March madness


If you clicked on this link because you thought it had anything to do with basketball then I’m sorry to disappoint (and you also clearly don’t know me very well–you would never want to read anything I would have to say about any sport.) 
 
I had a few pictures floating around on my memory card from the month of March that I thought I would throw together in a post. 
 
I think my favorite type of photographs are the natural ones. Of course I love a good picture of everyone smiling at the camera–but that is so not in the cards for us right now. So while I’m taking pictures of my kids, I try not to say “look at me and smile!” In March, that meant that I mostly captured the back of their heads. 
It was exciting to finally break out the spring clothes and head to a park!

We took the kids to the Sculpture Park for the first time and to my surprise, they loved it

This picture may not be the best but I thought it was kind of humorous how accurately this describes Kingston. Moving so much that his feet are even touching the ground.

We just got through our first sickness of the season–Evangeline was diagnosed with an ear infection and pneumonia yesterday. I don’t think I’ve ever had a more unhappy child while they were sick. Thankfully the antibiotics worked their magic very quickly and she’s back to herself! 

And one more thing–6 months down and 3 months to go until we meet our baby boy!

Lone Elk Park


Until this past week, I had never been to Lone Elk Park or the World Bird Sanctuary. I thought both of those parks would be fun for the boys. So on Monday, without any Labor Day plans, we drove over to the parks to check them out. Lone Elk Park is a drive thru park…which is pretty fantastic for someone who doesn’t have loads of energy. The boys did like it and we did get to see a few animals, but I think it would be beautiful to drive through the park when the leaves are changing, in all their fall glory.

After that, we drove over to the World Bird Sanctuary. We missed the bird show so next time we will plan a little better. The boys still enjoyed getting to see all the different kinds of birds. They said their favorite part was when the parrot said “hello” to them. They were definitely surprised to hear a bird talk.
I did get a few pictures of the kids while we were there (who are far more attractive than the birds)
