March Was...

...a month of parties and dinners and co-ops and even a tea and a hike and lessons and another minor surgery (which went well) and a zoo visit and hours spent outsied and Good Friday and Resurrection Day... and so much more to fill up our calendar.  The days were full- they were the days that the Lord had made, and we rejoiced in them!

Sometimes the camera is handy and other times it's not.  But for the times it was, below are some of the memories captured to share.

Celebrating Hadassah & Hannah's birthdays in March...

A pause in the family portrait studio, more photos to follow in another post...

100 pieces of Lego?!  Why 100?

...and 100 paperclips?  Why 100?  Find out why in a following post...

Visiting the zoo in this crazy (yet beautiful) March weather?!!  More photos to come in a separate post...

A morning mountain hike with Uncle Lawrence & his boys...

'Baby' Hannah turned two!  More shots from her birthday party later...

Looking green?  So was my preschool co-op class, eating Irish soda bread for St. Pat's day...

See any rainbows?

Singing a 'green' song...

This adorable preschooler was even wearing his St. Pat's hat the following morning-silly boy!! (He does sort of fit in with the leprechauns, doesn't he? :-))

Spring finally sprung- there were more than 40 Robins searching for worms in our backyard...

Although we soaked up our fill of outside play, March was still full of plenty of school lessons.  Here Selah is showing her crown she made to represent another name of Jesus that we learned: 'King of kings and Lord of lords.'

March 'slowly' warmed up, and by the end we could play outside without all the bundles.  Here Hannah gets ready for the downward plunge...

And what's this?  A pile of wood (always lots of wood, thanks to 'Sandy')?  Or a log cabin?  Or the kids' newest tree fort?

It must be sleeping time in their 'log cabin'...

Is it morning yet?  Time to do the chores! (we must be reading too much of the Little House books:-))
