We took a trip to Virginia to get a break from the snow – and to see family of course. Plus Mark quit his job so it was a good time to get away and just take a break from LIFE.

It was so nice to be in short sleeved shirts, playing outside, and taking in the sun again! We had a lot of wonderful family time and created so many memories that I doubt I will ever forget.

These two are inseparable. There bond was instant, and I’m sure lasting.

Selfies with Aunt Heather, of course!

See? Inseparable!

Nannie was itching to feed the baby. 😉Superhero Timmy! We tried so hard to not get a blurry picture, but my phone just wasn’t cooperating.

I’ve never seen a family as crazy about ice cream as this family.

One day was just way too pretty to sit inside. Plus the daffodils were in bloom so I had to pull out the camera. Wait until you see these pictures! I am so glad I pulled out the big camera.

I just love the details of this picture. The rolls, the curled toes, the little fingers, the baby daffodils…I could go on and on.

Sometimes you just have to stop and smell the daffodils.

And gear up for family pictures!

We took a walk around Williamsburg on another day. Man, the weather was just beautiful while we were in Virginia!

Sam had his first sleepover at Aunt Heather’s and Uncle Ray Ray’s. We expected to have to pick him up, but we never got the call. So sweet!

The Daffodil festival was also going on while we were there. This was my first time to make it to one even though I’d heard so much about it. It was wonderful! The kids had fun and we met a lot of people…well, I met a lot of people. haha!

Sam’s first pony ride. He wanted to do it again!

We wrapped up our time in Virginia at Busch Gardens, or as Sam lovingly referred to it – Good Bushes. 🙂

Our time in Virginia was gloriously blessed. It was hard to leave. When it was time to say goodbye at the airport I stood with Timmy on my back, holding Sam tightly and crying right along with him. I’m so grateful for the Duttons!
