A March of Pictures

March was a busy month of picture taking!  I had grand intentions of getting these posted long before now...but life happened and blogging got a bit delayed. :)  Better late than never!

Here is Isaac "fixing" his tricycle the way he sees his daddy fix the van!

Big ears!

Look what my wonderful husband got for me!  After 5 1/2 years of beloved use, my other Mac was running so slooooowly as to make just about any process an exercise in frustration.  Behold the replacement laptop!  It runs beautifully and allows me to post these pictures for you in a fraction of the time it used to take. :)

A recent peek into the living room revealed this adorable view.

I love, loved having my sister and her youngest baby come for a visit in March!  Since she lives overseas with her missionary husband and only comes back to the States every couple of years, visits like this are truly cherished times.  We saw my grandparents in Cincinnati while she was here along with almost all of our aunts, uncles, and cousins on my dad's side of the family.  It had been around 7 or 8 years since we had connected with everyone, so it was great fun to reunite!

Aunt Katelin was a celebrity with my children during the days she was here. :)

Adoniah and Briana chumming it up on the floor.

Briana is such a precious and sweet baby!

Adoniah's happy face.

Josiah the Mess Pot.  I'm pretty sure if there was ever a contest featuring the messiest eaters, Josiah would win the prize!  He somehow always manages to wear half of what he is eating.  This picture also reveals how desperately our shaggy boy needed a hair cut at the time!

Baby chicks were added to our clan in March! One dozen, to be exact.  We are hoping they end up being hens, like they were labeled at the feed store, so we can have lots of farm fresh eggs!

They were so tiny when we first got them and lots of fun to watch as they ran around the box my husband made for them, cheeping up a storm!

Such soft, downy feathers.

Hungry little critters.

The boys have been enthralled by the chicks!

My kitchen helpers unloading the dishwasher.

A hair cut at last!!!  Now our little boy looks so grown up!

This picture is a little blurry, but Adoniah's expression was so cute, I had to share!

He loves it when Mommy talks to him.

The little outfit he is wearing was a gift from a blog reader when Isaac was born and has been passed down through the boys.  It was made by the Amish. Very appropriate, considering we now live in Amish country. :)

"Take my picture, Mommy!  Cheese!"

Playing with his stacking rings.

Figuring it all out...

Sometimes, he's just too tired to finish lunch.

Spring is here, and I'm so thankful!

It's really fun to see what has begun to bloom all around our yard that we had no idea was there.

These purple flowers are such beauties; it's too bad they are connected to the pesky wild onions overtaking our property and flower beds that we are trying to weed out.

Daffodils in profusion!

The chicks have been growing so fast!  This picture was taken several weeks ago when their wing feathers were starting to come in.

Now they are twice this size with very little down left!

Happy spring everyone!
