March Madness

Troy and I have long participated with some family members in a bracket tournament.  Unfortunately neither of us has ever won.  Luke saw our paper brackets on Wednesday and wanted to know what they were for.  We explained them to him and then Troy thought it would be fun for Luke to have his own bracket too (we didn't enter it into the actual competition though).  After they had completed most of the southern side of the picks we decided to record Luke's choices--just in case.  The video is a bit long but I couldn't decide where to shorten the first round picks so you get them all.  Luke had fun making his selections.  I think though after today's upset of Georgetown that his somewhat reasonable choices may have been jinxed.  Of course my bracket is more than half red at this point too--what a crazy tournament it has been.  I guess that's why they call it March Madness!

States I've Touched

I found a pin on Pinterest that allowed you to check off which states you've "touched" and then it created a map for you.  I thought it was pretty cool.  The above are the states that I have been too.  I may have flown over or stopped at an airport in states not colored but I chose to go with states I've actually spent a bit of time in.  The total for me is 28.  So I'm over half way to seeing all the states.  I would like to think that I will visit them all in my life time.  I definitely want to see Hawaii, Alaska, Oregon, Washington and it's not a choice on this map but Washington DC.

Random Notes

Just a few quick tidbits:

*Hannah rolled over for the first time on Monday.  She has yet to repeat her manuver.
*Luke tried to teach Hannah how to give butterfly kisses tonight before dinner.
*Hannah has changed her beautiful, wonderful, amazingly awesome schedule.  Until last Thursday she was sleeping a minimum of 8 hours at night and then my bubble burst big time.  Last night was the best night since with almost 6 hours.  I'm still not complaining though because for 12 weeks I think that is fantastic.
*Luke had five 5-star days last week :)
*I signed up for my first parent/teacher conference today.  I'm anxious to see what Luke's MDO teachers have to say about where he is academically for his age.
*Luke filled out his own basketball bracket tonight with Troy.  His final two: Duke and Georgetown.
*The weather has been beautiful this week.  We have enjoyed numerous trips to different parks, taken several walks and enjoyed time in the backyard.
*My children look so much alike--it's a tad bit scary!  Just check out this picture (which I completely adore by the way):

Yesterday was a beautiful day!!!  While Luke was playing in the sandbox Hannah had her first photo shoot outside.  I think I got some really great shots.
