We celebrated my dad's birthday with pizza and pie! My dad is a devoted grandfather and we all love him so much!

My parents have so much honey this year! We lucked out and were able to spend a day extracting honey from some of the frames while we were in town. Each of my girls really loved observing and learning about the process. And the smell! Yum, honey smells so good! I've wanted to participate in this process for a while so it was just great. Bonus, we brought home honey.

If you can believe it, we brought home a puppy! I can't really believe it still. But here we are, a family with a dog. He's a sheepadoodle (Old English Sheepdog + Poodle) and he's really sweet. He's little now, only 10 pounds, but will be about 60 pounds when he's full grown (oh my gosh, what did we do!?). Here are some pictures of the family picking him up and bringing him home.

We had lots of fun cheering on the middle school marching bands at the jr Lilac Parade. The littles ate SO much candy. This was our first time watching this parade and it was great!

Easter 2023 brought us a very full table of family and dear friends. Honestly, having lots of people I love in my home makes my heart fill to bursting! This is what dreams are made of.
