Aunt L!

Fantastic visit with Aunt L.!  It was hard to let her go.  I had forgotten how those who are not constantly engaged with young children seem to have endless energy for engaging with them!  What a lovely time we all had with her.  When Eden asks a house guest to read her books at bedtime and help get her ready for bed, the houseguest has officially made a positive connection :)  We also had a wonderful evening with the Lists and Eden was flying high after an evening with the man of the house...he was doting on her and carrying her around like the Queen of Sheba and she quite enjoyed this :)  The boys had fun visiting a house big enough to run around in!

Lego afternoon with Aunt L.

We've been boiling down maple sap from our backyard taps.  Yum!  (As long as you don't forget about it...yikes.)

And we have acquired the perfect lazy man's pet:  the neighbor's dog.  We take a walk down the street, the dog runs up to meet us, follows us home, plays fetch with the boys for an hour (and is super sweet and well-trained) and then I urge her to run home, which she does.  Best pet ever!

It snowed today.  T minus 6 to Easter.  Sigh! (Granted, it isn't sticking at this point, but still!)
