It's.... a.... BOY! Here's mama at 20 weeks. Halfway there, folks!

March

March began with Matt's birthday and Maddi's baptism on the same day. We celebrated Matt's day the night before, and throughout Saturday, but that night was dedicated to Maddi. It was wonderful to have so many friends and family there! A week before Easter, we had our Easter Egg-stravaganza with Matt's family. Good times, good times. We then had a quiet little Easter with just our family and made/decorated my mom's traditional sugar cookies. I am a little embarrassed to confess that we have NO pictures from April. None. Nada.

February

Maddi turned 8! (Yes, she wanted Hulk hands...that's our Maddi.) Charlotte was cute.... Keith was creative... And I finally took pictures of the boys' room that I finished 6 months ago... (side note: I got a lot of flack from the paint folk at Lowe's for buying the colors I did. Matt was even concerned. However, it turned out pretty awesome, if I do say so myself. And I do.) :) The rest of us? We were around here somewhere...just waiting for this winter to be over! Spring is on the horizon and I am literally aching for it!

January

We had our first snow....

Charlotte explored her fashion sense...

We celebrated Keith's birthday (he's 6!)...

We celebrated Eli's birthday (he's 4!)....

And Maddi had her first basketball game!

I had to also share this photo from Eli's birthday.

You can't really see Char in the background, but when I zoom in, you see how impressed she was with Eli's gift:

AWESOME. I confess, I click on this often, just to laugh.
