Easter

Tacky Day and Crazy Hair

During Homecoming Week, Tyler's school had a theme each day. She was sick half the week so she only got to participate in two - Tacky Day and Crazy Hair Day. We were amazed that she didn't win a prize for Tacky Day!

Sorry!

It's been so long since I've last posted - I know!

In February we took a trip to Florida with the boys so I could meet up with some friends from Princeton.

While we we gone, Scott took Tyler on a date to a sushi place called Jiaat the Beau Rivage. He bought her flowers, did valet parking, ate dinner and had ice cream. It was quite a night for them!

Here are some shots of Tate's first haircuts in February:



Finally, in mid-February I took Eben to the Monster Truck Jam. It was amazing to see the big trucks. (Yes, that's me and him really tiny in front of the truck!) We also loved the dirt bikes.



Oh, and we can't let the season pass without mentioning Mardi Gras. With our trip to Florida we weren't actually here for Mardi Gras week but we made it out to one parade.

MLK Jr. Day Trip to the Zoo

On MLK Jr. Day we journeyed north to Hattiesburg and checked out the Hattiesburg Zoo. It's really small but good for a young family. Plus, they have a train which is really all Eben really cared about! See pictures of our trip below ...

My friend, "Caterpillar"

This morning Eben found a caterpillar and named him, appropriately, "Caterpillar" (following his sister in the Castleman tradition of creative naming such as "Dog-Dog", "Giraffe" and "Lamby"). We made a little home for him in a jelly jar. Eben asked me if caterpillars had hearts and then said he was asking because he wondered if the caterpillar loved him. Awww!
