March Update!

Life is fully on!  I haven't had a chance to take a moment to write.  Not that there hasn't been fun or not so fun things going on, just priorities have been elsewhere.  Here is a recap on what we have been up to:

March 18th weekend: we took a real break and went up to Erik's work friend's cabin, Matt.  BOY, was it gorgeous!  So Scandinavian!  He did this place right!  We had 2 beautiful days and took full advantage.  We went to Grandfather Mountain one day and then to the upper and lower Linville Falls.  We ate lunch at a cute Ma and Pa resturant that covers 3 counties!  .

Elan REALLY riding his tricycle these days.

Elan feeding himself :)

Ms. Margaret - she is awesome!  She is Elan's speech therapist specializing in hearing loss.

Finn and Elan put their names on their doors.

We built the Ark of the Covenant out of Legos!  (not to scale :))

What I get for laying down a few minutes... I said "Finn why don't you guys play blocks" Finn "no mom, we want to sweep".  I thought SCORE!!!  Nope, they moved ALL the stuff from the playroom to the entryway to "sweep" but didn't quite get around to sweeping...

Cookies for Cancer 5K.  They even had a mini horse!
