Charlie was the worst "finder." He would literally have an egg between his feet and not see it. Aunt Melissa took pity on him and was helping him out. She said to him at one point, "get that egg!" He responded with, "You get it!" I think he thought she was hunting, too!<br />

Here is my beautiful niece, Rylee. She was the youngest there, but the best hunter. This kid rocked it. Her bag was FULL. She may have gotten a few "extras" too. Who wouldn't want to add a teacup, a ball, and a fish to their egg stash? It was too cute!<br />

Charlie and I have been up to all kinds of fun messes lately. We painted toast for St. Patrick's Day, played in some puddles, made a cardboard racecar, blowing bubbles, played in the sandbox at the playground, and planted some seeds for our garden! What little boy wouldn't love playing in dirt INSIDE?</div>

I love the whimsical style and colors that the hearthsong set brings in- its a cool contrast with the trains, but still very fun!<br />

It is so neat that he is finally getting to the point where imagination kicks in. His play is more than just pushing trains- they are talking to each other and having fun!</div>

My niece calls Matthew "my Matchew," so Match is starting to stick as a bit of a nickname for our cutie pie!</div>

The poor kid gets called, "the other one" more than anything else! Anyway, he is a smiley, happy boy that gives you this look like he's in on a joke with you. Here a few pictures from the past month (not many, but more are coming in other posts). He also popped out his first tooth on March 27th!</div>

Last year during the maple syrup season, I was pregnant and nauseous- I am only just now finally able to enjoy syrup again! This meant the big project fell onto my Dad. At the end of the season, he pulled the taps and said, "That's the end of Martin and Kathleen's Sap Season!" </div>

He enjoyed it enough that this year he tapped more trees. We were again pretty useless in the help department- though we brought Charlie up to gather sap with Gaga a few times.</div>

So after they set the house, we went in to check it all out. Its been a few weeks since then. The outside work is now finished, but the inside looks sadly the same! I got on the phone with the manufacturer to tell them how unhappy we were with our builder- mostly the fact that they haven't been there to do any work! I won't bore you with details regarding the other issues. We are simply at the point everyone who builds a house gets to. We are anxious to move, and frustrated with our builder over issues we shouldn't even have to think about!</div>

The kitchen is essentially done. We have our stove and are just waiting on the rest of our appliances. One thing we realized is that we never picked out hardware for the cabinets- I guess that will be a project for us to complete later on down the road!<br />

I will say that the basement stairs are a lot nicer than anything I expected they would provide. For whatever reason, this part of the house just fascinates Charlie. "Can I go to the basement?"<br />

Anyway, after a lengthy conversation and being on the receiving end of more attitude and swearing than I wanted, there are actually a few guys there working this week. If they keep it up it could be just a few weeks- but we have been hearing that for awhile, so if we are in by the end of April I will be thrilled!</div>

On Monday, they were back to put the house together! It was so exciting to watch. "The New Driveway House," as Charlie calls it, will be done in just a few short weeks!</div>

I wanted to stay pretty far back with the kids, so we are actually watching from the side of the house, up on a hill. My father kindly painted images in my mind of the house blowing around in the wind and the cables on the crane snapping, so I wanted to be super careful with the kids. Obviously (or thankfully, I guess) it went up without any issues. The weather was beautiful and they had it all together by 12:00. </div>

Grandma brought up juice boxes for the boys, and they drank them in the back of some guy's truck. This was an extra special treat for Charlie- we never buy juice boxes. At one point I had to say to Charlie, "Look! The crane has the house in the air!" Apparently the juice box was a bigger deal to my three year old :</div>

Charlie and I made Valentine's Day SLIME! So much fun. He loved mixing it with his hands. Afterward, it took on a more gak-like texture. Very gooey, but you could mold it and bounce it. It was a total hit!</div>

Matthew was having some serious crank sessions in the evenings, and after a week of being unable to comfort him during these stretches, I figured it was probably something I was eating. Typically, if a baby is colicky, Mommy is eating one of three things. I wasn't sure I could eliminate any of them. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dairy?! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Chocolate?!! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Coffee??!?!?!?!??!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Call it love. Call it desperation. I cut all three at once. I switched to green tea in the mornings. I cut out all dairy and chocolate. Easier said than done. But it worked. Then I tried to reintroduce them one at a time. Coffee was fine, but I would now rather drink the tea. Chocolate didn't seem to matter. Dairy, oh how I will miss you! I have been off it for awhile and tried twice to reintroduce it. However, I don't think I have even paid attention to whether or not it bothers Matthew. Here's the thing. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
_It_Bothers_Me_</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We already buy rice milk for Charlie, due to the increasing research linking dairy consumption and asthma. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have been slowly working our way toward eating less meat, currently eating it less than once each week. We're still working toward completely eliminating it from our diets. This is by choice, and while some will agree and some won't, we are choosing this as a family. It stems from health concerns, </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But now I have to eliminate dairy along with it?! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh well, such is life. </div>

Anyway, because of this, I took some vegan cooking/baking books out of the library. One of the first baking recipes I tried is for banana chocolate chip muffins. The recipe was super easy! These are by far the BEST banana muffins/bread I have EVER had. They are super moist and they have chocolate chunks in them! </div>

We decided to buy Charlie a set from Hearthsong that is wooden cars, roads, etc. We were overall happy with the decision (and split the set up, so he received some of it for his birthday).<br />

His asthma causes small colds to become pretty nasty very quickly. We were in the pediatrician's office on Christmas Eve morning. Charlie ended up spending the holidays on an oral steroid, along with albuterol and budesonide via the nebulizer every few hours. It was a little difficult, but we made it through. We ended up staying home for Christmas Eve, and each opened one gift. Charlie was so excited for Christmas to come, but managed to go to sleep pretty easily!<br />
Anyway, here are shots from our Christmas Eve:<br />

I bought two gingerbread kits this year. Charlie had so much fun decorating them. By far, our little conductor thought the train was better! The only unfortunate thing was that I didn't plan for a place to keep them and they ended up hogging 1/3 of our table for the entire holiday season. </div>

They made the drive as a day trip! It must be an easier drive without kids ;-)<br />

We are still in progress on the new house! We have a basement (this was taken a week after Matthew was born. The floor in the basement is poured, we have a "tarp roof" over the basement to keep snow out and everything is ready for the house to come! We are expecting to have it delivered mid to late February and move in sometime in early March.</div>

I am *finally* getting around to posting photos from the past few months! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are a few pictures from Matthew's birth. It was an amazing experience. I delivered with the help of a midwife, and was again able to go completely natural (aside from having my water broken). Labor was only a few hours and I didn't have to push for more than 2 or 3 minutes. </div>

It was the middle of the night, and we are a group of people who like to be in bed early. Cara, Mom, Aunt Sissy and Martin were all there again this time! We took a bunch of "group" shots of everyone together after the birth, but I was breastfeeding, so I'll spare you those images! This means, however, that the only photos of the other people there were the following.<br />

My mother and Matthew:<br />
