Temperatures are already dropping back to more typical March temperatures, but we enjoyed STUNNING weather this week! It felt amazing to open all the windows!!! Mike even made it home one night in time to have a snack outside with the kids before bedtime, and to get some photos with me in them, for a change!
This was also our first week fever, free in 2012 – definitely cause for celebration and hopefully a new trend!
Even our little baby bump made it into the photo – with her adoring big sister:
Can you believe this pregnancy is already over halfway done?
Our indoors time this week was spent on sensory activities – we enjoyed creative sensory play using play dough and rocks as well as shaving cream! We had a few “it’s really hard to be two” days, so when a good day came I knew I wanted to remember it – so I wrote it all down. And yesterday I went to my first-ever blog conference! More on that later this week. :)

I want that weather back!!!!!!!!! Halfway already? Love the baby bump.
Me too!!! Did you get hail today? It was below freezing both this morning and yesterday at our house!
Best pictures ever in this post, Mary Anne! Made me so happy reading it and seeing y’all!
Beautiful pictures! And your belly bump is what I look like when I’m NOT pregnant. Sigh.
Wow. Look at those blue-blue eyes! Lovely!
Yea for pictures of you, your beautiful smile and eyes and bump, too!! Love how smiley and enthusiastic Lily is in these photos, too. Yes, it is very hard to be two some days/moments, and other days/moments it’s pure delight.
Here’s to a new fever-free trend at your house, coinciding with gorgeous Spring weather! And Mike home in time for an outdoor snack and photos! Hurrah! :)
No, I can’t believe this pregnancy is halfway over… amazing, and so exciting!
Love-love-love the belly shot! So jealous of your beautiful weather – our winter has finally arrived with its long rains.
Looks like we get rain today, too… Last week was perfection, though!
Cute pictures! You have an adorable baby bump. I looked more like a house. LOL!
Adorable pictures!
Thank you! :D
I love the picture of you! Your adorable!
We are having awesome weather too! It’s unbelievable!
1/2 way ….it goes fast for the rest of us! :)
Hooray for awesome weather!!!
Oh and YEAH for sunshine!
Wow! You don’t even look pregnant! What fun pictures.

I can’t wait to hear about your blog conference! I’ve wanted to go to one, but have never gotten to.
I was excited to finally go to one!
Aw, what a beautiful baby bump!
Thank you! :)
Lovely spring day and lovely family. I wish you all the best !
I bet the kids loved playing outside with them, it’s so much fun with the seasons and time change happens for those little moments of childhood. Can’t wait to hear about your Blog Conference.
That first photo of you and Lily is stunning. Both of your eyes are so blue! And no, I can’t believe you’re already halfway done with the pregnancy! That baby bump is adorable.
Thanks! People tell me Lily looks just like me; I think it’s mostly the eyes :)
Yikes, first week fever free, you have had quite a winter. Hopefully no more fevers for quite some time.
