Grandma & Granddaddy came for a visit after about 18months of being apart! We all had looked forward to their visit for weeks in advance.
On Saturday morning, we took them to Natirar for a walk.
Colleen showing off her reading skills to Granddaddy.
We played so many games!
A little baseball practice
Austin's baseball game was canceled; we had our picnic on the living room floor while watching the first half of The Rookie.
For our last day of CC Essentials class, the tutors set up a giant Chart A with all the grammar they had learned this year and associated ice cream sundae toppings. The kids were very excited to celebrate.
Because I wasn't sure what to expect at the actual CC Graduation, I recorded the kids' practices.
Colleen's performances:
Austin's group, the "Middles"
Amelia's group, still figuring out what they're doing
So tired that she fell asleep while reading.
Austin's fan club at the rescheduled baseball game.

Snuggles with Granddaddy
We took Grandma & Granddaddy to our favorite Duke Farms for a walk.
Granddaddy figured out how to operate the new-to-us telescope & explained it to us. We are excited to use it!
Early dinner outside
Fun at the CC Graduation party & the kids' end-of-the-year presentations
Amelia giving her speech on Clara Barton
Mother's Day walk at Colonial Gardens - We had fun watching kayakers setting off on their tour. We also picked up a cache.
I took advantage of Grandma & Granddaddy's visit to go watch Austin at karate.
What a heart-filling time we had with our family. We are so grateful for the hours spent being together & don't take them for granted. The kids talked about them for days, wishing we could all be together again soon. Patrick & I thoroughly enjoyed our 2 dates; the first ones since the pandemic started.
