Our cute and silly in March.
This girl! 
And this young lady!
A very happy Chi!
Super Ems and her brace with her baby and baby’s new brace.
Emmie loved sliding with Ace.
And playing squeeze in the cubbies!
I missed PJ day at Bruster’s but the kids and Mark carried on the tradition.
Zoe was accepted into the Foreign Language Honor Society for excellent work in Spanish 1 and 2 (I did not include all of her other languages on duolingo, mango and memrise).
I managed to eek out two pies for pie day….first trimester struck but I pushed through.
Someone became toofless in March.
Emmie learned that silly faces are fun to make in windows.
The boys busied themselves during American Heritage Girl meetings.
When Malachi got his birthday gift from us, Ceili Rain found one and asked if she could do that for her birthday.
On her actual birthday, she got one something from us and a little something from her cousins.
Papa and Grandmere got to celebrate the day before her birthday.
They got a great tour of the Kennedy Space Center.
They also got to tour the Wycliffe Bible Translators campus. The boys were quite impressed and Zoe was very jealous.
One of their last stops was to visit cousins. These are special cousins to us as they have been praying for us and Emmie and our adoption for so long. So grateful for Facebook to get to know them and then for an opportunity for Liam to visit them and see all of their amazing plane memorabilia!
As Facebook is wont to do, an ad appeared in January that grabbed my attention. I totally succumbed to the click bait and fell in love. With my new found fondness, I created a 
Emmie pregnant with a ball. Funny as it is, this was right before we found out I was pregnant. She cracked me up walking around with this ball under her shirt.
Born a fighter and cute!
Getting ready for a night at the theater. Our local college put on Camelot and four of the nine wanted to go see it. They all enjoyed it and only Malachi slept through the second half.
All kinds of cute.
Static Slide Hair times 3.
I took four of the kids to see Winter Jam this year. They occupied themselves in line by drawing in the sand.
Everyone enjoyed it but Silas fell asleep towards the end.
Speaking of falling asleep. She is precious when she crashes on me.
Zoe won the t-shirt design contest for her local AHG. They’ll be modifying it to work on an actual shirt but I thought she did an amazing job.
Two cute kiddos reading books. Note Emmie’s crossed leg to hold up her book!
Emmie rocking her new outfit made by moi!
Mark took Zoe, Ace, and four of Zoe’s friends to cash in on her birthday gift….a trip to Mastermind Escape Games. They had a blast and escaped with five minutes to spare.
I had to get Emmie this dress that reads, “I’m a super hero.” She totally rocked it too!
Are we excited or what?! Actually, she went through a phase in February where we would say, “Smile.” And this was the result. We now get a half a smile.
A quick picture before we hit the road to go back home…my poor photography skills.
The next day, though, I caught her silliness along with a Bryant photobomb.
Plant Therapy is our go-to essential oil company. I don’t use oils religiously but I love to have them on hand and when I remember, I don’t mind looking up mixtures for things here and there. I love Plant Therapy’s honesty and transparency and purity of their oils. Aside from that, I have struggled with where and how to organize them. Plant Therapy ran a sale on their boxes and I jumped on them. They are awesome ya’ll! I had plenty of oil for all of my oils including my synergies
Emmie’s first Chuck E. Cheese trip.
Zoe got her braces off in January! This is her before…
…and this is the after.
Donuts…a 2 year old’s best friend.
Malachi made it all the way to the top of the cube rope climb at the park. Super proud of our spider man!
Winter the Cat, thinks the kids school box (my check box for them to put their work in) is her personal nap area on my desk.
If you look closely, you can see the actual flakes.
Some actually stuck (for a few seconds) on the car.
Friday we decided to take a walk on the beach before supper. We wound up walking all the way to where we wanted to eat. Mark had to chase the birds on the way.
Saturday, we biked. And biked and biked. 
And found treasures like Driftwood Beach
We stopped at our hotel for lunch and snacked at the park right next door. These little squirrels desperately wanted to join our meal. While Mark was running to the room, one of the squirrels even jumped on the bench beside me and sniffed at my shoe.
If you go to Jekyll, you must cycle to St. Andrews Beach. It was so peaceful and gorgeous.
We met some deer too!
We found a great Tex-Mex restaurant on the island.
