MARCH-ed ON!

HOLY DOODLE...what happened to March???
There is still so much to do and  simply not enough time. Seven weeks on Sunday is when we will drive away from our home in Cleveland (tear) and travel across the US to our new home in Washington. We are very thrilled about this next phase of our lives but also sad to say goodbye to such a wonderful place with wonderful people. We have so many great memories of our time here and wouldn't change it for the world.(except this Winter that has been never ending. I really need my kids to be able to go outside and play so I can actually pack). Anyway, here is my catch up of March.

 He looks super chunky from this angle. He is 10wks old and Vienna has given him some flare

 Our 11 week old stud

 Everett couldn't be any sweeter and fits in with our family so well, considering he is identical twins to Lincoln just 21 Months apart. He is super duper happy and content and seems to be very alert and aware of his surroundings for being so young. Being a mom is so much fun!

 Lunch on Easter plates - they are good buddies most of the time.

 Everett's first blow-out at 9wks of age. I love pampers swaddlers!

 Lincoln is quite the artist

 I tried 4 times to get a good picture, this is the best one....

 Outside playing in the never ending snow.

 This is not a common scene, but he was having a really tough time the other night and so I just layed with him and this is what Mike found when he got home from Basketball. Aww!

 Playdate with our friends Zoey and Tessa

 Vienna is still learning lots at preschool.

 St. Patricks Day - fun Greeness!

 Vienna is taking swimming lessons to calm Mommy's nerves (and Grandma Peggy) about us having a pool.

 Tot Aerobics with Vienna while she was on Spring break this past week was nice for Lincoln. He is really having a tough time watching us pack up and seems to have attachment issues. He will not put his snuggly down for anything and normally its just for sleepy time. He won't go to nursery either, hopefully that will change once we move.

 Ball time at Tot Aerobics

 Vienna's art. Very abstract.

I can't get enough of this wild hair my little lady has. When it is tamed it is adorable but if not, it gets pretty out there. She is so excited to move to her new house and be close to Grandma and Grandpa. She also is counting down the days until her B-day. I am so excited for her.

Trying to Stay on top of it all...

THERE IS WAY TOO MUCH GOING ON RIGHT NOW!!!!

Mike is striving to get all his requirements completed for graduation

We are trying to pack up the house, de-clutter and plan for a garage sale

Everett is 8 weeks old

The kids have gotten sick way more this Winter than ever

We were looking to rent a home in Tri-Cities, but are realizing now that its a buyers market which means...

We are trying to get approved for a loan, search for houses from a distance, debate on whether one of us should make the 4 flight, 3 hour time change trip for 3 days or if we can make such a big purchase all through skype, email and the reliable opinion of family and friends.

Keeping up with the day to day activities of life with 3 small children...meals, laundry, cleaning, playdates, birthday parties, nail clippings, baths...you get the idea.

Sleep...enough said

taxes...

Anyway, my point is clear, there is too much to do and much too little time.
