Dear Candace (a.k.a. One of My Blog Stalkers),
Thanks for reminding me that I needed to update my blog. It has been on my "to do" list. If you scroll back past this post, you will find a few new pictures.
Love,

An Open Letter to My Dear Friend
Pesky Little Leprchauns
The kids made their traditional Leprechaun traps.
Hannah's 
Aaron's 
Rachel's...She was trying to attract the "bad" teen Leprechauns. 
Things of Spring
Spring weather has finally arrived in our neck of the woods. We have been in the new house for less than a year, so it is fun to see what blooms.
These trees line our driveway. The house in the photo is actually our neighbor's, but the trees are ours. They have started to green out now, but when they were full of little pinkish white blooms they made me smile every time I saw them. Last Wednesday night when we came home from church I stopped at the top of the driveway and made the entire family enjoy the trees. They probably weren't as thrilled as I was.
Just as I started to feel sad that the pretty little flowers were falling off and making way for green leaves, a tree in my front yard bloomed...a Dogwood. It is so pretty. It isn't as full as my neighbor's Dogwood, but it is still pretty.
There is a Tulip Poplar in the backyard that is just about to bloom. I can't wait for it to fill in.
Now if I can just get the grass in the front to grow!
My Valentines
This was the first year since kindergarten that Rachel didn't give Valentines to all her classmates. That didn't stop Aaron and Hannah from getting in on the fun. Here they are filling out a Valentine for everyone.
I pulled out our traditional heart shaped plates for the day. Each of the kids got a little stuffed leopard with Hershey's Kisses and an animal shaped box with cookies. Hannah and I celebrated in her class with an afternoon party. The kids decorated cookies and opened their Valentines.
