We were spoiled in the month of March with TWO grandparents visits!
Kaye K and Big Daddy came for a weekend in the beginning of the month, catching Rooke's last two basketball games of the season, and getting to join us for church at CBC on Sunday!
Some in the family wanted to chill at home, but Bridgette, Kaye K and I were up for a little adventure to the Postal Museum, which is Bridgette's declared favorite museum, and one of the few my mom hadn't visited. It was a beautiful day for a little walk downtown.

It's so good to be looooooovvvvvvveedd!!
A successful science experiment is a pretty big deal in our house! My strengths are in music, not so much science. So we make a big deal (like laminating for posterity) when something actually works!
Rooke cashed in his "Ice Cream Date with Mommy" coupon and we went all out with ginormous waffle cones!!
Sometimes you just need a selfie with the people you love.
Neighbors collecting at our corner, enjoying some early Spring sun. I'm thankful for our sprawling outdoor space and the trampoline that invites kids and their parents to stop and linger.
Bridgette's Birthday!!
Our beautiful girl turned SIX! She's been SO ready for this birthday. Most of her friends are already six, and she works hard to stay a part of what her older siblings do, so she's been ready for this official badge of "oldness" for a while. I don't normally purchase new clothes for my kids (thanks to grandparents and thrift stores), but this jumper was screaming "Bridgette's birthday present", and she loved it as much as I hoped she would =)
We picked up two of her sweet friends and took them to the Postal Museum (yes, again!) and lunch out for a morning celebration with the birthday girl.
We kept the party going with more neighborhood friends over to decorate cupcakes!
Cheers!
B showing off her new watch from the OK Paynes - she loves it!
And the most special gift of the day was Grammy Deb's arrival! Just in time for family birthday dinner and more cupcakes!
Grammy Deb arrived just in time for the first day of Spring - say what?! We literally got at least eight inches of snow in one day, and the kids made the most of it!
We visited the Bible Museum while Deborah was here and paused for a quick photo with the rooftop view.
Grammy Deb helped proof Rooke for his Memory Master challenge. It was special to have Deborah take part in one of our big learning goals for the year.
And just before we said goodbye, the snow had melted and the temps were warm enough for ice cream!
