March

Here's a taste of what we've been up to this March. I can't believe it's April! It might start to feel like spring if it would stop snowing. My big girl is almost 4 and we've started dreaming up her first birthday party with friends. She can't stop talking about it.

Clara has started to "trap" her sister's arms...and apparently Savannah doesn't mind.
This is what I get to see when I get her out of bed. I can't get enough of her smile.

Savannah and Clara's baby (Sarah) during some not-so-productive tummy time.

During Jason's spring break I took Clara and Savannah, along with some friends, up to the Children's Museum in Pittsburgh. There was a wind room, a garage room, and a water room that Clara liked best. We had a lot of fun and it gave Jason a whole day of uninterrupted studying.

Later in the week we went to Washington D.C. to visit our friends Steve and Bekah and also visit the Natural History Museum. The museum was a bit old for Clara, but she especially liked the bugs exhibit. Jason touched a cockroach and held a centipede (or a millipede, I can't remember)...eek. It was fun to be in a big city again. We also went to the Washington D.C. Temple, which was wonderful. We all "slept" in the same room, and didn't get much sleep, so when we got home we needed a vacation from our vacation.


Jason is nearing the end of his second year of medical school (YAHOO!) and received what Clara calls his "big white coat," along with the rest of his class. (Doesn't he look handsome?) After the ceremony when the med students were all walking around in their white coats Clara said, "Look at all the doctors everywhere!" It was a fun milestone along this long road. Jason will be done with classes at the end of April and will have tests in May. In June he will take the first part of his boards, which will determine what kind of residency he'll be able to do. So, although the semester is almost over, there are many many weeks of studying left. Sigh...
