Madison never falls asleep anywhere but her bed. One morning last week I came down for a break from school with Katelyn and found her wrapped in a blanket sound asleep.


Katelyn has enough "girl" in her to enjoy a good pampering! This is how Brad found her on a Saturday afternoon.








Tyler loves to "read" and Madison would NEVER pass up a chance for someone to read to her. They make a good team.

Family Hiking










We went hiking as a family a few weeks ago. It was a beautiful day and the kids really enjoyed getting out. We didn't see any snakes, but I saw a snake skin.

Playing in Snow

It started to snow while we were at church Sunday night. Brad and the kids went out at 8:30 and built a snowman.





March Snow

Just one week after posting a picture of my daffodils ready to bloom, we got 3-4 inches of snow! I was expecting an ice storm sometime this month-that isn't surprising-but actual snow is almost unheard of! The kids LOVED it! BTW- it is supposed to be back in the upper 70's by this weekend. I love SC weather! (for now! I'm sure I'll change my mind in July)

Katelyn




Katelyn is growing so fast. It is neat to see different personality traits coming out in her. She's got my perfectionism and Brad's creativity. She enjoys school (especially math) and can be found doing creative "projects" all the time. That usually means sneaking into the classroom and making a mess!
