March


8 years baby! 💓





 

Michael Joe turned 34 this year. He got a massive carrot cake, a cat card and some cool gloves;) 



We signed up little Knowie for kindergarten 😭 

Gwinna had her Portuguese dancing and singing presentation.
It amazes me how quickly she has learned all of it!


Sia loved that rainbow ball (left) and it has sadly been deflated by the dog next door.  
Noelle and Gwinna are dancing dramatically (right) to David Lanz's "Dancing on the Berlin Wall" 

Block building waiting for Gwinna to finish piano lessons with Grandma. ^^

Girls took a trip to the rock show with Grandma & Grandpa. So awesome! 


Dad braved the Target alone with the girls 🤣

lots of shopkin and block set ups in this house nowadays 😊
In general, I cannot handle toys but I do love those shopkins 😏

I also love when people ask me if they can steal my kids for the day. 
Yes please. Thank you.  ANYTIME😁
Tia Stephanie and Tio Brian having fun with the babies while me and mama were at Maddie's bridal shower!
(which ended up being a nice little getaway of 3 hours...presents and food and funny sisters;)

(turned out really well. good job to Michael Joe! He did it all:)


....and then this happened ^^^ Well...Lil created this little wall of amazingness for inspiration during labor!  LOVE. IT. 
We welcomed sweet, big eyed, beautiful baby Jethro Dahlin Barrett into the world on March 19th.   Lots of nervous texting through the night with Mom and Sophia...Mom was pacing, I was vacuuming, Sophia was already scheming to be here as soon as she could. 
Next night was just as nerve wracking with Soph ACTUALLY driving through the night to meet her baby nephew🤣
We all drove to meet him together and he is just pure magic and goodness!

February










 February, in general, was uneventful.  Gwinna did unicorn valentines for the girls and some kind of fortnite character for the boys in her class?  She also included "unicorn poop" marshmallows:) We did a lot of staying in the house poor girls...I am such a homebody.  
We all got adjusted by Grandpa^^^  
The most exciting moment in February was welcoming a new cousin to the family.  He came into the world on February 27th and Sia called him Karen:) His actual name is Perrin Henry Dahlin.

sugar cookies with my sisters

These girls got these elves last year from their Tia Stephanie and now expect them to be moving around everyday in December:) A LOT of work, yet fun to come up with things and see their faces happy in the morning:) 



Gallo waiting for Gwinna


We bought a pink tree for the girls room this year and I LOVE it.
I did not think I could ever love an artificial tree so much!



Our first Silva Injury Law Christmas dinner!!!:) 



Peppa pig and pink pancakes for Sia's third birthday:) 

Gingerbread houses (love the small ones) and Hilmar Cheese.
