The Quad is in Bloom!

We spent the morning on the Quad at UW this morning. Today couldn't have been more perfect. 100% bloom, very few fallen petals, perfect weather, and the students are out on Spring Break. Hooray! Plus we got to meet up with some fellow Husky fans who have a little one only a few months older than Lily.

Bonus shot! We took this yesterday after a walk along the river at Lowell Riverside Park. Old school merry-go-round!

Fun at the Arboretum

We braved a tiny break in the rain last Saturday to meet our friend in the Arboretum!

 These two cuties loved the playground!

 We can't stop taking pictures of our kids on these benches. We were in the arboretum almost one year ago exactly with Kristina! And remember these shots that Dawn took for us when Kenley was 1?

 We were so excited to see cherry blossoms! Spring will come eventually! We can't wait for the quad to bloom at UW.

 We got some from fun family shots!

Lily really liked going up and down these stairs...

 ...and in and out of these doors.

It's warm inside!

Happy Birthday Grandma Dorothy!

This lovely lady turned 85 this week!

 We met the Portland crew halfway-ish for a lovely birthday brunch to celebrate Grandma. Theresa found this awesome restaurant with a stunning view...who knew Tacoma could be so beautiful?

 Grandma loved the book that Lucy put together with everyone's pictures and stories.

 After brunch, we headed to Pt. Defiance Park to take advantage of some actual SUN! There was so much to do there, we really need to go back. We hit up the beach!

 Another one of Lily's "greats" turned 85 this week...Great-Grandpa Friesen! Nan and Ron were able to be there to celebrate with them, but we will have to make do with this picture from last summer and a phone call. Happy Birthday Grandpa Friesen!
