March Madness

Phil was gone for the month of March livin it up on a TDY in North Carolina. Here he is "working" with his buddies.

Before he left we had visitors! The Patricks came to stay for a few days and we had a blast. Here we are at the zoo:

Here is a letter Sophie wrote for me when Phil left:

Since we didn't really have any fun Spring Break plans, Sophie and I planned a "Craft Camp" at our house every morning with the neighbor kids. It was a huge success!

First we went to the river to find rocks...

Right now he is really into shadows. He is very intrigued by them and says, "Shadow!" with a little gasp.
