12/Year- March

Another month, another link up with Barb for the March installment of 12/Year photo diary. Wow, what a crazy month it was in the midst of Lent.  There were illnesses, an overnight stay at the ER, the papal conclave, consecration preparation, St. Patrick's day parade, March Madness brackets, trips to the park, snow, more snow, Daylight Savings Time (ugh!) and of course, Easter! Whew, aren't you tired with me?  So when you're done over here go and visit Barb at Praying for Grace for the rest.

 

March began with a sick child, he slept mostly on the couch and read his missal (and other books but I do love that he reads his missal!)

the sister tried to entertain him with some fancy thing in an old cellphone. It is not in service so the kids use it to take pictures and listen to Hannah Montana praise music

cold nights are for cuddling with dad - guess who's supposed to be sleeping?  (clue it's not the dad LOL)

and then the sun came - as long as there is sunlight we brave the cold to play at the park

this time mama's It! note the cup of coffee on one hand to keep me warm and, well, awake lol

my husband took this photo during my overnight stay at the hospital, three boys slept on our bed

Habemus Papam! March 13, it seemed so long ago

St. Patrick's Day parade downtown

the baby picked up some candies being thrown at the parade as the beginnings of a fever kicked in

March Madness!!!

inspired by Jessica's kids over at Shower of Roses, my kids made their own Lego edition Habemus Papam

shiny new pillbox to remind me to take my meds I'm old, this might be worse than wrinkles LOL

and of course, more snow during Holy Week!

Alleluia! Jesus lost His right hand and we're still trying to find it!

can a mother just get a decent Easter picture?!?
