			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>March 1 / Saturday / The first March picture is one I took at our DDs&#8217; house, where we stayed overnight on our way to visit DS#1 and his family. DD#2 and DD#3 snuggled up in the recliner and played games while DH made pancakes before we left for DS&#8217;s house.</p>
<p><a title="DD#3 and DD#2 by christmasnotebook, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2302778939/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3030/2302778939_099ac34252.jpg" alt="DD#3 and DD#2" width="500" height="402" /></a></p>
<p>March 2 / Sunday / We got reacquainted with the twins.</p>
<p><a title="Grandpa gets twin time by christmasnotebook, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2306604734/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2186/2306604734_8045c327db.jpg" alt="Grandpa gets twin time" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>March 3 / Monday / I love this picture of Tabitha. Her eyes are so bright and her face is so new and clear.  No harsh lines, no worry lines, no grief lines. No &#8220;life&#8221; lines.  Yet.</p>
<p><a title="Tabitha by christmasnotebook, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2308026061/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2047/2308026061_3af2788500.jpg" alt="Tabitha" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>March 4 / Tuesday / DD#3 was quite taken with the babies. I love the look on her face in this picture.</p>
<p><a title="play time by christmasnotebook, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2310897147/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3044/2310897147_5555acb981.jpg" alt="play time" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>March 5 / Wednesday / We got some great portraits of the girls in the cute dresses I found for them.</p>
<p><a title="the girlies by christmasnotebook, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2313166451/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2362/2313166451_a8baf116dd.jpg" alt="the girlies" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>March 6 / Thursday / We got home in the afternoon after a week away. DH and DD#3 spent most of the remaining afternoon outside. They burned the tall grass, a task usually done in February, though weather did not permit that this year. Our spring is late in coming, so the grasses have not shown any green tips yet. Still time to burn.</p>
<p><a title="burning the tall grass by christmasnotebook, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2316878069/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2042/2316878069_9a5e839afb.jpg" alt="burning the tall grass" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>March 7 / Friday / Hmmm&#8230;no pics taken this day.</p>
<p>March 8 / Saturday / I had fun trying some macro photography for my first posts to <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/macromonday/">Macro Mondays</a>.</p>
<p><a title="move eight spaces... by christmasnotebook, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2323196612/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3139/2323196612_74044d8388.jpg" alt="move eight spaces..." width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>March 9 / Sunday / We traveled two hours to my sister&#8217;s house for a family meeting.</p>
<p>Sibling #7, #1, #2 (me), #3 (one of the twins), #5, #4 (the other twin), #6, and my parents.</p>
<p><a title="family portrait by christmasnotebook, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2323073700/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2055/2323073700_89424db65f.jpg" alt="family portrait" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>March 10 / Monday / I like the way this picture turned out. Buttercup just *had* to investigate the set up for my macro photography of game pieces.</p>
<p><a title="how should I play this one? by christmasnotebook, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2324186481/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3241/2324186481_99befa4280.jpg" alt="how should I play this one?" width="375" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>March 11 / Tuesday / I discovered the macro and super macro modes on my camera. What fun!</p>
<p><a title="paperweight by christmasnotebook, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2328372150/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3141/2328372150_9b0484ea13.jpg" alt="paperweight" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>March 12 / Wednesday / We worked in the yard, cleaned branches and garden debris from the yard, piled it on the burn pile, and had a wiener roast that evening. Hot dogs and S&#8217;mores.</p>
<p><a title="yummy! by christmasnotebook, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2330384302/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3070/2330384302_896aac194f.jpg" alt="yummy!" width="375" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>March 13 / Thursday / Another shot for Macro Mondays. This one for the assignment: books.</p>
<p><a title="mar 2008 231 by christmasnotebook, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2332435458/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3264/2332435458_b9d9f34169.jpg" alt="mar 2008 231" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>March 14 / Friday / DD#2 arrived home for spring break. It will be good to have her home for the next week.</p>
<p><a title="home for spring break by christmasnotebook, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2335634743/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3209/2335634743_afc694447a.jpg" alt="home for spring break" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>March 15 / Saturday / DD#3 and DH helped serve at the 4H Pancake Day. I spent some time helping at the ticket table. Saw a lot of people I haven&#8217;t seen for a while. This afternoon, we took DS#2 and DDIL to the airport for their flight to London.</p>
<p><a title="serving drinks at pancake day by christmasnotebook, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2335654765/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2329/2335654765_9d5f04b049.jpg" alt="serving drinks at pancake day" width="375" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>March 16 / Sunday / When DH and DD burned the tall grasses last week, they moved this bench away from the fire. DH set it back in place today as we walked the yard this afternoon.  Cloudy, breezy, 48*. A little chilly with the wind, but it is good to see spring coming up. We found catnip coming to life in the veggie garden, so we picked some for the kitties. Happy ignored it. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2339709978/">Buttercup ate it all.</a></p>
