March
This picture was done in charcoal by Richard. The art class that he teaches was learning how to use charcoal on a large scale and he felt, as the teacher, that he would be remiss if he did not do a project as well. lol So, in honor of the new Batman movie, he drew this.
We opened the month with mom and Shelby heading off to New York
for a week. This meant that Richard and I had all the kids, our two and then my
four siblings that were left. It was a crazy week but we had a blast hanging
out together. A lot of this last month was getting ready for our trip to India
in June. We had a lot of phone calls to make and visas to apply for.
On the second weekend, some friends invited us over for a
bonfire, sharing a passion of ours with them. We never ended up making to the
actual bonfire outside, but had a blast meeting new people and eating good
food!
We celebrated Easter by going to the Easter Sunday service,
after which we hid eggs inside because it was raining. Dying the eggs was fun
as well. Tannin got to do 3 eggs, writing all over them. For lunch, we went to
a friend’s place where we had a potluck. Some Canadians showed up and found out
we may be distantly related, lol! What a small world. They even brought some
paska, which is Richard’s favorite Easter dessert! While all this was going on
it was still pouring down raining. Us adults stayed under the cover of the
carport while the kids swam in the massive puddles the driveway. Lol Tannin had
a blast running through the thigh deep puddles and standing under the water
that streamed from the roof.
Once the festivities were over, Richard headed off with
Garrett to see Superman v. Batman. While he enjoyed the experience at the
theater, the movie definitely did not meet his expectations. Oh well, at least
Batman won J
Alana did hit some milestones the month. She started
crawling and, almost at the same time, pulling up. She walks around the room
assisted by the furniture or toys. We love watching her play and explore! On
the last day of March, she started climbing…. Needless to say, the stairs are
now gated, lol.
Right as the month was ending some old friends from New
Tribes Bible Institute came to visit. My parents had gone out of town for a few
days, we had an open room so they asked if they could come by and stay a bit.
They arrived late on the 31st and the rest is yet to come… J
