Catching Up

This has been quite the busy month around here. My little online family journal is so wildly far behind that I can't hope to catch it up properly. Clearly the only recourse is to do a quick March recap and start anew in April.

So here, in brief, is a snapshot (or two or sixty) of all the reasons I've been too busy to blog:

Training the children to be rednecks/biker chicks

Trying to keep Libby from running away from home. Here she is with her collection of lunch bags. She thinks they're purses and calls them her "bye-byes." She has several adorable little purses of her own, but no amount of cajoling can persuade her to abandon the lunch bags.

Borrowers' Dinner. Steve and Andrew finished the book The Borrowers and were ready for movie night. So we "borrowed" dinner and buddy Seth from our friend Miss Jen for the evening. Fun times!

Girls' Weekend! Friends Jen, Elizabeth, Anna Barrett, and I met in Durham for an overdue reunion with AB and a much-needed getaway. The weekend could be summed up in two words: shopping and food. We had a great dinner at The Melting Pot, where, as Anna Barrett so aptly put it, "We ate for three hours." **I would also like to state for the record that, despite my larger-than-life appearance in this picture, I am not 8 months (or any months) pregnant, nor have I suddenly gained 40 pounds. I do not know WHAT was going on with that shirt.**

And, finally, new floors! We removed all the old flooring and put down hardwood in the front half of the house -- living room, dining room, hallway, and powder room. Steve helped our friend from church (who works in construction and knows how not to mess up these projects) lay the new floors. It is like having a whole new house!

And finally...just for fun, some adorable pictures of THE RETURN OF THE PIGGIES!
