St Patty's Day and Leo meets his great-grandfather.

OK, so St. Patty's Day...the girls actually fit into the same shirts as last year, so yay, thrifty Mommy saves some money:)

Kaylee doesn't mind modeling her Irish.
Nor does Rowan.

Leo's St. Patty's Day shirt says: Handsome Irish Boy.

And he loves his swing...yay!
Kaylee takes another decent pic this month while playing with playdough...which somehow manages to always find its way back into the house despite being banned at least 10 times.
The Lion Man in his Lion PJs...in his bouncy seat.
Lion PJs for the Little Lion Man.
Our little cutie.
Check out how alert this one is at only 5 weeks!
Kaylee plays the part of a caterpillar emerging from her cocoon.
Leo meets his great-grandfather.
And here we have it, 4 generations of Gifford Men.
And there's your dose:) Ciao.

Mardi Gras and a few other cute pics.

The girls made Mardi Gras masks at a MOMS Club event and continued the celebration at home.

Rowan was particularly proud of her mask. She continually jumped out at me and said: Boo! And then she pulled her mask up and said, "its only Rowan Mommy, its just me!" Seriously, at least 20 times...in a row.
Kaylee made a mask too and strutted around for a while.
Look! Look! Look! I took a great picture of Kaylee! This has not happened in a VERY long time. Kaylee is a beautiful little girl, and I get passable pictures on a regular basis, but you have no idea how many I delete because they are just plain old BAD; but this one, this one, I LOVE.
This one isn't that bad either, but still only passable.
Rowan, on the other hand, is a camera ham. I don't seem to have trouble getting pics of her to come out well.
Check out that expression!
A kiss for baby Leo when we broke out his baby gym.
He was captivated for a few minutes...
but then, well...you decide if he liked it or not.
That's all for now.

this past week...

Mommy's new favorite of the Little Lion Man.

We went to a gymnastics party last weekend, the girls had a blast...here's Rowan flying high on the zip line.
And bouncing on the trampoline.
She even tackled the inflatable slide, which she normally avoids during her weekly gymnastics class.
Kaylee tackled the climbing wall with her normal cautious determination.
Boing.
Boing.
Kaylee flew on the zipline as well.
And unlike Rowan, Kaylee has no problems conquering the inflatables.
I really have to get more into pictures! What can I say, we're busy:)
