We went to Maryland last week for a few days to visit with John’s sister and her 5 kids. They have waterfront property and OH MY GOODNESS was it amazing. My youngest nephew is 6 weeks older than Mareto – so they’re basically twins and and had so much fun together!! Mareto loved having a buddy to play with and Casper (my nephew) thought he was hilarious. They were so adorable! I forgot my camera… so no pics. But my sister in law took some on her phone, so I need to get those from her.
My mom emailed me some pictures yesterday. They were taken months ago at the zoo and she forgot she had them… oh the cuteness…

Mareto is cutting FIVE teeth at once. Yes. It’s been a lot of sleepless nights here. Poor thing (and I am referring to both Mareto and myself there). ; )
The next Basket of Love is coming!!! Tomorrow I hope… I just have to get the post made. It is going to be so amazing – I just know it! I have a BIG goal in mind for this basket. I would love to raise the remaining amount we need to submit our dossier and be ready to get matched with our little one! I’m hoping to be able to submit everything by the end of April. Please pray that God would move mountains! We still need almost $4,000… BUT we know it’s totally possible! So stay tuned… awesome basket coming!!
Today is a lazy, stay in our pj’s and snuggle kind of day at the Casper house. We’ve been so busy lately and it’s cold and gloomy outside, so we decided it was a perfect day to do NOTHING! Yay. : )

Kate - What a fun relaxing time with family! My word, you and your mom are twins! I thought it was you with short hair!!
Kelly - Sounds like y’all had so much fun on your trip!
We understand the teething struggles around here – Levi’s only getting 2 teeth right now, but it’s made him pretty cranky and clingy the last week or so!
Christy - Trips like that are so fun! And that zoo trip looks like a blast. Your Mareto is adorable.
I will be praying for him as the teething struggle continues…. poor guy!
