March 19, 2010 - Sad baby girl

my poor baby girl was so sad that their new "pets" (worms)were gone this morning. I told her that it was too cold outside in their bowl of dirt and that they crawled back in the ground where they would be warm. She cried big crocodile tears. This was after she calmed down some, but was still sad...

March 18, 2010 - Beautiful Spring Day

It was a beautiful Spring Day so the kids headed outside to play. They've been playing in a big hole that muttley (aka: Molly) keeps digging up, but today wanted to play in the sand box.

A little while later I heard them screaming and ran to see what was wrong. Nothing was wrong, they were screaming because they were happy...they found DAPHNE! Daphne spent the winter in the sandbox. Abigail has been so sad and looking everywhere for her. Caleb is the hero, he's the one who found her.

First he started the rototiller

We have this tree in our backyard that Ryan had damaged the roots on when he ran electric to the outbuilding. The top of the tree has been dying for several years and now its moving down the tree. We were worried about the kids playing out there, and the potential of it falling on the house, so it had to come down.

March 15 - Morning snuggles and Easter decorating

The kids love it when Daddy is home when they wake up...they run right to him, forget about Mom. Abigail had her arms wrapped tight around his arm.

(not "great photos" thanks to early morning/poor light, but they capture what I wanted)

Caleb likes to show his missing tooth in all his pictures

Later I pulled out the Easter eggs and we cut wire and got the eggs ready to hang in the dogwood tree outside. We also put gel clings on the windows but I forgot to get pictures of that. :)
