March Madness

Here are the Final Four highlights of March for the Wiffler family. It has been a month of Madness! First and foremost, Natalie and Michael continue to grow and get even cuter. In this picture, Natalie is helping her Grandpa vacuum out his car. She is such a good helper and she is always looking for ways to contribute. She makes me so proud !


I think Michael is gaining a pound every night. After a recent sickness with strep throat, he is eating us out of house and home and he gets cuter every day. The other night we were laying in bed and I asked him whether he thought Dee-Dee (his baby doll) was beautiful. His response was, "Dee-Dee is beautiful....(pause)....Momma, you are beautiful too." My heart melted and Josh couldn't stop laughing.
The second highlight of March is getting the gardens ready. Josh filled the gardens with lots of dirt and the kids enjoyed helping with their shovels. Grandpa Jim and Carol visited and they brought more dirt! It was a nice Saturday morning moving more dirt and that afternoon Josh got seeds in the ground (in one of his gardens)! We are excited for it to start growing. You might think that some Madness has gotten into Josh, but he knows what he is doing.
The third highlight of Wiffler family March Madness is riding bikes. Here is my favorite picture of Natalie on her bike.
Michael started riding a 2-wheel bike all by himself! On the first try, he was off and going. A good portion of our weekend was spent sitting at the end of the driveway and watching him go back and forth in the street on his bike.
The last highlight of March Madness is Maple Syrup Fest at the Landscape Arboretum. In this picture, the kids learned how to tap a tree.
We filled our bellies with pancakes and maple syrup. Yummy! These are absolutely the best pancakes ever. Mr. Pancake stopped by our table.

Grandpa, Carol and Josh needed a break after eating all those pancakes (-:

I hope March Madness continues and we have more days of blue skys. Hugs and kisses to those reading!
