March

Lily took gymnastics this winter/spring. I'd like to say this was her coming off a triple flip on the vault, but the truth is that she just flat out jumped off:

The bars are her favorite "event":

Check out the number of supporters she has! Megan was there too, but felt her hair day did not merit a photo:

We love going to the Children's Museum on Friday nights:

They have a cool dinosaur exhibit right now. Willow is digging for fossils:

But her favorite activity remains using the hand dryer. She's now mastered the backward maneuver:

I could RAVE about the current China exhibit. It was Lily's favorite this time. She claimed to remember practically everything that was there from her 11 month experience in China. She kept saying "Oh, I remember that." and "I already know about that."

We attended the Early Childhood class with the Easter theme recently. Willow loved the playdough and painting the most:

Lily loved everything, but she claims she's getting too big to participate.

We met a friend at the Maple Maze and Lily was big enough to get pretty high on the kiddy-climbing wall:

The activity of the spring has been pushing babies in their strollers. And, apparently, posing with an attitude and hand on the hips:

I've averaged about one showing a week - every week hoping "this is the week". I have 2 showings this weekend - Monday's showing will be my ninth. I get positive feedback overall, but no offers yet. One family commented that they would like to make an offer, but they have to sell their own home first. That is the reason Marc and I are not seriously looking yet - I don't want to fall in LOVE with a house and then have it sell before ours are sold.

Marc's house is on the market now too. He's had about 10 showings too, and lots of good feedback.

The girls are more attached to Marc than ever. They are sad on the days we don't get to see him and beg to go to his house when his kids are there. Just after this picture was taken they broke into the annoying 2-year old power struggle of "MY dad" then "No! MY dad". I noticed Marc didn't stop the argument - because he was busy melting. They don't call him dad, but Lily talks a lot about when he becomes her dad. I think they were just trying on the sound of the word. They had a similar argument in the car recently about Ben: "MY Ben." "NO! MY Ben" and on and on.

When they don't appreciate how I do something, they'll talk about when Marc can do it for them. For example, I am too rough and rushed when I do their hair. Willow said one morning this week: "Mom? You do Lily hair. Mart do my hair. O Tay?"

Say a prayer for two buyers to find our houses SOON!
