March-the month that got away!

We are loving spring!! It finally arrived about halfway through the month and we were happy to open the windows and soak up the sun! Grandma (aka Mamo) was gone for the first week of this month, she was in Washington state spending time with Grandma and Grandpa, we were all jealous! But, Beau got a great experience spending some time with new babysitters!! He went over to our nighbors and had a blast with the kids over there. And then spent some time on the farm with Dylan, Carly and Aunt Becky! I was worried that he might give them a run for their money or ear plugs, but he did great!! Just goes to show, he is growing up and ok with leaving mommy, daddy and mamo. He loves being outside and playing with the kids in the neighborhood, and thanks to the weather, he was able to do just that.
On the 19th we celebrated Tom's birthday, now at 33, just as young as ever, or so he thinks!! Some friends from Norfolk came up and we had a good weekend for his big day. But, the weekend was not without excitement, Beau got his first battlescar. He decided to boogieboard down the deck stairs on the babygate! I found him at the bottom of the stairs with two deep cuts over his right eye. I tried not to panic, but got him to the ER and he got away with only 6 stiches!! He was such a trooper! Even laughing and talking in the car on the way to the hospital! Just the first of many to come.

Squeeze it all in!!

Things have been busy around the Sargent house. February found mommy one year older at now a solid 30!! I was surprised by my girlfriends from Virgina Beach who came and decorated the house, cooked us dinner and treated me to a pedicure! It was so nice to just spend time with my friends. Oh how times have changed as well as our lifestyles!! We were all asleep by 10:30 on Friday night!! (party animals, uh?).
Beau had a rough month. He had an eye surgery to correct his strabismis(eyes turning in) in both eyes. He came out fighting and very upset that he wasn't with mommy and daddy, but settled down on the way home. The only visible scar was the redness in his eyes for about two weeks. We were all so pleased with the results and never realized just how far his eyes did turn in, we were just blinded by love!
We have been enjoying the melting snow and look forward to being outside soon!
