Brave Visitors

 Dad, Mom, Heather, and the kids braved the remaining snow to come visit us at the end of last week. They arrived Thursday evening.

 Joshua had to teach Friday morning, and Evan went with him to sit in on the classes. The rest of us had pancakes for breakfast and a relaxing morning with a trip to the woodworking store.

 After Joshua and Evan returned, we had lunch at the Mongolian Grill and went to the Smith Family Bookstore, both Oregon traditions according to the kids.

 Mary enjoyed all the extra snuggles and attention.

She got to play a little poker with Dad and the big kids.

 Apparently, she needs to work on her poker face.

 Everyone had turns helping in the kitchen. Saturday morning, Micah and I made quiche for breakfast.

 We made a quick Costco run.

The snowman we built got repaired and received new facial features.

 Saturday evening we had a triple birthday celebration for Mom, Evan, and me. 

Everyone left early Sunday morning. It was a short, but sweet visit. The snow continued to melt, and our first flower of spring bloomed that later day.
