We are so thrilled to be adding Tracy to our family. They got engaged on March 13 and flew to California (from New York) a couple of days after that. Everyone was excited to celebrate with the newly engaged couple. We had a great party and grandma at papa's house...full of love and lots of laughter. The kids had so much fun playing with each other...we need to get together more often! We can't wait to hear more details of the upcoming wedding as they unfold. Again...we are so happy for you Ryan and Tracy! Congrats and we love you both so much!

We were so excited to see Uncle Ryan and Aunt Tracy! The girls were thrilled! They even got matching dresses (for their dolls as well!). Thank you so much for the gifts and for making the effort to come all the way from New York...we love you so much!

March 17 was a fun day...St. Patrick's Day and Riley's 5th birthday! Grandma and Papa came over with corned beef and cabbage, and we provided the dessert (of course). It was great to celebrate together, and Riley and Megan had so much fun. Ethan is doing great...going with the flow. He is able to sleep though just about anything at this point...we might just get a good sleeper! We are so enjoying the 3 kids...lots of work, but I can't imagine life without them...such a blessing! Riley is so excited to be 5, she has been waiting so long. Time is going by a little too fast for mommy right now. We have to enjoy every minute!

We had such a special Sunday night at Grandma and Papa's house celebrating the March birthdays. Grandma and Uncle Gary's birthday was March 15 and Riley's 5th birthday is March 17. The party was princess themed and Riley said to Grandma..."this is the best night of my whole life!" Aunt Sue and Uncle Frank were there for the celebration all the way from Oregon. They were so very generous and kind to help Riley celebrate her big birthday. Aunt Sue was a huge hit with the girls...we wish they lived a little closer to us! Uncle Gary (the birthday boy) and Aunt Candy were also there...we feel very blessed to have lots of family close by...we all love it. We are looking forward to Uncle Ryan and Tracy's visit this week...more birthday celebrations I'm sure. Hope everyone has a HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY! ...and happy birthday to our special 5 year old girl!

Dress up is the girls new obsession!

Let's take a bow...

The girls dress up and put on a show for us almost every night. Megan follows her big sister around like a little puppy dog...she loves her so much! Poor Ethan...he might be prince charming in one of their productions very soon.
