I'm in a bit of disbelief that it's actually March today... but so happy too!  March has the promise that Spring will soon be here {pLeaSe??!!!} & the month that our Miss Lydia came into our life!  We're in full swing planning the little lady's party & the invitations have been sent.  It may seem a bit selfish, but the party is not just for her, but for Dan & I too... our kid's birthday parties are often some of the only times we get to see our friends with kids!  It's just plain fun to gather with our family & friends & watch all the kids play together.  Now with all the pictures we captured this weekend of the little lady... here is one of her room that I had decorated up for her pictures:

and one of Lydia... this is how we started out, but I love it because she has her "stinky pinky"... probably the only "baby" thing she is holding on to right now {I hope she keeps it forever}

OH... & guess what we did this weekend?  Well, I enjoyed a great evening with my sisters at a movie & dinner & a little shopping.  We were celebrating my sister Kim's birthday!  It was a great time & I always LOVE being able to spend time with them.  I love you girls :)  

Dan has been doing lots of finishing up of little {& big} things around the house lately.  Everything is looking great & it's nice to see all the beauty of our house coming about more & more every day.  

Evan also made his First Confession yesterday, a part of getting prepared to make his First Communion in May.  I can't believe it's that time already!  He did a great job & wasn't nervous at all!  After we were done at Church, we took Lydia across the way to HTC preschool open house.  That's right, with the little lady turning 3 soon, I've been in disbelief that I even have to think abut this... but she really loved it & didn't want to leave!  It should be great fun for her {but yes, I'm a little sad she's really growing up}.

oh... did you see all the fabulous digi elements up there?  you can get them here!
