March in Pictures

It's been a while since I posted, so I thought I would update with some photos from the month of March.

A day in our house wouldn't be complete without a wrestling match with Daddy. It started as a Tate and Daddy thing, but now the girls like to get in on it too. When Mike comes home from work, some of the first words he hears are, "Daddy, can we wrestle?!?!"

 

I know it is strange, but our kids often eat crackers for breakfast. On this particular day, Tate was eating a Triscuit, when I heard, "Mommy! I made where we live!" I turned around and sure enough, it's the state of Minnesota!

It's always fun when the kids are playing well together, so I thought I'd snap a picture and capture the moment. Really, they play fairly well together much of the time. It's fun to see their different personalities when they play, and when they try to work things out when they aren't getting along perfectly.

Somebody had a birthday this month, so Norah got to go birthday shopping with Daddy and Tate was so excited that he helped Daddy wrap my birthday presents. He told me, "I wrapped the watering can!!!" I tried to act surprised when I opened it.

 

Anja's new favorite pastime is climbing the stairs! She thinks she's pretty great when she gets halfway up with no one noticing!

I remember wearing neon colors when I was growing up, and when they went out of fashion, we never thought they'd come back. Well, low and behold, here's my daughter showing off her new outfit - neon yellow, complete with matching neon yellow socks.

Did I mention she likes to climb?

Tate's current favorite things is Larry Boy from VeggieTales, and he draws him whenever he gets a chance.

When Norah got out of bed, I started getting her dressed, but couldn't stop her before she ran to the living room in her undies to find her Easter basket. I'm a believer in capturing moments how they happened, so here you go folks. This is what Easter morning looked like at our house before we headed off to church to celebrate the Resurrection of our Savior. We have fun with the colorful eggs, but always remember that the real reason we celebrate is because Christ paid the ransom for us so that we can be free from sin's bondage. Praise God! May we remember and celebrate Christ's gift to us every single day of the year.

The cousins came over to celebrate Easter with us. They had fun with an Easter egg hunt in the house. Since there are still a couple inches of snow on the ground, and it's windy and cold here, indoors was our only option, but we had fun! Happy Easter!
