March was a busy month around here! For starters, Gavin turned 7 on March 12! We had so much fun celebrating our birthday boy. Also, we had a festive St. Patrick's Day, joining in the downtown parade with Cassidy's Irish Dance troupe. Thereafter, Gavin wrapped up his basketball season and Cassidy was part of the school play, Seussical, which was a musical celebration of the works of Dr. Seuss. We wrapped up the month of March with a lovely Easter spent with family. As always we are so grateful for our blessings. We are enjoying life with our kids who bring us so much joy. Here are some photos of the month's events!
