sledding

In late February, we had a pretty decent snow and decided Matthew should sled. At first he was totally apprehensive, but as time went on and he got used to Chris pulling him around in the sled, he braved down a small hill. He loved it!
William felt so left out, we thought he should give it a try too. The outcome was priceless. Here are some pictures. Just look at Will's face. So funny, but Matthew was really protective and held on tight.





So then Chris had to use the snow blower to clear the driveway and Matthew had to participate. I was terrified of limb loss, but all went well. Chris was just happy Matthew was interested in something more manly than the vacuum cleaner.

March is birthday month, AKA March Madness. Chris and Matthew have back to back birthdays so we do a whole lot of celebrating. Since we had just done Will's Christening, we decided not to do a big party. Chris' mom came in town and I made a cake. Yes, I really made it and I iced it too, which is why it looks they way it does, but it was made with love and that is all that really counts.









William loves balloons. He is absolutely fascinated by them. He looks like a drunk lunatic with his party hat sliding off his head, like he spent the night partying with the balloon in the French Quarter.




Matthew loves singing "Happy Birthday" but it comes out "Ha bur da to yew" He sings it frequently.

We had a great time.
