Vance Reunion
This past weekend, while BJ was helping with the high school Ignite retreat, I headed to Illinois to visit with my family. For the first time in nine years, all of my dad's siblings were in one place. AND we have a new addition to the family with my new cousin (who traveled all the way from Scotland like a champ!) Isla! She's amazing!

I think we have...
...officially offset our carbon footprint. :) Spring has just sprung and we have already planted 108 trees! Between this year and last year... easily 250 trees planted!
Orchid Show...
This weekend we had such a nice visit with my parents! They got to meet our new pup which was an added bonus. On Saturday we headed out for lunch with Eric and Erin and got to catch (on accident) the orchid show at the Krohn Conservatory! 
My Famous Mom!
My mom is so great! :) Check out this video highlighting one of her classes at Saint Mary's College. I am so fortunate to have her help with financial things too. This year she helped me complete our taxes... by myself... using the actual forms! I checked my work with TurboTax and was spot on. :)

why I couldn't resist...
Here's more of our new addition. She's had three names in the past five days... and we've finally settled on Zoe.... my great friend Jess had a beagle named Zoe and so without thinking that's what I kept calling this new one... even though we had changed her shelter name (Chelsea) to Delilah. But then we discovered how close Delilah and Layla sound... so Zoe it was. Hope Jess doesn't mind! :)

New Puppy!
We got Layla a new friend today... we're not quite sure what she is... Here are her Petfinder photos... 
She came from (as BJ describes...) the in-sorry-shape Aurora animal shelter. She had been there since February 17th and we don't know much else. The best news is that she is handling Layla's spazziness like a pro. She's independant but so sweet - she curled up in my lap the first second I met her. Now... we just need to figure out a name...

Outlet Boots
Ever since Alaska I've had my eye out for a great pair of rain boots... thank you outlet mall! :)
Falling Water
On our way back from Seven Springs Chris, Chrissy, BJ and I were able to stop in to visit Frank Loyd Wright's famous 'Falling Water'. It was amazing! We weren't able to get a tour of the inside... but this meant less people overall so we were able to walk around nearly by ourselves!
Seven Springs (PA) Ski Trip
We had an awesome mini vacation this weekend in Seven Springs! JUST what we needed. :) Can you tell I was too cold to care about showing my face?

Gorman Heritage Farm
For Valentine's Day BJ and I signed up for a tree pruning class at Gorman Heritage Farm and we LOVED it! We learned all about pruning fruit trees, met some nice people who also love fruit trees and... as an added bonus... we were able to see dozens of baby lambs, many of which just a week old!

BJ's Photos... Interrupted
BJ was taking photos when he spotted a few of these guys in the next lot over... a little scary! :) Thankfully Layla wasn't with him or we might have one less dog right now. 
Can you spot the two coyotes in this photo?
