Birthdays at Bowstring


It had been several months since we'd been up to see Grandma and Grandpa Gordon at the lake, so this past weekend we loaded up the dogs in the family Truckster and headed up to Bowstring. Sarah and Grandpa played on the "zipliner," as Sarah calls it.



Grandpa kept Caleb busy in the woodshop. Caleb built his own birdhouse!



Look at that concentration!



Rich got re-acquainted with Ozzie.


Lucas didn't want his picture taken, so Grandma helped get this shot.
Sarah LOVES balloons, and she got to play with three of them all weekend. We celebrated her birthday and Grandpa's (both March 18) and Rich's (March 27).


The birthday bunch.



Cheeeeese!



Just before we dived into a yummy chocolate cake.


Here's what Caleb looked like after rubbing balloons on his head and sticking them on the kitchen ceiling.
Sarah couldn't wait to see her grandma and grandpa this time. "HOW many more days, daddy?"


Watchin' TV ... Sarah is staying with grandma and grandpa this week during spring break!


"Harley, sit still!"


Had to put these on here ... a couple of weeks ago Sarah went out to draw chalk pictures on our driveway.


And showed a little more than she bargained for...

Happy birthday, Sarah!

Hard to believe it, but Sarah is FOUR years old today! (Already?!) She's been raking in presents from her grandmas and grandpas, and her great-grandma Myrtle (who just turned 90!). Here she is holding a cool "balloon basket" card sent to her by her great-aunt Florence. Thanks, Flo!


Sarah loves her balloon card! We're going to celebrate her birthday (and daddy's and Grandpa Gordon's) in style at the Bowstring Cabin on March 27th.


Sarah's preschool had a pajama party one day last week. All the kids got to wear their PJs to school! Doubt they got any sleep, though...

Spring is coming!

Temperatures in the mid-40s on Saturday meant we just had to get outside and enjoy the sun! Sarah got out her bike and wanted to ride it, but dad first had to raise her seatpost about two inches. She's grown so much over the winter!


Sarah rode around our cul-de-sac with her friend Lissy and a couple of other girls in our neighborhood. Daddy had to keep telling her to lift her head and watch where she was going ... she liked to watch her feet working the pedals!


Wheee!


Lissy helps Sarah take off her helmet, which she doesn't like to wear. But we MAKE her!


"Hello, everybody!"
After a busy day outside, Sarah crashed in her room with the new pillowcase Grandma Gordon made her.


Sarah is now sleeping in her own bed all by herself at night! Yay! This means more room for mommy and daddy in their bed at night.
