March maddness

Seriously! The last month has been a blur! To start with..we both have March birthdays! We kept it low key but I wanted a date for my birthday! And so we got a baby-sitter (thanks Jean!) and went to dinner at a Japanese steakhouse and then went ice skating! (Note: we went ice skating on our first date and haven't been since. It was a bit nostalgic for me!) I do have to say that the place was PACKED. There was a regional swim meet, hockey game and open skating that night at the athletic center. Also, ice skating is 'the place to be' on Saturday nights for teenagers. Texting and skating too.. grrrrrr.... And there were tons of little kids too. I think we were the only adults out there. Let's not talk about how hard it was not to feel like an idiot when all these tiny kids go zipping past on the ice because they've been playing hockey since they were like 3.... anyway. It was fun. I tried to convince myself I wouldn't fall down a lot..don't know why I was so confident because I fell within the first 10 minutes and about every 10 minutes until we left. But we had a blast and it was sooooooooo good to have a night out.

 Why it's so difficult for me to lift my stinking leg I have NO IDEA!

Kurtis in a spin.. can't you tell? See! That was one of those little speed demons. Always in the way..

BUT WAIT! I also happened upon something amazing on Craigslist.... a piano! Within a week this baby was safe and sound (thanks to the missionaries and Bryce and the May's truck) in my living room. Sarah is thrilled to play it all the time and gets mad at me when I sit down to play on her piano.

 Isn't she just adorable! I can't wait to give her lessons. I swear she was plinking out notes to "twinkle twinkle" the other day...

 But most days I'm just hanging around with these two imps. Sarah won't let me get too many pictures because she's so interested in what's on the camera screen.

And she likes to climb all over me if I'm on the ground.
