Mid March Happenings

 Greta and I have an annual tradition of enjoying high tea together at The Mad Hatter Restaurant & Tea House to celebrate both of our birthdays in November. They were not able to offer dining inside due to COVID last November, so we continued our tradition today! I love time with my sweet girl. 

This was sweet. Greta really wanted Asa to dress up and pretend to be her prince. He really did not want to, but he wanted to make her happy. He is a good big brother, she was so happy.

It felt so good to go on a long walk with my sweet middle born on this early spring day! Asa is a joy to be around! He is always ready to snuggle with me and give me a hug. Love him.

Our new 4 season porch is almost finished! We are excited to make it our new living room with huge windows to view our backyard woods. Our old living room will now be our dining room. We are excited to have more space!

Our Amazing Family Vacation to Naples Florida

Brian had a wedding scheduled in Naples, Florida for the beginning of March, so we turned it into a fun family vacation! We rented a beautiful private house with a pool and we were able to stay for 17 days! We love homeschooling, we can travel with Brian and bring school with us. 

Brian's wedding went great and we enjoyed many beach days as a family. We went to Tigertail beach at Marco Island, Delanor-Wiggins State Park Beach, Lover's Key State Park Beach, Barefoot Beach, and Clam Pass Park Beach. We also were able to meet up with some good friends while we were down there! We met up with my friend Laura Wegener from sport co-op and her family. Later on in the trip we met up with our friends from church, Carl and Jenna Sandmann and their two boys. 

We spent a day out on a fishing charter with Captain Charlie again. We caught a bunch of red fish, snook, and sheephead. We enjoyed some for dinner. The kids enjoyed catching lizards at our house and ghost crabs at the beach. We made many beautiful memories, swam in the Gulf of Mexico, and enjoyed the plentiful sunshine!
