Fun in February and March

We continued to enjoy more and more snow in February and March. Leah and Payson (and actually all the moms and dads, too) had a blast sledding in Payson's back yard. We should really have a picture of Sarah and me (and three babies in utero) laughing hysterically as we sledded from their front yard, around the house, and into the back yard!


I love this shot of Leah pushing Payson in her swing. A very diplomatic little girl, as it soon became apparent that Leah wanted a turn herself!


Birdie came to visit for February break. Unfortunately, her trip was a challenging one - she endured a nerve-wrackingly windy landing in Newark, experienced a lot of pain in one of her knees, and then was delayed again on her way back to Florida. Nonetheless, we always love having her visit. Leah was very compassionate and gave her knee lots of kisses to get better. (It eventually did once she had some fluid drained back in Florida.)

Reading with Birdie and Baby.

Daddy came home with a wonderful surprise one evening - at work he had been given a couple of pounds of fresh Maine shrimp! Leah loved inspecting the "little lobsters." And, she loved eating them, too. In fact, she insisted upon peeling them herself!

Finally, by mid to late March, we broke out the swing for the season. Leah was thrilled! She loves to swing and she's also turning into a great climber at playgrounds! It's so much fun to watch her gain more and more confidence - maybe there is hope for me to get back into rock climbing someday!
