Check out this video of Liam and Evangeline cheering (well sort of) "Let's Go Nova!" during Villanova's March Madness run. Evangeline is our friends' Robin and Nick's daughter and Nick is an alum too.



Daddy and Donovan watching March Madness. Villanova made it to the Final Four this year.


Liam loves his new pirate bed! In March he got this bunk bed and was a superstar with his transition to a regular bed.


So now I've got things in the correct chronilogical order. In my earlier days (pre-Donovan), I might have deleted my other posts further down of GG, Grandpa's and Brendan's visit that are not in the right order and redo them...now I'm lucky I'm doing this much!
Anyway, here is GG with her boys. Notice the shoes that Donovan is wearing. We got them to stay on , just long enough for this shot. They are the smallest shoes that Converse makes.
Cute! Grandpa H and Donovan. (D is 3 months here.)


Lollipop brothers. Liam and his friend, Landon.

We had a freak snow storm in early March after it had been in the 70's for three weeks or so. I was excited to get everyone bundled up and go outside for the only possibility of making a snowball for the winter. Luckily, I had Liam's snowsuit from when we lived in Nova Scotia for Donovan to wear.

I then realized, I had nothing for Liam to wear, so I thought back to my Canadian winter days and remembered to "layer." Poor Liam could barely bend his arms or legs. He did manage to make a small snowball.
Here is Ella, the snowgirl.



Our house post Mardi Gras party...oh how my Mardi Gras parties have changed!
Liam and Vanessa on Mardi Gras with the masks that they made.

Liam's really good friend Vanessa...they laugh so hard together.
This shot was taken the day that Donovan stopped "crying" at three months and one week. He literally cried his way through his first three months. Mama remembers, oh so well. This is probably one of the main reasons why I didn't update our blog during this time! I chose sleep over computer time.

Cutie pie!

I love this sleeping position. Donovan is 3 months here.

Going for a walk all bundled up on Valentine's Day.

Really cute pic of Donovan smiling. Notice that there are not too many picture of Liam and Donovan together when Donovan was still new on the scene. Liam did not want to be near him for a picture. Luckily, relations have improved between them and now they will actually pose together.

Here is a really adorable pic of Liam and his Daddy playing pirates right before bed. This is when Liam was still in his toddler bed, around February. He moved over to his "big boy" pirate bed and switched rooms in March.

OK, so I'm a little disorganized this time, and definately out of order, but here is a really cute picture of Grandpa Petersen's visit back in February. They are watching the SuperBowl here and Donovan is 2 months old here.

Liam climbed a lot of stairs at Mt. Trashmore so he could fly his kite.
Here's the little firefighter flying his first kite.

Here is a video of Liam flying his kite.
GG came to visit us just before St. Patrick's Day. Donovan is happy to be in her arms.
Grandpa Hanrahan was here too to meet Baby Donovan, almost 4 months.

Uncle Brendan and Liam play "pirate" and also "manhole." This is Liam's game where he like to take the cushions from the couch and rearrange them so they make a hole.


It was a really fun visit. Here is Brendan, GG, Donovan, and Grandpa.
