Parties and Parks, Anna Style!

I'm working backward now to catch up on the month of March.  Let me tell you, it is a happening month!  From what I can remember (ha!), of our loved ones and close friends, there are 9 birthdays and 2 anniversaries celebrated! 

Anna turned 1 just six days before her little brother arrived!  Sadly, my camera battery died before she dug into her cake.  Although, there was not too much digging in...maybe due to her not feeling 100% or maybe due to the mess all over her hands?  Here are the few pics I snapped prior to that.




We had some pretty unbelievable (unseasonal) HOT weather in March.  Almost to the point that we turned our air on, but we held out.  On one of those beautiful days, we met at the park with Anna and Sarah Beth. 

 This is standard with my kids and Anna.  They have a tendency to swarm her.  They adore her!  In fact, this morning,  Claire announced that she wished we could keep Anna (we are watching her today)!
 Hmmm...what to do next?


 Lyd's hand is essential in this pic.  You see, Anna was bound and determined to eat rocks.  Not too out of character for her.  After all, the girl thrives on a diet of fuzz from anything that is fuzzy and she can get to...stuffed animals, coats, etc...  So really, what's a rock or two?
And this girl will make a superb babysitter some day.  She's already trained in rock retrieving!
