I'll share a few highlights of the weekend with you.
My Thursday plans with Cuties A and B were cancelled, because Cutie A got sick. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise, though, because Thursday my sinus infection was in full force. Thursday and Friday I just spent time relaxing and recuperating and was able to start reading The Help. I love it so far and am already on page 259! Hopefully I'll be able to finish it soon despite all my upcoming projects, papers, and tests.
Saturday, Cutie A and I were both feeling much better and I got in some much needed time with Cuties A and B. Cutie A has started playing lacrosse and her practice is right around the corner from my house. I got to watch her practice and scrimmage!
Ignore my crazy hair, it was quite windy!
Cutie A then went with me on some errands. That night the "Cutie" family invited me to go to a Flying Squirrels game. The Flying Squirrels is a minor-league baseball team that just came to Richmond last summer. The wind cleared up, the sun came out, and it was the perfect night for a baseball game. We started with dinner at Kitchen 64 and then headed to the ball game!
Our seats were right behind 3rd base!
We were happy after lots of peanuts and funnel cakes!
It was an exciting and close game. The Squirrels were up against the Altoona Curve and had to play 11 innings! Ultimately, the Squirrels won 3-2!
Sunday morning, I woke up to a lovely Easter basket. My basket is really special to me because it was made for me when I was just a baby by a loved one who I liked to call "Tricky Nikki" when I was younger.

We had brunch as a family at Strawberry Street Cafe. It was a particularly emotional Easter for our family, because today would be my grandfather's 88th birthday. He passed away about two and a half years ago and was one of the kindest, most incredible men. Above all, he had the greatest faith in God. He never missed mass and always said our blessings at meals. It was definitely hard not having him there for both Easter and what would have been his birthday, but we managed to keep the day upbeat and fun!
Strawberry Street Cafe is known for their bathtub brunch bar.
the tub!
My dad and I have always had a tradition of ordering French toast to share. We both order whatever we're having for brunch, and then add a separate order of French toast to split. Yesterday was no different!
All of the plates had a strawberry on them!
Sadly, we didn't take as many family pictures as I would have hoped, but here are my favorite two from the day!
With my Grandmas!
Mommy, Allie, Daddy
How was your Easter weekend?
