It's Been A While, But I'm Still Here!

It's me, 1LuvnMama!  Just thought I'd refresh your memory since I haven't posted since Wednesday.  Boy, I (and the family) have been really, really busy.  Here's what's been going on . . .

On Thursday, we welcomed my niece into the world!  She is a healthy 8lb. 9oz. baby girl!  She's soooo adorable!  We went to visit her at the hospital on Friday . . .



After that, 1LuvnDad & I took the kids to the Car Show.   The 2 kiddos are testing out the new Toyota van.  We had a long day, but it was so much fun to spend it with the kids!



On Saturday, I got to meet up with some wonderful local blogging sisters.  I will post more on our gathering, make n take and all the goodies later on.  Here's some Easter Baskets that I made for the girls.



Then today, Sunday, we took the kids to the zoo for a birthday party.  It sure was a fun filled day!



I realize that I took a little, mini vacation from blogland, but like I always say, my family comes first!   I enjoy blogging, sharing, and craftting, but my priority is my family.  However, in  my "mini vacation", I did do some crafting which I will post later.  Thanks for sticking with me through my long week/weekend!

Love your beautiful Easter baskets! How I wish I was there with you gals! I will try this basket with another theme since I won't make it in time for Easter!
