Life lately...

I am so behind on blogging.....like a whole month behind!  It's March now, and Merritt is now walking all over the place!  Praise the Lord! Errands are easier and harder all at the same time.  I am thankful we aren't crawling all over the floor anymore, but this new freedom also means lots of wanting to move around.


We started out doing,ots and lots of laps with this walker.  This girl loves to be outside!  It does not matter how cold or wet it is.


This is exactly why I wanted her to walk - crawling on the ground is no fun!


Our weather has been all over the place.  We had a really warm February, and while it was nice, I knew it wouldn't last.


Emma is getting soooo big...like who is this kid???



A former student invited us to visit her home in Bynum, and we had the best time with them. her and her husband are amazing and super talented.  Check out their band!


She's already too cool for me:)


Emma got this trike when she turned one...and Merritt has been loving neighborhood strolls in it.  Actually, we go out almost every single afternoon when she wakes up from her nap.



Emma had pajama day, and she's obsessed with long dresses, nightgowns....etc.  


Practicing our walking at the mall!


I had to get the car serviced so we walked to Chubby's tacos for a girl lunch.  Merritt was super tickled about her newfound love of disobeying me and standing up in her highchair.



Emma found my old phone and immediately did this with it - ahhhh...shake my head!  What is it with this generation and the selfies???!!!!


Emma had a playdate and Brent was out washing cars...they joined in, willingly.  Win-win!!



One of our many walks!


Love, love seeing the girls sit together!


Brent went snow skiing for 5 days in Colorado.  I stayed here.  With the kids.  It was fun.
NOT.
Kidding.
Sort of......

Emma was great company and did my workout with me while Merritt napped.  


Again....outside. In the cold!



Snuggling with grandpa!  The best:)


Hey mom...look at me!!




Enjoying daddy being home, finally!




Merritt doesn't quite sit well at these chairs so Emma made a fort of pillows around her in case she fell!


There was a bead show in Mebane, so I left M behind and took Emma with me!  We had a blast and ate lunch at Cracker Barrel!



It's raining and cold...and yet, here we are again...outside.


I have no idea why I have to buy so much toilet paper.


We had one small wintry blast, and M was not amused.


This big girl wrote her alphabet all by herself in the car one day.


Lazy weekend swinging..


I had to document this...check these cankles out!


Snowing one day...warm the next.


Emma is loving showering and getting herself made up...I have a full blown girly girl for sure.


We enjoyed a beautiful weekend outside...love these peeps!!!
