Almost March

This month has gone by so quickly! We were all sick the beginning of the month, Patrick and I had the respiratory flu, then bronchitis, Elizabeth got an ear infection and Pack somehow escaped it all with a mir cough. Last weekend we were in Detroit for Patrick's birthday and Sarah and Dave's wedding. And now Pack is off of school all this week for Winter Break, which is really a joke for those of us who are paying for our children to attend school after the 6 days of school that were cancelled for snow in January! We had a very nice week of weather last week; a spring tease with temperatures in the upper 50's.

Snow pictures from the end of January, our 5th big snow of the month?

I was putting Elizabeth down for a nap one day this week and could hear Pack playing, then suddenly things got very quiet.....while he fell asleep playing.

Thinking warm thoughts

Found some fun summer pictures from our nights in Newport. We went with Patrick while he was at a conference for a few nights. We had fun exploring the cute city and playing on the beach.

Summer in New Canaan

This summer we spent a lot of time at the New Canaan swimming pool. Here are some good pictures from the summer!

The Bronx Zoo

On Saturday we headed to the Bronx Zoo with Mimi and Papa and a wonderful time was had by all!

Elizabeth loved watching the sea lions swim and poke theirs noses above the water!

More from the BIG week...

Then, Easter weekend, my sister, Elizabeth and cousin Julia came to visit and brought cupcakes from Magnolia bakery (after the 14 cupcakes Kiki had delivered to the house on Pack's birthday)!

Elizabeth loves to share her food!

Never got a great shot of Elizabeth in her dress....

Happy Easter and Birthdays to Pack and Elizabeth!

A very big week in the David house, we celebrated Easter, Pack's 3rd birthday and Elizabeth's 1st birthday.

The Saturday before Easter was the big annual Easter egg hunt in Waveny park. It was only 30 degrees that morning! It was a very fun event. They had 4 big bouncy castles for the kids, a dance performance from NC dance academy, a huge bake sale, tons a balloons...fun was had by all.

Pack got a bouncy castle for his birthday from daddy! Elizabeth was thrilled as well.

Elizabeth got her first doll for her birthday and walks around saying "baby, baby"!

Lucky Pack got to have a backhoe at his own house for a day while they fixed the water leak between the well and the house. Pack even got to sit in the backhoe!
