March 2016


Looking back on March, I suppose it could be summed up by unseasonably nice weather, stomach flu, house projects, and Easter...so some parts were more pleasant than others. Here are some shots from our March.















Henrik had a quick bout with the stomach flu and then a few days later, on our drive to BSF, Henrik says "oh no, look what Ira did". Needless to say, I turned the car around and headed back home. This started a six day stretch of poor Ira throwing up. Devin and I had it during his stretch as well. It was a long week and a half.




We had Devin's cousin do board-n-batten on one of our dining room walls. It turned out exactly like I had pictured! We did the sanding/caulking/painting and hung a new chandelier. I have wallpaper ordered for the rest of the room so hopefully it'll be finished soon! A couple photos of the process...




As you can see in several pictures, Henrik often sports a pony-tail to keep his hair out of his eyes when it isn't styled. I think it looks so cute but some have voiced we need to cut his hair. :)


Henrik loved dyeing eggs and then the next morning I let the boys destroy them. I guess anything to keep them occupied.



In his Easter basket, Henrik got two more dinotrux to add to his collection, which he was more excited about than the candy so I'd say that's a win. We spent Easter Sunday with Devin's family and had a really nice day...







I also picked out some new blinds/shades for a couple rooms and new shutters for the outside of our house. Home Depot was a hit with the boys thanks to this cart.





This melts me. Ira stood here for about ten minutes just playing with Henrik's hair and hugging him. He didn't get anything in return but seemed to enjoy just loving on his brother. So fun to see their relationship develop.

Fun recap! Great picture of Henny on the ground, playing with his trucks in the patch of dirt. Hard to believe that the weather was that warm in March!

Love the dining room wall! I'm a huge fan of black. I love the picture of Henrik and Ira outside on the blanket.
