A Saudi Sandstorm, End of Mat Leave, and MJ's First Passport Stamp

It's finally the weekend after a 3-day work week, and we are just catching up on some family time and relaxing. So, here is this month's blog post :)

In the very beginning of this month, we had a really bad sandstorm, and school was cancelled because of it. I was still on maternity leave, but James got to stay home with us for the day!

Getting better at smiling but still hardly any hair ;)

Mommy time!

The social committee at our school put on some Easter events. The whole family participated in the 2.5/5K Spring Fling run, and Molly Joan finished her very first race (in the stroller, of course!). Shortly after the run, we went to the Easter egg hunt, and after that, there was a delicious Easter brunch picnic.

All done my first race!

Somebody ate too much Easter candy!

Something else that happened this month that I am super stoked about is that my sister, Amanda, got engaged!!! It was such a surprise and an adorable engagement story. Ask her for the details <3 We are really looking forward to that wedding!

So sad but true, my maternity leave ended this month. After 10 weeks of spending all of my time with Molly Joan, we both went back to "work." At exactly 10 weeks old, Molly Joan went to "school" (daycare). The daycare is right on our school campus, and so far, she has participated in a fire drill and a lock-down drill, and she got her first yearbook picture! We are very fortunate that she is so close to us during the day when we have to work. She seems to really enjoy the daycare!

We had a 4-day weekend this month, and we went to Bahrain. It was Molly Joan's first international trip and first passport stamp. She is quite the little traveler. Hopefully, our trip home this summer will go just as smoothly ;)

We have exactly 7 more weeks of school left and a corn hole tournament to attend this afternoon. Molly Joan, and her BFF, Byron (born 8 days apart), are going to be the corn hole judges :) We think about the summer everyday, and we can't wait to see our families in Michigan and Philly. We love you guys, and we miss you so, so much!

Stay stoked.
