Ahhhh finally some great weather to be outside.  Traci and Marlowe both got new bikes this month.  Marlowe was so scared at first, but now she loves being pulled along.  Its kind of humorous watching these two.  If she's not riding her bike then she has been on a tea party kick with her dolls.  That keeps her pretty busy.  She's started a new art class with her friend Lydia.  She seems to like this one better than the last one in the winter.  Her artwork is much better and she actually wants to talk about it some.  Probably the funniest thing this month is our bathrooms....we have 3 bathrooms and I can tell you every time Marlowe has been in one of them right before me cause the toilet paper is all jacked up and messy.  At least she's gotten to the point in taken care of herself in those situations.

This month Marlowe has started to read.  She's been really obsessed with all the Frozen books and is actually starting to learn the words.

Grandpa Bob died this month.  It was really fast as he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer just 3 weeks prior.  Marlowe had a ton of questions but did really well with everything.  He will be greatly missed by all.  I worry about Grandma Mable and how she will do.  Marlowe has no problems snuggling with her as she moved in to her new place

Good ole Grandpa Bob...We'll miss you Boss.  Still can't pull for the Cubs but every time I see them play you come to mind first thing.  Man could we get on a BS'ing roll when I would bring Marlowe over for a couple of hours.  Thanks for the trip to D.C. my friend and we'll meet on the other side
