It March(ed) by...

Well folks, here we are again at another post-month round-up of pictures! March is gone and (what do you know?) so is April... so I'll try to hurry my (non-existent) compiling skills to catch up to the present. Hope everyone is having a lovely May day!

Puzzle time with Junebug and Margarete

Boy does she love her school!

Lots of posts on their way! 

Girls' Day In

We had been meaning to have the H. ladies over for a girl's day ever since their new little one joined their family... and finally we made it happen! Since our first plan was to have a Valentine's Day theme, and it didn't work around that time, we still kept the idea and had a March heart-themed party!

Johanna swept for our company while Bella Bean 

kept watch to make sure she did it right.

Hard at work!

Can't believe what a beautiful young lady she is!

They're here and sweet Benji is passed around to all the Grandmas

Then Mom had this fantastic idea to make a curl on the top of his sweet fluffy head...

...using olive oil?

As you can see, the curl never formed and a wild spike was the result!

The girls had a ball in the "kitchen"

"Can I have a refill of blueberry soup please?"

The Grandmas were quite amused :)

The three silly girlies

We had such a nice time talking with Mrs. H. and Benji dear :)

Time to eat!

Leah, Johanna and Sammy-Jo

Being silly

"I heart you!"

Vanessa, the wonderful chef, and Benji, the oil head kid

Nap time

Yummy sugar cookies

Happy gals!

Thanks H. ladies so much for driving all the way up here for a lovely Girls' Day In!

Afternoon Tea Party

We had a lovely tea party with one of our favorite P.Ts, Raquel a few weeks past. I'm sure you've seen her in previous posts with Johanna hugging her and Bella Bean smooshed right in the middle :). We love her so much and decided we needed to have a ladies get-together before she stopped coming to see the Grandmas.

Vanessa set up a beautiful luncheon arrangement

Tea is served!

Our gorgeous Grandmas, all decked out...

We had quite the fun conversations :)

That's it! Thanks for joining us for our afternoon tea party!

Flowers and Chocolates and Lasagna, Oh My!

Happy Belated Valentine's Day! Like always, our day was filled with chocolate goodies and beautiful flowers (which I can't wait to dry!). Hope yours was as "sweet" as ours was.

Beautiful rose and tulip bouquet from Mrs. Patty!

Mrs. Linda stopped by to spread some love

Vanessa made a special light lunch

Since Dad had to go to school on Valentine's Day, he sent us flowers through the mail...

Mom's lovely bouquet with a note...

And these beautiful ones he sent for us girls...

♫ ...my heart belongs to Daddy

Cause my Daddy, he treats me so well  ♫

The evening before Valentine's, Dad took us girls and a family friend to a fancy restaurant for dinner...

Getting ready

Vanessa had fun doing the girls' hair
