Fun with Family: Springtime Edition

We had a lot of fun with Andrea, Caleb, Ashling, Cade and Quinn this past week/weekend.  They arrived Wednesday evening and left Saturday around lunchtime and we did a little bit of everything in between (I was able to take a couple of day off).  We played outside, visited friends, went shopping, grilled out, saw Cinderella (Ellen said "It's not every day you see an enchanting movie that inspires you." She also cried twice.), dyed eggs, had an Easter egg hunt, went swimming and more!

The kids really enjoyed being together and got along well for the most part.  Lilly did bite Quinn's finger but Andrea said it could have gone either way :)

The calendar is far from full (so far) but we have a lot going on this month.  March Madness continues (Go Duke!), Andrea and Caleb were just here for a visit, my Dad will be here for a few days at the end of the month, we are trying to refinance our house, I am in the process of gathering the necessary paperwork and signatures for a very complicated eye contact rebate (I hate rebates), we need to file our taxes and Phillip will be starting a new job very soon.

And there is yard work aplenty.

Happy Spring!
