March 2012 - Happy St. Pat's and other big news


Grandma and Grandpa were coming over for dinner, and Grace got to choose and make dessert. She chose to make Celebration pie, and it came out just like the picture on the cover of the recipe book. It tasted as good as it looked.



Here is Ingrid enjoying a piece - even several weeks later she still says it was delicious.




During March this year there was about two weeks of June-like weather. One of the first of the really nice days, the girls went outside to do their homework. Grace chose to climb up in a tree to do hers.



Ingrid just threw a blanket in the middle of the front yard to do hers. The more important thing to get out of this picture is that she is writing with a pencil she has that says 'Emma Willard', the bag she used to carry her books out there says the same, as do the side of the sunglasses she's wearing. Not only did she get in, but she got a huge scholarship. We're thrilled, and she is very excited about it.


Then it was St. Patrick's day. Another fantastic day. We parked way over on the west side of the park and walked to the parade, then afterwards we went over to the El Loco for a drink and snack. Gretchen is hoisting a toast to St. Patrick, and the girls are enjoying a snack.
