We slipped into the CBTL by our old house this afternoon to pick up thank you gift cards for our CBS teachers, and we bought so many that we earned a free drink. The kids are all now fans of Swedish Berries iced tea (sweetened)!
Last week, we had one last playdate with Mac-and-cheese Micah (so called because of our traditional yummy lunch that Melanie whips up whenever we come over) before they left for Guam.

Lydia just sent me pictures of Elizabeth’s playdate with Lily, her friend who lives on the other side of campus. They have so much fun together!

It’s our spring break this week, so we are all enjoying a much-needed vacation at home. The kids have been coloring, playing outside, listening to audiobooks, playing with friends, roller blading, and catching up on projects from all the monthly subscriptions we get from Inspire. We’ve gotten way behind on trying all the new recipes […]
The kids decided this morning that I needed breakfast in bed. Made my tea and oatmeal all by themselves and brought it upstairs with no spills!
