Family time means everything to us, and March brought lots of opportunities for it. I've been proud of us because we've been being a lot better about visiting Great Grandma Hirschi. She turns 93 this year and is doing fairly well, but lost a lot of weight from getting the flu and also had a brief hospital stay and so we want to take every opportunity to spend time with her.
Smelling Grandma's tulips.
Her cane is the coolest!
She's so tender with my kids and never gets frazzled with their craziness.
Over spring break we had a little stay-cation and went out and did some fun things. The weather was very cool, which I always adore. We went to Nielsen's Frozen Custard and got Grandma some lemon custard and went and visited her.
Later in the month, Vicki and her family came to visit. Jenny and Callie also came down. Even though my family sometimes feels awkward with the cultural differences between her family and ours, it's gotten to the point where I feel very comfortable talking to her and asking questions about Judaism. In the end, we certainly have much more in common than we have differences.
We attempted a Kosher BBQ on the red hill, which--let's be honest--was a disaster because it was FREEZING, but we still made the best of it. It was fun to see my kids play with their second cousins from St. Louis.
A cold spring break swim. Hudsie loved it.
And, of course, when Auntie's in town it often means some fun dates for Emme. One day, she came home with this Sophie doll just because. Oh dear...
