Grandma T's Visit

We enjoyed a very special visit from Grandma Thomason a few weeks ago.  The kids had a lot of fun with her, especially reading with her and putting puzzles together.  We got to do some fun things outside the house too like going to see Mary Poppins, Great Falls, the St Patrick's parade, eating lunch with Katie at school, going to music class with Peter, and waiting for it to snow (and waiting... and waiting....).  She also got to see my Friday night hockey team win the championship!

Grandma T was a big help around the house too and made some yummy dinners.  The kids were very sad to see her go and cried when she boarded the train.  We hope to see her again soon!


The pizza at Rocco's gets a thumbs up from the ladies...


...and from Peter too.

They each make a good point.

The champs!  (real smart to stand next to the 2 tallest guys on the team).  That's the Caps training facility and office behind us.  No word yet on if any of their scouts saw us play.
