March 2019

This march we experienced extreme seasons starting with a huge blizzard where our new car got stuck 3 times in the snow and then beautiful sunny weather in Florida, and then coming home to hopefully the last snow storm this year. But thanks to the snow we were finally able to build a snowman. Jefferson had been asking all winter and the snow just wasn't quite right. We made a mountain of snow in the park and Carter did his first sledding. The next couple days all of the snow had melted and we had a park day and Carter experienced the swing for the first time. He liked it but not with the same enthusiasm as Jefferson the first time he went in the swing. We celebrated St. Patrick's day with Mom and Dad Dennis with yummy corn beef and cabbage and then Carter and I went off to Florida for spring break. We loved every bit of our trip in Florida. Carter met his Florida family including his second cousin Caleb who is just 3 weeks younger than him. We ate delicious seafood and spent an afternoon at the beach. Carter was hesitant with the waves at first but then started lifting his legs in expectation to jump the wave. He loved the sand and got it all over. This beach is so special to me because it's the beach I would go to with my grandma, and it is where I was when we found out we were going to be able to adopt Jefferson. It's where Jefferson first met the ocean and now where Carter first met the ocean. We had such a beautiful time and Carter did great on the plane. So grateful to my Aunt Ann and cousin Angela for carting us around and hosting us! Carter was so excited to see his dada and Jefferson when we came home. Jefferson is pretending and building and creating and being such a great big brother. We started a kindness warm fuzzy jar this month and he is being such a great little helper around our home filling up his jar with warm fuzzies.
