March 2013 Photos

Or should we title this post "Surviving A Long Winter With Toddler?"
That seems more accurate.  Here goes nothing...

Experimenting with watercolors

Gwen loves Auntie Dee

At a birthday party for Phil

This picture raises my heart rate a bit

Our landscape (for six months!)

Effective technique for snow-eating

Happy times

Assisting "Baby Arleigh" in many indoor stroller rides

Starting to refuse looking at the camera (also pictured, the ever popular play-food picnic)

Praise the Lord for play-dough! (The thing to do when nothing sounds fun)


Window stickers with Yia Yia

A special lunch with Papou in between trips

I was studying the Old Testament Tabernacle and tried to recreate it
(Don't look too close at the brazen altar, it's off centered. Oops)

When the Word comes alive...

New territory: booster seats

One day this became a strategy for vacuuming 

Dance. Parties.

Coffee and Nokomis walk with our friends

Playing with Willa in the basement construction zone at Hincks

Pet Store!  This was a highly effective place to get out the house with Gwen.
Buy some cat food, discuss many creepy rodents/reptiles, look at fish and we're good to go!

That was fun!

Just keeping it real.

Cousins!


Zoo time with our friends Will and Auggie

Helping Bert cut some wood

Just reading her Bible after nap

MN Zoo

Trying something new... The second night she rolled off and UNDER the crib.  I went in when she was crying and I couldn't find her because she was under the bed, back against the wall.
And that's when we decided on adding a bed rail.  The life of a parent is all trial and error right?
 
Lovely ladies in Easter dresses

Reading with "Aunt Bef"

Uncle Barry

The types of things that happen when Daddy comes home from work

This was a fun date night!


Serious toddler accomplishment

Love this face

Dancing together


Tickling legs

Visiting Jami and Drew in Duluth for a day.
It was such a privilege to see where Jami works 

Out to lunch

The boys were busy breaking the ice by throwing huge rocks,
and we were enjoying the feeling of sun on our skin!
