Donut! (As our accented child would say.)  I was doing so well staying up with my Week in Review and somehow the whole month of February just blew right past me.  Sheesh.  Between the pace at which it came and the winter weather it brought over the weekend, I would say March definitely came “in like a lion”.

February was a great month filled with more cold weather, a trip to Arizona to be refreshed by sunshine and time with friends, then more cold weather, and normal crazy life.

Some pictures from the last few weeks…

So we left this

For this

And this

And this (like my mug? 🙂 )

And we came back to more of this
but at least it was warm enough to get outside a couple of days.

Even the little shoots are ready for the warm sun

And at least the sun is starting to come up a little earlier
(And, yes, I know the time change this weekend means a later sunrise again…but I’m not thinking about that and will choose to focus on the fact that at least it will no longer be dark when we eat dinner.)

We even had a day of open doors and windows

And my sweet Haitian girl is reading so well. I could cry. And maybe I did as she laughed her way through this BOB book last month.

Then March came in with more snow and cancelled concert plans but lots of extra girls at our house, so fun was still had by all.

And, oh, look, a happy little planner. I love my techie gadgets, but I just can’t quit my paper planner.

Last, but not least, what happens when you fill a latex glove with water and stick it outside overnight in sub-zero temps? You get a frozen hand and this picture on your camera.

And to start the week and the month off right, counting just some of the amazing gifts from the Father’s hand.
