March 1
Libby Mill
Love that they love books and that the library has these window cubby holes to keep them contained.


March 2
CMoR
Preview to fifteen years from now when Brooks and Edwin are cruising the hood in their red truck, with a "PLAY" vanity tag.


March 3
Bedroom
When naps will only happen in the car seat or in the bed with mom. Wishing so badly he would nap in his own bed when it's happening, but miss it so bad when the phase has passed.


March 4
ARC Park
Not so sure about the whole slide thing just yet.


March 5
Sunroom
Holy cannoli, how has 11 months passed already (four days ago)? And don't mind Andy's webbed toes sneaking into the frame. These pictures are only successful when he's around to help run Leena interference and make Edwin smile.


March 6
LGBG
Best Craigslist purchase I've ever made: these kids. JK. The stroller.


March 7
Front Yard
Bare bottomed in a wire chair when it's a little bit chilly. Whatever floats your boat, LB.


March 8
Cyborg Room
I'm anticipating a call from LuLaRoe to become a consultant so we did some major rearranging. We also though that Edwin should start sleeping in his crib instead of a pack n' play before his first birthday. Not pictured: the box spring we had to saw in half and screw back together once we got it upstairs. (We know you can buy ones that fold in half for not that much...)


March 9
Schemmel House
Cousin Boys and Cousin Girls doing cousin things. Kiki's in town so it means lots of cousin time.


March 10
I-95 N
Sitting in traffic for a day trip to IKEA with three adults and three kids. Seems manageable.


East End
Meanwhile, Andy got to work with robots.


March 11
The Daily
I can't remember the last time I experienced a brunch out. Probably when I was hungover and single and lived in New York. Okay, not that long, but still.


March 12
CMoR
I don't remember the details of the day, but I do remember this moment being the saving grace of the day. It's all worth it when they share a smile and a giggle.


March 13
Sunroom
We kept seeing bees in the sunroom (no less than fifteen by the time it was said and done) and for a minute couldn't figure out why. Then we realized they had burrowed into the wood we had brought in to burn and we thought they were gone. Then there were more when Andy was at work. I, of course, had visions of nighttime swarms and immediately called my neighbor to come help me throw the wood out. Thanks, Ben! 
Photo cred: Andy. Look closely, you can see the bee butt sticking out of one of the holes.


March 14
Attic, now Master Bedroom/LuLa Room
Part of the great switch was going through clothes. It's safe to say there are some things worth getting rid of.


March 15
Bathtub
1. Sorry Kiki wasn't featured more. She left town this morning. Just in time, too. 2. The first of many oatmeal baths because these two picked up a nice case of Hand, Foot, and Mouth somewhere along the way.


March 16.
Living Room
Sorry for the graphic. This was our day. Couch sitting and sleeping and trying to keep this guy happy.


May 17
Living Room
Oh, here we are again doing the same thing. What a way to spend a five-day.


March 18
LGBG
Finally feeling better and definitely needing some fresh air.


March 19
Living Room
Not completely over the couch phase though. Love a passed out baby, am I right?!


March 20
Living Room
Spring brings birdies! And these guys stayed entertained for way longer than I expected just watching them out the window.


March 21
Attic
Photographing things we are trying to sell. Anyone want to buy this hookah?


March 22
Sunroom
Getting back at it! To be honest, he really stayed pretty pleasant throughout this whole ordeal. 


March 23
Living Room
A visit from Ducky is the best.


March 24
CMoR
Sunglasses, poncho, and sparkly shoes. I can't wait to meet this teenager.


March 25
Front Yard
She's finally not completely afraid of her balance bike! I think she just likes to wear the helmet though.


That's definitely Edwin's favorite part.


March 26
LGBG
Cousins at the garden building towers.


March 27
Living Room
My little Jazzercise master.


March 28
Sunroom
LuLaRoe crafting! All the pretty colors to make a sign I haven't even used yet. Ha. I did get the call to be a consultant one of these days and now I'm just waiting, waiting, waiting for a giant shipment of clothes to get to my house!


March 29
Front Porch
The first batch! This isn't even half of it. At this point, I'm thinking, "Holy cow! I hope I'm ready for this."


March 30
Edwin's Room
Story time with Molly and Alice.


March 31
CMoR
We really frequented the museum this month...


He decided that since tomorrow is his birthday, he better up his skills game and decided to sneak up the stairs.
