Since I have fallen behind in posting on the blog, I am just going to post the highlights for the month of March.
Hannah Clare turned 3 months March 1. Sorry for the naked baby pic but she was in a great mood and I just started snapping pics. Sister Rose (my great aunt from Toledo, Ohio) showed up for a surprise visit! She flew into Oklahoma to see my parents and then drove down to Austin with my mom and sister. Paul, my sister's fiance, also joined us from Corpus Cristi for a fun weekend. We had such a wonderful time visiting. We miss her very much. Here are some of the things we did while she was here.
We had a picnic at our favorite park.
We hiked Mount Bonnell and then headed to a peacock farm.And we did a lot of holding and cuddling babies. Hannah loved Sister Rose as you can see by her giggle and smile.
The following weekend, I had my first day back to work (March 14). My mom and sister headed back down to Austin again to help Andy with the girls for the big day. We weren't sure how Hannah and bottle feeding would go so we wanted to make sure that someone was here to help out with Mary Catherine just in case Hannah occupied all of Andy's time. Well, it turned out that Hannah was an expert.
Grammy stayed the rest of the week and Mary went down to Corpus Cristi to visit Paul. As you can see, Grammy brought Mary Catherine some yummy cookies. I have never seen her so happy before. I guess I would have been too if my mom only gave me one cookie a week. Thank you Grammy!Grammy was still here on St. Patrick's Day. We thought about going to an Irish festival downtown but decided it would be too crowed and noisy for Hannah. So we decided just to grab some dinner at Chili's. Here are some pics we captured out in front of the restaurant.
Every Friday during Lent, I pack tuna fish sandwiches and we met Andy at a park near his work for a picnic. This has become a family tradition for us. Our neighbors (Hope and Ryder) decided to join us during their Spring Break. Here are some pics of them on the swings.
At the end of the month, we took Hannah to Sea World for the first time. Now, Mary Catherine has been going since she was in the womb but she was still really excited to show Hannah all of the sea animals. Mary Catherine kept saying, "Oh, how cute. Sissy, look." and "I wanna go see something else." We are season pass holders so we will be taking many trips back to Sea World if anyone wants to join us.
And finally just some fun pics of the girls while hanging out at the house.
