March

 So March flew by and Spring has slowly made its way to Charlotte.  We had a fun month full of grandparent visits, a birthday celebration, St. Patty's Day and other fun occasions. Here are a few documented happenings.

 

This picture is proof that Haven can indeed sit still for something she approves of (in this case nail painting).  However, if Grandma had been trying to clip her nails or change her diaper this child would not have sat here so calmly.  She knows what she is about at the age of 21 months.

 Magalicious turned 6!  (I know I can hardly believe it myself.)  Daddy, brother and Mr. Charlie went to her school the night before and got to paint the rock out front.  It stayed her special rock for a whole week before another student repainted it. That's her school in the background. 

 This guy continues to be incredibly goofy and sweet.  He loves to make silly faces, put on shows and will talk to anyone... anywhere... anytime (but only about Mickey, Super Heros, or the like).

 Haven truly is becoming a little "girl."  Her mullet has grown long enough to pigtail it and she loves it.  She watches in the mirror while I do it.  She is so funny.  She still loves to dance and be held....constantly.  And her recent obsession is ....babies!!!  Thank goodness hope that one sticks.

 Also, Haven has moved to a big girl bed!  She has done great and will wake up quietly in the mornings or after nap and play quietly with her toys. 

 St. Patrick's Day was especially fun this year as we were in Ireland last Summer.  The kids had plenty of Irish gear to wear and enjoy.  The picture above is of Maggie's "tour of Ireland," which took place in the back yard.  She even did some Irish dancing for her classmates as the big holiday approached.  We went to the parade Uptown and were delighted to see the Kilkenny flag being flown among others.  We felt slightly more Irish this year and it felt darn good.

Maggie's school year will be coming to a close in only a few short months.  We will miss greeting her at the bus stop, but look forward to having her home with us full time!
