March

We unfortunately started this month off with Willow's first earache. I've never felt so helpless as I did when she was screaming in agony, and I couldn't do anything. We were happy to still be able to go to Rhadei' birthday party at an indoor water park geared toward swimmers of all ages. Willow had a lot of fun, though she was a bit afraid of water falling on her face. It's a different experience when you go somewhere with your kids. Chad, Tami, Ashley, Megan, and Claire were unexpectedly able to come visit, and Willow was lucky to spend some time with them on the 14th. Unfortunately, despite having cousins that live in the same state, she still doesn't see them as often as we would like. Mandy and Willow went to an event at the library where we got to meet some baby chicks, a couple bunny rabbits, and a lamb. Seeing animals in real life is a bit different than in books. We finally found time to visit the Obrich Spring Show on the 21st. It wasn't as good as the last two years, but it is still a nice exhibit to go to and has become a bit of a tradition for our family.
