End of March and Meeting More Family

 Coloring on St. Patty's Day.  We love to color and some of us love to color on tables and chairs (eheheh...girl on left).  But it is a great way to spend a rainy day as this was.

 Um, sweetness wrapped in fleece.


We have really been digging dress up and there are some days that get really interesting.  Clare in a tutu  and a bandana around her neck and the inside of a construction hat and Hayden with his tool belt and velvet dress gloves.  


 It was so cold this day.  We were stir crazy and had to get some fresh air.  Spring was taking too long to get here this year.  So we just bundled up for a bit and burnt off energy.


Aunt Rach came in and stayed with us and met Elise for the first time.  Elise even smile at her.  I think they are bonding already.

Elise at 1 Month


 This cutie is 1 month in these pictures.  I love catching the sleeping pictures.  They are so peaceful and
 relaxed.  I'm getting sleepy just looking at her.  Though that's not hard for me to be sleepy these days.  I love her so much and she melts my heart every time she smiles at me.

Sibling Sweetness








I loved these pictures of Hayden and Elise especially.  He doesn't want to cuddle that much and isn't too interested in the baby phase as Clare, very much is.  So when he wanted to hold Elise I got my camera out.  He was being so gentle with her and it was such a sweet moment.  Clare is still plotting how to take care of the baby on her own.  However, you can see its a stretch to get her little arms all the way around the baby.  They both love her but it was sweet to see big brother take an interest in her today.

Elise at 3 weeks




Technically this is 3 weeks and one day, because I didn't get any pictures the day before...oops.  However, on this day she rolled over from belly to back 3 times on her own and she was caught smiling several times at Hayden and Mom.
