March always starts out with our focus on Caroline's birthday. This year she had some friends join her for a swimming party at the Gertrude Barber Center. It is a fantastic facility in which the pool floor can be raised/lowered to any height. The kids were loving all of the pool toys and being able to reach anywhere in the pool. Their favorite part seemed to be running around the gym after eating cake, you could tell cabin fever had set in!
April brings us Audrey's birthday month. She invited her friends over to share a cupcake with her. The kids loved batting around the pinata - but in the end it took a sledge hammer to really get it open! She's now every bit of 2... flying off the handle for no reason, while her language is jut exploding! She's a little parrot most days, trying to imitate anything we say... Caroline thinks it is the greatest game around. Audrey can say just about everything, but still refuses to say "please". So strange! Oh well, she'll get there.
And in the midst of the birthday madness, we made a family trip to Evansville! It was great for our family to check out Caroline's new school. She's ready to be a kindergartener next fall! Ryan's family joined us as well, they were great babysitters and they got to see our new city. Below is a photo of our new home, 3001 E. Blackford Ave. We are so pleased, and bought it only after seeing it via Face Time. Gotta love technology! : ) It will be home as of the end of June! Now to sell our Erie house... always something.
