Catch Up

The past weeks have been crazy. Along with our regular busy days, we're in the midst of spring cleaning.  I love having everything sparkling, walls repainted, carpets cleaned, windows polished, clutter gone, projects completed before Easter. Shannon is accusing me of losing a book he just purchased to The Great Purge of 2014. 
I kinda need to wrap up several things this week, though. Despite getting a lot accomplished, on the surface things don't look too changed. I have a horrid habit of jumping off bridges with no plan ~ so projects may be left hanging for a bit too long and Shannon may have to come to my rescue.  

More sibling rivalry ~







Max decided to graduate from the swing to the walker.  
He's movin' up in the world!



Even Nickles is sick of the snow ~
so he decided to melt it one inch at a time with warm water and a hose.
Bet that's not what Shannon intended when he plumbed hot water to our hose bibs. 



Apparently, he needed to rest his feet while drinking his breakfast smoothie ~
And Dom is the worst photo bomber!



Annie & Mike's new pup, Bria.
Nickles is smitten!



Karaoke!



This was my favorite night ever, or at least my favorite night
in the past months.  The entire house was peaceful and that's sayin' a lot!
There were games going on amongst the kiddos,
Kath was playing the piano...
And life was beautiful!







Waiting for Mom to come and finish a card game ~
For a girl that wasn't too sure about a baby brother, 
Annika sure spends a lot of time with little M.



Mmmmhmmm, this was Annika's doing too ~
A real, live baby for her cradle



Daddy is definitely Max's favorite ~



Michaela's first flower from a guy ~
I'm not sure how to feel about that considering she's only 3 years old!



Off to another dance, the last highschool dance together ~:o(



Spring running ~ oh how sweet it is.  
And the meadowlarks ~ divine!
