:: Blogs - google reader to bloglovin'

Not sure what you use, but for the past few years 

I've been using Google Reader to check out the blogs that I follow.

But starting July 1st, they're closing it down which means we need to find a new site to use.

I've heard good things about Bloglovin' and so I decided to switch now.

And thanks to Gimme Some Oven and their tutorial,

I was able to switch all of my blogs I follow without any issues.

:: Embrace the Camera 04.04.13

We decided to take some photos today.

Anson is 3 weeks old tomorrow.

Reese found a sharpie.  Is it that obvious?

And Ava now has short hair.

Me?  Well, I'm still trying to get used to having three kiddos.

But life is good.

Happy Thursday from the Smiths!

:: Free - April desktop calendar

I found this month's free desktop calendar from Brooke Witt Art & Design.

I love it!  It's so springy.

You can find it here.

:: Easter

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter!

We were able to attend church (the little man even made his first appearance) 

and then we had an Easter feast with family.

We're so grateful for the life of our Savior, Jesus Christ 

and the impact he has had in each of our lives.

:: Little Ones - a greeting from the white house

A few years back, I posted about how to get a

"welcome to the world" note from The White House.

I'll definitely be doing this for Anson once I finish his birth announcement.

No matter who you voted for, it's always cool to get something in

the mail from The White House, right?

You'll need to send the announcement to the address below:

White House Greetings Office

Room 39

Washington, D.C. 20500

{On the back of the announcement, put the name of the baby, name of the parents,

 address you'd like it to be sent to and the baby's date of birth.}

We've done this for both of our girls.

What a special note to put in their baby books!

And I hear you can do this with wedding invitations too!
