so many years (we kid you not...their oldest is 3 1/2), which has landed Tom and Emily into the "certifiable" category in our eyes. We can say that because we know without a doubt they won't have time to read this blog post. Thus far, we have only Skyped with the young man, but we will be meeting Leo for reals when we go on a big ole Edwards vacation to the Cape in July. We can't wait.

Next to bringing life into this world, I suppose our April was comparatively uneventful. The entire family got a week-long stomach bug and for the first time both Helen and Brian were sick at precisely the same moment which made caring for the other two sick humans in our house quite miserable. It's times like those that we long for the days when being sick meant a relaxing day off of work watching Ellen and The Price Is Right.

The majority of April was gloriously warm and sunny so we shook off the winter blues and spent pretty much every day outside, or "ow-dide," as some call it.
