March 19

We finished out February and headed into a very busy March.  I have to say, at least we have fun with all of our adventures! After our Ohio trip, Little Sister got to enjoy a special day with Daddy since she was off for Presidents' Day.



Top Golf time with Daddy!


And it was back to school and there was so much going on this month. She enjoyed several dress up days, picnics, and just time with her friends.


     



Go Texan Day with my favorite cowgirl!



Family Picnic day!



Steps for Students day!




Oh the Places You'll Go! Day; Little Sweetie was a future Robot Inventor


     

     

Mass time!


Little Sweetie also did a great job at this year's Kids run! She got a new PR and we were so proud of all her hard work this Run Club season.


Running strong!

Team WILLPower representing!


     

It was a great day with friends and earning medals!


Unfortunately, Little Sweetie and Daddy weren't able to be here for the Marathon and Half Marathon.  Great Grandma passed away at the end of February and Daddy and Little Sweetie traveled back to Ohio to celebrate and honor her life. 
 

Ohio bound.



Enjoying some time in Marietta. 



Little Sweetie got to visit with Mimi and Pop-Pop and Uncle C too. 


Thankfully, they made it back home for our tradition Chuy's meal with Little Sweetie's Godfamily. 



Proud of Team WILLPower!


Not long after the race, it was time for Spring Break! We don't travel over Spring Break, so we found lots of ways to keep our time busy.


Starting the week with Girl Scout Sunday and our Parish Cookie Booth!



Always a fun break treat...getting a mani/pedi!



Making time to go see the Easter Bunny!


Spring Break nearly always hits the same week as Daddy's birthday, so we were happy to celebrate him with a trip to the Houston Museum of Natural Science and some German chocolate cake!



     

     


Happy Birthday Daddy!


We also got to enjoy walks on the waterway, complete with koi and ducklings sightings.



     

We had beautiful weather for our walk!


Spring Break ended with St. Patrick's Day and Little Sweetie's leprechaun trapping shenanigans. 


Green whipped cream on her hot chocolate at brunch after Mass.


 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!


     

Hoping the luck of the Irish helps her sell her last boxes of cookies and grow her garden seedlings!



     


She worked very hard to engineer her leprechaun traps. She didn't catch one, but she find some clovers that a leprechaun must have left behind!


Height and Weight
Up a tad to 77.6 pounds and staying about 56 1/4 inches.  She is growing, but thankfully we don't seem to be hitting full puberty quite yet.


Good grocery helper!


Personality
Tone and "I know" continue to be little headaches in our day, but overall she continues her sweet and sassy  way. She is loving and caring, but quick to have her pride wounded. We love the person she is and the person she is becoming.

Developmental Milestones
Little Sweetie is a voracious reader and designer! She has taken the Harry Potter series by storm and can't be convinced to put it down. Besides her leprechaun trap, she is always building or engineering something (and making a mess, but I try to tamp down my annoyance to allow her creativity to flow). 

       

Book working and building junkie!


Fun Tidbits
We also had a great month supporting two of our friends in the arts!  We were excited to go see in E in her production of Finding Nemo and to see JM in his production of Pride & Prejudice


     

She enjoyed both shows!


The first part of March was filled with adventure. Let's see what the rest of the month brings! Easter fall right at the end of the month this year.

Good night,
