March 2009
A big highlight of March for us was a visit from the Troys. Their trips always seem to short, but we enjoyed every moment together. We also enjoyed an evening with Aunt Chris & Uncle Dave while they were in town. Jeni's first year as the State Speech Chair for Academic Decathlon culminated with the state competition at the beginning of the month -- stressful, but very fulfilling. At swim class, Sarah must think she's grown gills, the way she repeatedly jumps into the water with abandon. She's a regular conversation machine, not only talking in phrases and sentences all the time, but using "please" and "thank you" regularly without prompting. Sarah enjoyed her first solo weekend at Grandma & Grandpa camp at the beginning of the month, and both girls returned for another weekend later in the month. Birthday season is in full swing again this year, with four kiddos' parties this month. Cap it off with zoo trips, a hike, the Renaissance Faire, the Desert Botanical Garden, an Indians Spring Training game, and visits with friends, and we had a pretty darned full month!
