March Madness, Part 2: Lancaster

The weekend after the girls retreat we headed up to Lancaster, PA to visit my brother, sister-in-law and adorable niece. My parents, Emily and Caroline also came. We had a wonderful weekend together, the only sad part was it was too short! :(
Alana was very interested in Evie. She liked giving her hugs...IMG_0941.JPG
Patting her head...

Pointing out her mouth (and eyes, but we tried to avoid that one ;))IMG_0937.JPG
Watching to everything she did...IMG_0938.JPG
She was NOT so sure, however, about how she felt having Evie in her baby stroller... ;)IMG_0942.JPG
It was so fun seeing Alana again. She has changed so much since Christmas. She is talking a LOT more and has such a fun little personality! Play-dough and reading are two of her favorite things.IMG_0940.JPG
She has a special reading closet up in her room. She let Nana and Caroline in for a while before closing up shop. :)

Evelyn thoroughly enjoyed the weekend - probably because she got to be held most of the time and got LOTS of attention.

On Saturday we went to an amazing indoor farmers market in down town Lancaster. There were all kinds of spices, teas, fresh flowers, herbs, produce, meat (all grass fed :)), bakeries etc. We had loved walking all around and eating lunch down there. I got some great teas and some yeast to try a new bread recipe from my friend Danielle (who got it from our friend, Liz :)). Speaking of the bread, I tried it over the weekend! It wasn't so beautiful, but it was good! I can't wait to try it again!IMG_0948.JPG IMG_0950.JPGIMG_0952.JPG IMG_0954.JPG IMG_0953.JPG
Mostly though, we just enjoyed spending time as a family - playing games, eating, laughing... I love this piture of all the dads with their baby girls. :)IMG_0957.JPG
We can't wait to visit Lancaster again, especially once Evelyn's new little cousin/Alana's new little brother or sister is born in 8 or so weeks!
