They came to visit and laugh and rest and meet Mark.

meeting Mark was a success! 

 

He was enthralled with his cousins and particularly Uncle Scott.

 

These three were inseparable, ok, Mallory didn't want to do ANYTHING without them 🙂

Then we discovered a new science museum in "our neighborhood"

Such fun to explore the water area! Mallory delighted in playing with the Otters. Appropriate enough as her parents are smitten as well.

 

 

Mostly it was GREAT fun for Mallory, we will be going back LOTS this summer.

 

On our last afternoon, we headed to the library, another destination we all enjoy. We loaded up on Aunt Alice and Hadley's reading recommendations. I was WOWed by the concentration and focus Mallory showed, when I read to her, she tends to play all around me rather than pay attention.

Thank you sweet cousins for coming and playing and staying. Thank you for sharing your spring break with us, we are honored. We love you and can't wait to get to be together again.

Friday was BEAUTIFUL and we got to spend it with some favorite friends. I can't tell you how funny it was to watch these 3 year old girls trying to "pass" each other on the sidewalk–hilarious!!

Such a cutie!!! She's so proud to be wearing her sunglasses 🙂

This is the ONLY picture I got with all three kidos in it 🙂 They were all going in different directions most of the morning.

 

Little brother wasn't going to miss any of the action, thank you very much!

Thank you Ms. Melinda, A & D for having us over to play so often-we love your family!!

Some of my pansies didn't make it through all the snow and Mallory was thrilled to help replant before our cousins arrived.

 

Watering in the flowers is always a highlight. Thank you for your help sweet girl! 

Can this sweet baby really be 12 weeks old??

Not much change in our boy's life. He's still sleeping (or sleeping again) 11-7/8. His 2 month immunizations threw off the sleeping schedule. Still loves his big sister and gives her the BIGGEST smiles. Still our super sweet little boy love.

Sadly, I didn't get Mallory dresses in time for the pictures this month either! oh well….

A little late posting these, but I at least got them taken on time. I am hoping to take pictures of Mark and his bear around the 15th of every month. I had a hard time choosing between the green chair in the nursery or the brown one in the family room.

 

After I had taken several shots with Mark and his bear, Mallory asks, "These are just about Mark?" So we took a few with big sister-and wouldn't you know it, then Mark smiles :) 

 

Next time I will get BOTH children dressed first 🙂

 

some cute feet 🙂
