One of the things I love about where we live is the diversity in our neighborhood. The boys celebrated Holi with their friends in early March

This bird flew into our window (hard) and was stunned. We made him a safe place to recover until he could fly away.

Subbing at the high school library is fun and has a great view too!

Avery went to his spring formal this year with a group of friends. Here’s the gang:


 

Avery turned 15  this year. It’s hard to believe we have a child so old! At 15, Avery is such a fun kid. He’s a great student, a dedicated athlete, a super teammate and friend, and a wonderful son. He puts so much effort into everything he does, and we are so proud of him.

We celebrated with a birthday sleepover. We ordered pad thai and the boys stayed up late playing basketball, ping pong, foosball, and watching movies and playing video games.

Kieron had Seth over and they hung out away from the teenagers

Silas turned double digits this year! At ten, Silas is such a sweet, good-natured kid. He is positive, upbeat, easy going, and always up for trying something new. He has lots of friends and is just a joy to be around. We love you, Silas!

Boiled chocolate cake for his birthday

And sausage balls, of course!
 

We celebrated with a pool party at The Club. Boy, did we luck out. It was the sunniest, warmest March day I’ve ever seen!

Back at the house. Ethan, Lucas, Ethan, Sulaiman, Ronit, Silas, Nathan, Mason, Zachary & Justin
