I have two months to post this time around. I just never got to March. It's not that I forgot, I just didn't have the time. By the time I could post, it was already April (tossing my hands up In the air). I figured I'd just combine the two.

March and April were quite busy - from moving to getting a new pup, then from my grandma to my mom. It was busy and emotional.

March 2015:

I'll keep this one short since it was over a month ago now.

Top Row: We got some great spring days in March. I love seeing the flowers bloom. We have a magnolia tree in our yard and cherry blossoms all around. Love it.

Middle Row: Asha entered our lives at the beginning of March. And I've been taking lots of photos of her - see more here.

Bottom Row: Work was busy. Our company hosted a Women's Leadership Panel and I was in charge of food & drink. My work team signed up for a 5K, showed up, saw it was pouring rain, and ended up getting brunch instead. And Josh and I enjoyed our first fire in our new fireplace.

April 2015:

Now onto April! It was a busy month. It started with Chicago and family. My Grandma Ruth passed away so I went out to Chicago. Since it was over Easter weekend, I got to be with family for Easter. We went to my Uncle Chuck's church, Messiah. I got to see my cousin Jenny and her family.

Of course, there were Easter lilies and I thought the Java with Jesus was pretty funny!

While in Chicago, I saw lots my O'Neill family. We stayed with my lovely cousin Erin and her family (middle). We spend Easter dinner with my Uncle Mike and Aunt Ann (left) & family. And for the first time in a long time, all the cousins were together (right).

And I got to spend Easter with my parents and sister, too!

We got some Of my favorite Chicago bites. Lindsay, my sister, and I had a few hours to spare one day for lunch, and headed to Top Chef winner Stephanie's restaurant, Little Goat Diner (left). I was sure to grab a tea latte from my favorite tea spot, Argo. (middle). And of course, got some Frango's (Macy's Frango shop, right) - a Grandma Ruth favorite!

As I mentioned, Lindsay, and me had a few hours to getaway to downtown Chicago. Some good sister bonding time.

I just got my camera (I left it in Chicago by accident - ahh, I felt so lost without my camera), so I'm seeing the below photos only now. I will try to post about those few hours sometime soon. They were a fun few hours.

Josh and I tried some new restaurants this month that were crazy good. We enjoyed brunch at Brunswick & Hunt (left) - we were originally headed to Fat Hen, but the wait was too long for our rumbling tummies. Then we had a romantic dinner at Damn the Weather (middle). We enjoyed EVERYTHING - that includes drinks, salad, dinner, and dessert. We went all out and it was sooo worth it. See me biting that rib? That's me chowing down at Bourbon & Bones (right). The food was meaty and delicious. Oh, and we did have bourbon, too.
