Random Snapshots

I have a host of pictures on my phone, none of which are really worthy of a post on their own so here is a completely random collection!

 This girl can be a little moody in the evenings after daycare (where she only takes 1 short nap!) so our evenings are spent outside with a pacifier.  It works wonders.  And I'm a little sad but she outgrew those shoes this week.  She had been stumbling over them for a few days and has been walking better since we moved her up.

 Allison & her buddy Annie take swim lessons together on Friday mornings and they are both getting so much better.  It is really fun to see their progress, they can both swim over half the length of the pool (which is an accomplishment considering they haven't been taught how to breathe while swimming yet!)

 We did 'celebrate' St. Patrick's day this year (if you call Lucky Charms, Lamb Stew & Aunt Joan's green jello salad a celebration).  We borrowed this book from the library and Allison loved reading it.

 At the end of her first ride!

 We took Heidi to one of Uncle Tills' favorite restaurants this weekend.  And she was a BIG fan.  Maybe next time we'll actually get to see Uncle Tills there!

 Heidi LOVES the green smoothies Marks makes and for months I've been spooning her some out of my mug.  Today she grabbed the mug and put the straw in her mouth and managed to get some.  She was delighted.  Ecstatic might be the right word - no more waiting for me to slowly spoon it out.  I might be a little excited about this, too!

And today we watched the Beaver Women's basketball team play the first round of the NCAA tourney - it was a nice win.  Now we'll see how they do in the next round, it will be a tough one.  I think this is the first time we've ever let Allison eat dinner in front of the t.v. - sometimes it is worth it, though!
