#5 for Kay Kay
We just had a fun visit from my mom, Kay Kay, and she got to meet her FIFTH grandkid... crazy!! She came in true grandma fashion, bearing lots of gifts. Piper's closet is now well-stocked in pink girly clothes, Justus has lots of new books and was introduced to "The Backyardigans", Trav got a desperately needed refill on his dill pickle sunflower seeds, and I got some fun new clothes too!
Since it rained the entire first half of her trip, most of our time was spent watching movies and getting snuggly on the couch.
Once we saw the sun come out, we had to get outside even if it was still chilly! We went for a long walk on Lade Braes, a path that runs all along St. Andrews. Of course we made sure to bring some bread so Justus could feed the ducks.
Most of the sight-seeing we did included staring at Piper in all her cuteness and watching Justus run around like a madman, but we did manage to get out a few times. Here are a few pics from our trip to Falkland Palace...
Trav found this huge stick, which Justus carried around for most of the time there, endangering the knee-caps of anyone within 5 feet of him!
2 of Justus's favorite things: his Kay Kay and ice cream with sprinkles!
At Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh, the royal residence of the Queen when she visits. My mom said she could be happy living here :)
Getting some sweet smiles from Piper on her last night here. I just dropped her off this morning and I miss her already :( Thanks for coming, Kay Kay - we love you!!

Spring... finally!
Snowdrops are blooming...the sun is shining (sometimes)...and it is just a little bit warmer outside...I am hopeful that Spring is finally here!
Warmer weather/sunshine = playing outside = very happy boy!!
We had a few friends over for a BBQ about a week ago. It was fun to watch the kids all playing in the backyard and see Trav on the grill again.
We went to the park one afternoon in the nearby town of Cupar (pronounced "cooper" or as Justus calls it "Mini Cooper"). Trav and our friend Steve kicked around the soccer ball, Justus played on the playground/ran around the grass/kicked the soccer ball/picked up big sticks to throw over the bridge/etc., and Piper and I enjoyed the sunshine.
Well, this is mainly what Piper did the entire time...relaxed :)
Enjoying a nice lunch outside in the warm sun :)
Justus doing what he does best - hitting his golf balls!
Piper and I in our 'spring attire' - ha ha! I never said it was "warm" - only "warmer" :)
