The highs and lows of March

At the beginning of the month we said goodbye to my sister Megan, who came to stay for a week (and one extra day due to the crazy snowstorm!) all the way from Italy. In Megan's words: "My decision to come visit Renae and the kids was one of those last minute, are-you-sure kind of decisions but it was so good for me. We enjoyed ourselves not really doing much other than being a mom and an aunt, but that in itself explains it all. Book reading, shoe strapping, snack feeding, nose wiping, song singing, french toast making, diaper changing, laundry folding."

We adore aunt Megan!


















We've definitely experienced some ups and downs this month with the weather. March began as a white wonderland and was quickly replaced by 70 degree weather!










Aaron and Caleb enjoyed the snow for a long time that first day. Yes, Aaron had the day off because no one goes anywhere when it looks like this.











Caleb got left behind a few times when Aaron was running him around the yard on the sled.

Only a few days later Caleb and I took some pictures of ourselves out in the sunshine. (Caleb is getting pretty good with the camera!) The purple bear is Caleb's preschool mascot that spent a few days with us. We were trying to be creative with "Happy" bear so we could provide some fun pictures and an account of his experience with us. Oh, and we were also flying the kite that Caleb had made at school (a grocery bag and streamers).

These are such great pictures! And it's fun to see you in a few - did my project 52 inspire?

That snow looks like fun. And it lasted just long enough, in my opinion! I love that you have self-feeders, even though it's SO messy! And we have 2 stools too. Sometimes it's just worth having 2! Hope your all better. It's fun to see what you've been up to. The girls are getting so big. I can't believe it's almost been a year since we were there. You all look great!
