Spring Break (ATL)


Happy Palm Sunday, friends!  As we enter Holy Week, the Berry crew is enjoying the last day of spring break before the home stretch of the school year.  We took a few days to travel south at the beginning of the week to visit family and do some fun things along the way!  First stop:  Atlanta, home of Evelyn's Aunt Mac and Uncle Eddie....

We had a brief layover in Sewanee on the way, where we pulled over for a snack and a stroll:)

Once we arrived in the ATL, we had a wonderful long weekend with Mac and Eddie, exploring playgrounds and fun places to eat, strolling outside, dancing and cooking and playing in Mac and Eddie's apartment, and even watching some SEC tournament games:






We also had a fun visit with Evelyn's great-aunts Rosemary and Pauline, who admired the drawing Evelyn had made for them and treated Evelyn to a fun St. Patrick's/Easter bag of snacks and books and such:



We loved our time in Atlanta!  So good to visit with all of our family there:)  More on our spring break travels coming soon!

In Like a Lion

March is upon us, folks, and has indeed arrived like a lion, chalking up some torrential rains, a day of snow flurries, and warm sunshine-y afternoons in its first week.  Meanwhile, Ev has been a whirlwind of activity herself...

...dressing up for dance parties daily...

...cheering Ensworth on to victory in the state championships...

...cooking (and eating)...

...celebrating her friend Halley's birthday...

...playing with her Playmobil (note her very precise alignments)...

...creating beautiful art (this one with assistance from one of Dave's students)...

...chasing cats (the ones belonging to her godmother Anna)...

...and playing with Baby Ellen:)

While describing Baby Ellen to Dave earlier this week, Evelyn said, "She is a little smaller than me.  And cries."  We didn't bother pointing out to our girl that she herself cries upon occasion, and not just when she is hungry or sleepy:)  Anyways, friends, enjoy the weekend!  Hooray for more daylight coming our way soon!
