Our local mall has an ice-skating rink and Ruby had wanted to go for so long. We finally found a time to take Ruby and Jace, while Paul's parents could watch Annie on the sidelines.
Jace's time on the rink was short-lived. He had fun but when Papa asked if he'd rather ride the carousel, he quickly chose that option. Which made less work for me!
Ruby had a blast and enjoyed her time alone with both parents. She definitely needed assistance but was stronger at the end than when she started.
We picked up Lauren from preschool one day and spent the rest of the afternoon together!
And I got a taste of twins one morning when we watched our neighbor's little guy for a few hours. He is just a few weeks younger than Annie. And so cute!

Jace was enamored by this bearded dragon. He kept going back to touch him.
Walking in the "woods" behind our house has become a new favorite.
No sheds but we found a small skull... probably a raccoon we decided. ;)
Now, come on Spring!
