March is full of all the celebrations, including Shiloh's birthday and trip, Danielle's birthday, and Ezra's birthday. The spring celebrations continued after our mother daughter retreat, as we enjoyed dinner and birthday party fun for Shiloh and Danielle.
Ice cream cookies and karaoke to close off the night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There have been oh so many doctor appointments for all of us it seems!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Music night at the cafe is always a hit, and having our baristas perform with the "Love band" made it the best one yet!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you have a creative sister who is always busy making something and you graciously volunteer, you never know what you are going to get!

Another weekend away with the women's retreat at church. I admit with all that is going on right now I am so weepy, so there was a lot of that. And a lot of crazy wind and SNOW!!!! So thankful that one of my besties could come and we braved for a photo outside!
Honestly, at the time I was so so raw from many of the hardships that seem to keep coming, so there was a lot of tears over the weekend. Because it was so cold, there was not really any place to be alone, especially outside where I crave (to cold for this Florida born girl), but I did find some quiet time at the end of the hallway to pray and just be with the Lord.
Then a little facetime with my loves to fill my heart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I love a good sunset and sometimes catch one out the front door when finishing up the night!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zoe had one of her bestie visit all the way from Virginia, and Zoe was happy to get to spend some time with her. I don't' think there could be any more cuteness in a photo.
The next day she was able to come over and this was the only photo they would give me.
But caught a candid shot.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zoe has really been into being a contortionist lately.
And loves it! I just hope she is not doing bodily harm through it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Soccer season has started back up and this time Ezra and Zoe are both playing! Opening day they announce the teams through the tunnel.
The temas are very different to watch in their skill sets.
Shiloh finds other things to do, like pick flowers to bring me.
First game kicked off with ice cream afterwards.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yoga nights at the cafe are some of my favorites!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Somehow my girls ended up doing an online casting type audition....while they did get call backs, we didn't go through with them but did take these "headshots".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We celebrated Ezra and Zoe's family birthdays together this year with a cookout...
and cake!
Much love!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ezra attended a friends' laser tag birthday party one afternoon that was so fun!
It was an intense over two hours of many different games!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We were so excited that field trips were back!! (Zoe may not have been as excited for me to chaparon, but I was all on it.)
I didn't bother her on the bus ride up to the Whitewater Center in NC, but they did send me these pictures.
Zoe was excited to be able to pick her group and I enjoyed getting to know some of her friends.
They learned all about the pulley system and even made up their own.
Then the big fun started where they got to choose from a free drop or zipline. I am always proud of Zoe's confidence, as it far surpasses mine.
Zoe wanted to do the zip line and climbed up a large pole to do so.
Then she tried out an obstacle ropes course, accidently going the harder way, which was a bit scary.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zoe has been asking for a few months to get her haircut, and it was great timing that her appointment was right before her birthday.
Getting to grow into such a beautiful young lady and looking fresh for the next day!
That's a wrap....now getting ready for a busy April as well!
