We always have such a blast with our friends, the Smiths, and we have absolutely loved getting to know their neighbors as well. This is such a sweet family, and they are going to be missed as a job change is making them leave Atlanta.
Eliza is such a sweetheart.
Happy 1st birthday to our nephew Liam! Ryan and the girls went over to celebrate this milestone. Unfortunately, it was a Saturday near the end of March so I had to stay behind and work.
Liz was excited to have all her grandkids around!
This was a precious treat to find when I came home late one evening. Sweet girl.
We were so proud that Mia made it into the school-wide poetry bee, and Lily made her this encouraging sign on our whiteboard. She recited "The Crocodile's Toothache" by Shel Silverstein. Even though she didn't win, she did a great job and represented 2nd grade well!
Lily loves having Decker around.
Ryan was beyond excited to get tickets to the first regular season Braves game at the new SunTrust Park. He and Brian got great tickets, went down early to explore the park and the Battery, and to take it all in.
Lily and her friends, Elizabeth and Emory, participated in the school's Science Fair last week. They showed different leaf skeletons, had kids color and trace the leaf skeletons, asked trivia questions, and handed out stickers. They loved their matching shirts that Mrs. McKeeby made, and they had a lot of fun!
Mia started playing Upward Softball this season, and she's loving it. She's on the Lady Mets team. In the last game, she was awarded the defensive team member star for outstanding work in the field.
She's gotten a few hits too and some RBIs. She's a natural little athlete, so it's fun to watch her play.
After one game, it was a lovely evening, so the girls and Decker had fun playing in our yard sprinklers. Fun times!
On the first Sunday of Spring Break, I took the girls down to the Marriott Marquis for some girl time. We had a blast! We swam for a couple of hours, ordered room service, and watched a movie. I may have them let them jump between the beds in order to perform an acrobat show, and then they runway walk down the hallway to get the energy out before bed. I love spending time with these precious girls who are growing up way faster than I want them to!
This Spring has treated us well!
