Ahh, Father and son. That's a newborn, size 0-3 month sleeper that Ben is wearing. That size finally fits him! Yeah! And he is three weeks old! It took him a long time to fit into a size that my other babies have mostly skipped altogether. Also, when I put on the size 1 diapers, the tabs don't overlap anymore! There is a little space between the tabs. C'mon! These are milestones! He is still sweet and peaceful and we love him to pieces.

Well, the weather was nice last weekend and Kevin got the garden all ready to go, so for family home evening we started planting. Not everything, just tomatoes and zucchini. Fun, huh?

I would post a picture of the garden as it looks now, but it is too cold to go out there . . . and it is covered in SNOW!! Ah spring, you cruel, cruel thing! It wasn't even snow that falls and then melts within the next few hours. No, no, no! The snow has been on the ground for the last FOUR DAYS!! That is going too far and I really must protest. I've noticed, though, that my protestations never do any good. I'm just kicking against the pricks. That's okay. We will just have more pictures of us in the garden later -- when we replant!

On Wednesday night, Cheyenne and Calianne had their recital for their Let's Play Music class. Don't they look pretty? They each played a song. They've learned a lot and practiced hard. I'm really pleased with all they've done!

Here is Cheyenne playing, "Love Somebody." My picture of Calianne didn't turn out, so you will just have to imagine it. She looked really cute, too!

Here are our two budding musicians!

Otherwise, we mostly stayed inside this week and tried to hide from the rain and the snow. All the softball practices my family would have gone to were even canceled. Bethany still wanted to go outside eveyday when her sisters got home from school, so she wasn't very happy with us most afternoons.

It will be very nice when it gets warm again. Which I hope it will. Very soon.

And Kevin got SCHOOLED on Friday night when you had friends over for games. Don't forget that.

I love to look at Kevin as he looks at his son. I could do it over and over again. It melts my heart and brings tears to my eyes every time. That picture of the two of them is precious.
