March was full of special visitors! We were very grateful to host three church leaders from England. We remain blessed by the connections with friends and churches from our years of living in England, and time with these three chaps was special encouragement for our family.
She always finds the sun!
Bridgette's reading has taken off! About a month ago, it finally clicked for her! Now she is often found with a book in her hand, and comes down most mornings declaring that she has finished another chapter book. I love getting a front row seat to this explosion of learning!
A typical morning scene in the Payne School of Excellence =)
The kids and some friends took ice skating lessons! Six weeks of lessons and all three are much more confident on the ice
Bridgette's first season of basketball wrapped up in March. She had a fantastic coach, and was given the "Accurate Shot" award because, although she didn't shoot all the time, her shots went in the basket more often than they didn't! She had a great time and is already talking about wanting to play again next year.
More basketball with neighbor friends - the view from my bedroom window!
He loves to set up awesome dunking shots - It won't be long before he'll actually be able to dunk!
More special visitors this month included Kaye K and Big Daddy! Mom and I made time for a brunch date, just the two of us.
Fun at the park after ice skating lessons
Kaye K is always up for a lego sorting and building project
Some silly exercise on a sunny Saturday morning walk
Kaye K and her green thumb set to work in one of our garden beds. She let the girls help her plant pansies, which are a beautiful addition to our blooming spring yard.
Dinner with the whole family, including Aunt Vallerie and Uncle Steve
Big Daddy and Kaye K left the day before Bridgette's birthday, so we celebrated early with a couple gifts, which included her beloved flippy shirt! =)
