March phone photos

Well, another month has come and gone.  No, not April - that's come and gone too - but we're still looking back at March, a cold and fun month!  Here are a few of the great highlights from our phones:

Solana has been super into tea parties lately!  It has been so fun.  Here, I've been invited to join Solana and Doggy for a tea party, with ice cream cones!  So fun to see her creativity and imagination.

One of the definite highlights of March for Adam and Solana was going skiing in Virginia!  It is something Adam has wanted to do for as long as we've lived here, and the long, snowy winter finally gave him the chance.  (He actually drove up with a friend in February, and got to the resort to find that an intense ice storm was creating conditions with ZERO visibility and the entire mountainside was just a giant sheet of ice.  So, they turned back.  When Solana found out that she had missed a chance to go, she was very sad, so Adam was determined to take her next time.)  They were joined by Grammy, and it was wonderful to have her along.  They built this snowman during a little ski break.

Grammy and Solana were both very proud of this snow-girl, who Solana named, not surprisingly, Alla, her random name of the month.

Solana is becoming a great little skier.  This was her second time, and she is really starting to get the hang of it!  We can't wait for her to keep getting better and better!

Adam is getting to be a better ski-teacher too!  (It was only Adam's third time skiing, actually.  He is much more of a snowboarder.)

Solana's favorite part was riding the lift.

Here is the whole ski group!

Solana improved even more once she got set up with the ski-tow set up.  She was really flying on her own!

Cruising down the hill!  Great time skiing!

Bedtime is always actually a pretty smooth routine lately - the kids really support each other when they get tired!

Here, Solana is building a dinosaur fort out of some packaging styrofoam - always creative!

Solana with her friend from school, Macaroni, who spent the weekend with us.  Macaroni did all kinds of activities with Solana, including ballet and shopping (below), and Solana wrote about it in her journal for school.

This was the first warmer day of the year - hard to believe!  We excitedly went to the park and enjoyed the sunshine!

Boston LOVES brushing his teeth.

Carpooling.

Adam, Solana, and Boston met up with Grammy and Grandpa for a trip to the Virginia Aquarium in Virginia Beach!  It was a really fun day!

We sold our dining room table, and while we waited for our new one to arrive, we had about a week of all sharing the kids' table!  It was pretty fun to all crowd around that short little table.  The kids loved it!

Here's Boston - sometimes he's just as sweet and cute as a little puppy.

Happy March!
