Lots of pictures and updates this month :)
A big Congratulations goes out to Ben's brother, Chris, his wife, Audrey, and Big Brother, John, on the birth of our first niece, Elise Caroline Darland!! They will be calling her Ellie! We can't wait to meet her! :)
Brynn and Adrienne:
 |
| They were so good while we were at Home Depot for three HOURS ordering blinds and appliances. Thank you, stickers and iPad!! |
 |
| Museum trip. Silly girls! |
 |
| Little chefs chopping cilantro |
 |
| Valentine's Day cookie decorating with friends |
 |
| Haha! Ben forgot he was wearing the headband. Adrienne's picking a winner. |
 |
| The girls had so much fun at the mall! |
 |
| Grandpa came to hang out while Ben was out of town. Adrienne beat him up, as usual. |
 |
| Showing off their custom Frozen bows that my friend made! |
 |
| We visited our friends, the Petrovics, last weekend! |
Brynn:
 |
| Brynn loves the dinosaur museum! |
 |
| This was when she still had her top teeth :) |
 |
| Paleontologist in the making! |
 |
| I forgot too. |
 |
| -2 top teeth in less than 24 hours! |
 |
| Showing off her new earrings! |
 |
Big girl getting ready to get her ears pierced!! They asked her if she wanted to sit in Daddy's lap and she said, "No, thank you." So brave! She did need to wear a crown and hold a princess wand though.
|
 |
| Brynn drew a map of her favorite places: Frogurt, Playground, Toy store, JoAnn, Target, and home |
Adrienne:
-She is learning how to write letters and really surprised us! Ben taught her how to hold the pencil correctly, and he kept calling it "pecking bird" position. Can't wait until she says that to her teacher!
 |
| She wanted nothing to do with pictures at the museum. |
 |
| Her teacher said she always finishes her snacks at school. I'm not surprised! |
 |
| Adrienne's friend and future neighbor, Sophia |
 |
| Adrienne got her hair cut with no DVD player this time and did great! |
 |
| on our way home from the mall |
 |
| She NEVER lets me put anything in her hair, so her new bow was a big deal :) |
New House Progress:
Closing is scheduled for March 14th right now, but could be delayed depending on what this storm decides to do this weekend! The brick and siding will only take a few more days to finish. Waiting on a good weather streak to pour the concrete for the front porch, and get the power company to do some work. Our project manager said he's never had to deal with a winter like this one in his whole career!
 |
| It finally warmed up enough that they were able to start the brick! |
 |
| Back of the house brick is finished. Still need to do the front and left side (if it ever warms up and stops snowing!!) |
 |
| Playing on the dirt mound in the backyard |
 |
| Fireplace was a must in this house. It gets a lot colder in PA than SC :) |
 |
| Morning Room |
 |
| This picture shows the contrast of the floor against the cabinets really well! |

| This is our neighbor's cat, Jeter. He is the sweetest cat ever and comes to visit often! |
 |
