I had a super busy week at work. We released some new functionality that our company has been waiting on for quite a while. Our deployments went well, but it was a challenge to get them to where they needed to be, by this week. But, it's done, and everyone is very pleased with the outcome! As a bonus, because I had two late nights working, I was able to take most of Friday afternoon off. I used that time to clean the house (to free up my Saturday) and assemble a new pantry item that will help us organize all of our spices. It was a great afternoon! And apparently, this is what excitement looks like in the mid-40s. Ha!
The kids had a much more fun week. Ava was invited to a birthday sleepover on Friday night, so she rode the bus home with her friend (someone new she had met...they were roomies in DC) and had a blast! It's so neat to see her making more friends and get involved with different activities. She also passed her sports physical this week and is officially signed up for the 2022 RMS girls track season! We're excited to see how she does with it, since this is her first "organized" sports team. She knows she wants to do sprints, and definitely no long distance. She's clearly our daughter, as that's what we liked to run for track, as well. (I also did triple-jump, and Scott did pole vault and high jump, but she'll start off with focusing on running for now.)
We also received an invitation for the President's Award for Educational Excellence Ceremony in May for Ava! She's maintained a 3.5+ GPA average for her entire middle school career, so she's receiving this award. SO awesome!
G was invited to TWO overlapping birthday parties this weekend! But, the timing was such that he is only able to go one. He should have a blast, though...it's at a restaurant, and they are going to be making pizzas and decorating cupcakes. What fun!
Pria is really coming into her own - her personality is shining through. And apparently she's an early bird who wants her breakfast right when she wakes up. As soon as she hears me start to move around in the morning, she's immediately at my side of the bed, pawing up at me. I always tell her to go back to bed, lol. We don't want to train her to have breakfast at 5am...that's just too early on the weekends!
Hugging Gus while napping (ok, ok, I put Gus there, but she didn't push him away!)

Also, the weather has been weird. Several days this week, we've woken up to fresh snow on the ground, but it's been completely melted by the afternoon. I *think* that means that warmer weather is just around the corner. We are all ready for the warmer days ahead!
