Where did March go?

March 5- Andrew tied plastic bags to his feet to go unclog a drain in our back yard.

It worked quite well!  Who needs rainboots?

March 6- Going to church

March 8- "Reading" one of her favorite books

March 9- Eva Brooke's birth announcement and snapshot with Dr. Ray are on display at his clinic

My, how she's grown!!

March 10- All I can say is bless Cotton's heart...

March 12- I love this one!  This girl can put away some puffs!

March 13- Eva Brooke is full of life!


In Bible class with her friends Evan, Foster, Charlie, ...

...and Hunter!


March 14- Clapping her hands

March 16- Sweet, sweet girl


March 20

March 21- Sitting "in" her playhouse.  She's now figured out she can go in and out the door.

March 27- The kids' sweet legs dangling under the table in Bible class

With friends Channing, Carrington, Charlie, and Hunter

In her beautiful headband Aunt Deb made.  This, my friends, is the first of its kind ADJUSTABLE headband!  We're so lucky to have such talented and creative family!

Sweet Daddy-daughter picture, I think :)

March 28- Aunt Beth came to visit while she was out on spring break

March 31- Eva Brooke's first playgroup!  With friends Mary Robbins, Caroline, Emily, Charlie, and Hunter.

Our poor, poor peace lily...  If you see its pitiful leaves, now you'll know why!

Happy Birthday, Andrew!

March 25th was Andrew's birthday, and we celebrated after work with our parents that Friday night.

On the menu...catfish and cupcakes!  Mmm that sure sounds odd (but it was GOOD)!

EB with Mimi

We had plenty of babysitters that night! :)

My parents

I wish I was just this good, but Andrew cooperated and "reenacted" the candle-blowing for picture purposes (note- no flame or smoke).  Why am I giving away all my secrets?!  Eva Brooke was a big help and she's taking notes for the big O-N-E in August.

I love you, Andrew!  Thank you for taking such good care of our family!

Andrew got a Colonel Reb for his garden from his parents


The next day, the Crosswhites had us over, and Andrew and Brad celebrated over crawfish.  They also gave him an ice cream cake which was sooo yummy!  I love how Emily's lining up her princesses over to the side :)

We'll say Eva Brooke's blowing Daddy birthday kisses.  Happy 28th, Andrew!

Pulling Up

February 26- The first time I caught her "pulling up"

March 3- Now as soon as she wakes up (whether morning, after nap, or the middle of the night), she stands right up and looks for us


March 5

March 6- This is what scares me!  Pulling up and falling down on the hard tile.

March 10

March 12- And it didn't take long for her to get a little more brave



March 14- I have a little leg rider now

Loves to stand up (with help).  Sometimes she lets go, and forgets she can't do that just yet :)

She loves taking baths!


March 17- Working on this new move

March 24


Loves to put her mouth against things like the pack and play and the refrigerator

March 31

We tell her repeatedly not to pull up on these shutters...ahh...


April 2- So we raise the blinds so she can see outside through the kitchen window.  She likes to watch Cotton play.

When did my girl get so big?!