<p><a title="resetting the bench by christmasnotebook, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2338874813/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2181/2338874813_2f9a8ba166.jpg" alt="resetting the bench" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>March 17 / Monday / Happy St. Patrick&#8217;s Day! This afternoon DD#2 and I walked through the yard, snapping pictures. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemerocallis_fulva">tawny daylilies</a> are always the first daylilies up and they are a beautiful shade of green when they are this fresh and new.</p>
<p><a title="tawny daylily by christmasnotebook, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2341249679/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2077/2341249679_46b2cbe4c8.jpg" alt="tawny daylily" width="375" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>March 18 / Tuesday / Rain, rain, rain. Weather news said Cape had 10&#8243; yesterday, so I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if we are near that here.</p>
<p><a title="under water by christmasnotebook, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2343720035/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3134/2343720035_25c205afff.jpg" alt="under water" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>March 19 / Wednesday / In spite of my bringing the Von Sion in early, the miniature Tete-a-Tete daffodil opened first. DH picked it last night when he came home from work.</p>
<p><a title="the mini wins by christmasnotebook, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2345769236/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3002/2345769236_236a45c2d1.jpg" alt="the mini wins" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>March 20 / Thursday / In the early evening, I caught this photo of the sunlight shining through the goblets on the shelves that display my Christmas china.</p>
<p><a title="setting sun by christmasnotebook, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2348807796/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2371/2348807796_73c4a595f6.jpg" alt="setting sun" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>March 21 / Good Friday / I assisted DD#2 in picking frames for her new eye glasses.</p>
<p><a title="can't decide... by christmasnotebook, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2349866873/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3125/2349866873_57453b2ff3.jpg" alt="can't decide..." width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>March 22 / Saturday / DD#3 colored a dozen eggs today. Tomorrow they&#8217;ll be deviled eggs for dinner. I think the cups of dye are as pretty as the colorful eggs are.</p>
<p><a title="Easter egg dye by christmasnotebook, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2352605552/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3143/2352605552_05ebfa1f54.jpg" alt="Easter egg dye" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>March 23 / Sunday / Happy Easter! Christ is risen! Indeed, He is risen!</p>
<p>My favorite Easter candy? Snickers eggs. I could hunt for these every day&#8230;</p>
<p><a title="my favorite Easter candy by christmasnotebook, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2355885888/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2312/2355885888_4e8111376d.jpg" alt="my favorite Easter candy" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The twins posed beautifully this morning for some portraits.</p>
<p>Tabitha and Miranda, our first grandchildren. They are four months old tomorrow.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2313166451/" title="the girlies by christmasnotebook, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2362/2313166451_a8baf116dd.jpg" alt="the girlies" height="375" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Three sisters and an aunt. I think Tabitha looks a lot like her aunt did as an infant.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2313164925/" title="3 sisters and an aunt by christmasnotebook, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3118/2313164925_6ec898b06c.jpg" alt="3 sisters and an aunt" height="375" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>I took one of DS&#8217;s baby outfits along and we put it on each of the girls for pictures. Not bad for a 28 year old outfit.  ;-D</p>
<p>&#8220;Precious Baby&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2313987036/" title="Tabitha by christmasnotebook, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3049/2313987036_227879cc73.jpg" alt="Tabitha" height="500" width="375" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2313172125/" title="Miranda and G'ma by christmasnotebook, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3146/2313172125_49be06e97a.jpg" alt="Miranda and G'ma" height="500" width="375" /></a></p>
<p>Big sister, Mommy, Daddy, and the girls.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2313209831/" title="family portrait by christmasnotebook, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2104/2313209831_4bc6d77047.jpg" alt="family portrait" height="375" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Tabitha and Daddy. DS is a stay-at-home-dad, and doing a great job with caring for the girls. Mom works days, DS works a few nights a week.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2313988596/" title="Tabitha and Daddy by christmasnotebook, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2227/2313988596_9fd3a8c22d.jpg" alt="Tabitha and Daddy" height="500" width="375" /></a></p>
<p>We are on our way home. Had a great visit and are looking forward to their visiting us in July!  ~~Rhonda</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> On the way east to visit the grandbabies, we stopped for the night and stayed with DD#1 and DD#2. It was great to see them again. This morning, DH made pancakes with chocolate chips. Made a camera shaped one for DD#2 who is in a photography program.  Of course, they didn&#8217;t get a picture of it.  <img src='http://christmasnotebook.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>This afternoon, we arrived at DS#1&#8242;s house and had a great visit with his family, a delicious supper, and lots of fun getting reacquainted with the babies&#8230;twin girls.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christmasnotebook/2302780825/" title="g'pa and g'ma by christmasnotebook, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2358/2302780825_e5d7e7d63f.jpg" alt="g'pa and g'ma" height="375" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Look at that face&#8230;Miranda&#8217;s keeping an eye on Aunty.</p>

<p>Tabitha and Miranda both have blue, blue eyes.</p>
