March 2019

March was a great month. Allen and I got away for a few days to celebrate our 15 year wedding anniversary. We had never left the kids.  My sister and mom watched them for us. It was a great get-away.

Here are some of our activities in March.

 Alexis and Allen taking selfies

 Just relaxing on the couch

 Chips and salsa with Aunt Danielle

 Group hug

 Cole riding his bike on our driveway

 What mess?

 Alexis being her usual self:)

 On the ferry ride to Seattle.  We met with a specialist at Seattle Children's hospital for Alexis's shoulder (her left shoulder is higher than her right). When it was first diagnosed as a baby we were told she would need surgery when she was around four. The specialist said she looked great and did not suggest surgery. We are so happy

 Alexis was great with the doctors

 Relaxing in our bed

 Fun night out with our neighbors to see The Lords of 52nd Street (original members of Billy Joel's band). They were awesome

 Enjoying some brownie mix

 The cabin we rented

 There was a hammock in the loft

 Awesome wood burning fireplace with unlimited firewood

 Little sitting area and bed. Do you see the foot rests? They are bears.

 We tried the outdoor hot tub one afternoon
