View pictures and videos from March!!We were blessed to have Kristen’s mom and Bryan’s mom come to stay for almost 2 weeks each to help out after the arrival of Ashley. They were definitely a big help and much appreciated. Royce’s voice went hoarse from reading so many stories to Sienna and Colby, and Anna Clare’s fingers were cramped after the last minute push to finish a beautiful quilt for Ashley. We all loved having them here.
Kim and Craig and family came for Ashley’s blessing, Easter, Sienna’s 4th birthday, and to visit Grandma. We loved having them here. Sienna continues to talk about their visit. Sienna had the ultimate birthday. Not only did she have a flower cake and ice cream, gifts, etc., she had an Easter egg hunt, lots of candy, and Laila, Jeff, & Grandma to play with her the whole day. We continued our tradition of having Craig help us with a home improvement project. This time it involved Craig holding a garbage can on top of our lower roof while Bryan stood on it and drilled in a loose piece of siding. We’re sad that Craig and Kim will most likely be moving farther away. How will we get any home improvement projects done?
Colby also had a birthday (2nd) this month. Bryan was out of town on the actual date so we celebrated two days later. After going through the “spanking machine,” he kept saying, “more tunnel!” He had a choo-choo birthday cake, and got a grocery cart that he likes to fill up and push around the house, and a soccer uniform from Spain. We all wore soccer uniforms for the big occasion. Bryan’s established a tradition of bringing home a soccer shirt for Colby after visiting different countries for work. Colby also has shirts from Brazil and Argentina.
Bryan had a nice trip to Malaga, Spain. He arrived a Monday, went mountain biking with some friends Tuesday and Wednesday, explored Malaga (birthplace of Picasso on the Mediterranean) on Thursday, and attended an HIV conference on Friday and Saturday. He even got to go through daylight savings time again, and traveled from 10 pm (4 am in Malaga) to 7 pm the next day on his return.
We should probably say something about Ashley. She continues to cry, sleep, cry, eat, cry, poop, cry, spit, and cry. We’re patiently waiting for a good smile. J And Kristen’s patiently waiting for more sleep.

She's so cute! And Colby looks so big? When did he stop being a baby, and start being a little boy? Kristen, you are so creative with the birthday cakes you make. What fun memories for the kids to have on their birthdays. I can't wait to see you guys next month, and to meet Ashley.
