Here’s some of what we were up to in March:

We started making dog food for Phoebe. We call it meatloaf or casserole. She loves it and her coat is getting much softer!

Look who came home for a visit!

The school librarian, Ms. Daniels (who was Layla’s 3rd grade teacher last year and the art teacher before that) created this Chihuly-inspired chandelier for the library! It’s made of painted plastic water bottles and looks gorgeous in the school!

Papa turned 82 this year! I went to Pullman to celebrate the weekend following, but here are a few pics Scott posted from the actual day

It’s always good to have this boy back at home!
