What even happened to the month of March?
I feel like: I blinked and it disappeared.
(And I know, that’s what old people say – maybe I’m getting old?)

After a month of recurring sickness in February – we arrived in March. Thankfully, no more sickness followed (except poor Derrick – he came down with some week-long flu-thing that THANKFULLY no one else caught!) In typical “in like a lion, out like a lamb” fashion, March 1 delivered a crazy, snap-snow-storm, and then it disappeared and we were rewarded with so many beautiful, spring-like days. (In fact, my kids got sunburned on one particularly sunny day! Braelynn just said: “Perfect! I’m ready for the beach now!”)

The biggest news of our month was that Braelynn FINALLY got her braces on! It’s a process we’ve been slowly working on for months and it was exciting to finally hit the point where she has her braces! I think she looks adorable and thankfully, she hasn’t experienced too much discomfort from them!

Moments of note this month:
(1:01) Braces day!
(2:21) The kids jumped the gun a little bit and planted some bean plants they had germinated outside – they were able to flourish out there for about a week before a frost forced them inside. They’re still growing, but they’re now hanging out in my dining room for the foreseeable future.
(3:13) Leander arrived at his cousin’s birthday picnic in a tiger costume
(4:22) My brother gave Braelynn his old guitar and she started taking lessons from her Papa via the Amazon Alexa – technology is incredible!
(4:40) Happy birthday, Layla!
(5:14) Leander lost a tooth..
(6:08) ..and then, less than 24 hours later, Braelynn also lost a tooth! CRAZY!
(6:47) First trip of the year to the skate park!
(7:58) My Meme hosted all of her granddaughters for a special dinner and let us look through her jewelry to pick out anything we wanted (peep Meme at the end of the live photo I took of us at (8:47)!)
(8:50) Derrick finally got himself a DRONE
(10:00) Happy birthday, Alethea!

My goal is to take all the little videos I take over the course of a month and create a short (my goal is to be around 10 minutes) video of my favorite snippets. I am SO excited to finally have a dedicated place to chronicle my family videos and keep them safe and accessible. #HomeMovies

All videos captured on my iPhone 14 Pro.

Enjoy a tiny little peek into what our March looked like!
