Tuff and Mary: Mostly Lamb and a Little Bit Lion

March has been incredibly mild until spring officially hit, then our lack of snow all winter decided it was appropriate timing. Really only two days of snow. Today was back to warm weather.

However Easter at Uncle Jay's in Saint Xavier, almost reaching 70 degrees, was exceptional.

Celebrating Grace's 4th birthday (April Fools Day) on Easter with the Harris family.

The beginning of March we celebrated cuzzie Amara and Kimber's birthdays. It was also cuzzie Kylee's birthday right around the same time.

At Grandma Merle Jean's after the birthday party with lots of cuzzies.

Mid March, Tuff took a crew of men with him to Mighty Men Advance. This year they held it near Devil's Lake, North Dakota. Here is what the website says about Might Men Advance:

The Mighty Men Advance was birthed in the Black Hills of South Dakota in 2005. What began with just a handful of men who desired to seek God in the serenity of the beautiful Black Hills has evolved into something so profound and life changing that men from all over this nation have come to participate in its completely unforgettable experience.

Last week Liza had a little surgery on a hair follicle gone bad. It has a medical name but I don't remember that. It laid as a dormant little hard bump just under the surface of her skin since November, not bothering her until one day it flared up.

The picture below is after removing the bad stuff. Liza was a trooper.

Enjoying the spring weather most of March.

Session II of One Heart Warriors Leadership Program wrapped up in early March. Celebration dinner.

Now session III is full throttle. Below is one of the trainees and Tuff getting the opportunity to baptize a young woman in front of the Faith Chapel community. They will be traveling to Guatemala this July for One Heart's first participation in global missions.

Here I am recently at 34 weeks pregnant. I'm feeling great physically and have the normal anticipation of "any day now." Mostly excited, but anxious about wrangling three little ones. Fun fact: I turned 32 March 15th and also turned 32 weeks pregnant.

Apparently a month chalk full of birthdays. A huge happy birthday (March 26th) and congrats to my dad! He was inducted into the Minnesota Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association Hall of Fame tonight.
