Day 66

Ice Storm 2014

It is March in North Carolina…when will this end?

Day 65

Throwback Thursday…

This is from Emma's first NC snow, December 2009.  Thought this photo was fitting considering it is March and sleeting.

Day 64

There is this one bud that is trying so hard…

It's the only bud on the entire bush that is this far along.  I can't wait to see the whole thing in bloom!

Day 63

Carson loves her cousins just like they were siblings.  I love this photo of Jack and Carson!

Day 62

As predicted, today's temps started around 58 and ended up around 25.  At lunchtime it started sleeting off and on, and then it ended with a burst of snow. School has already been canceled for tomorrow since the low tonight is 19.  Remember my post from yesterday?  We had sunny weather with temps in the 70s.  Our NC weather is so bipolar.

I want to post a picture of Jackson at his game yesterday.  He is attempting a penalty kick here.  Jack missed the goal (the ball hit the side post), but the ball bounced back out and one of his teammates followed it up with a goal of his own.  I will take it.

And just to show the difference between yesterday and today, here is a photo of the new tree swing (just hung yesterday) with the snow from this afternoon.

Day 61

Today was absolutely beautiful!  After a cold winter, it was a gift.  Tomorrow our weather turns bitterly cold again! :(

Here are some iPhone photos that I took today. I did take my camera to Jackson's soccer game, but we stayed outdoors so long tonight that I've not downloaded the photos yet. 

Jackson's team won their game this afternoon. I was so proud of them!

Emma was soaking up the sun on the way to the grocery store!

Then she pulled her tooth in Lowes Foods while we were grocery shopping this afternoon!  We had barely made it out of the produce section!

After we put away the groceries, we finally hung the tree swing that has been in our basement garage since last summer!  It is a big hit already!

And...I couldn't not post a picture of Brendan!  This is all I managed to snap of my tween though.  I hate that I don't have as many photos of him lately!

Today was a good day!

Day 60

Today Emma and I tried to make a shamrock cake.  The shape didn't turn out so well, but it tasted delicious!

Day 59

Emma had a doctor's appointment on Friday for a yearly check-up.  Unfortunately she also has an ear infection.  She came home and put her pjs on and watched some videos on the iPad.  This morning she felt a lot better.

Day 58

Our Tulip Tree has started to bud.  I can't wait to see it in bloom.

Day 57

Lenten Rose
