Easter, Mother's Day and Baseball is Back!!!!!!

Whoa.  What happened?????  Time warp.  So much has been going on behind the scenes that the last thing I was thinking about was updating the blog.   But here I am.  I have a spare hour.  Easter was ideal.  The weather was just right, and we were all healthy.  The traditional chaotic hunt took place in my parents front yard.  Kids were just that much bigger.  

After much hemming and hawing Ethan's baseball season got underway.  He is on two teams.  The Falmouth middle school team, and the Little League Seniors team.  Both coaches have sons on the others team, so they never overlap practices.  Very convenient.  They have worked hard to get games together with other towns.  It will be a short season for middle school (another side effect of Covid).  Many towns are still not competing with other towns.  Falmouth is having to play many repeats with the few towns that are willing to travel.  We'll take it!  

Both kids are officially registered at Falmouth High School for the fall.  We decided to pull Fiona from her charter due to the fact that they NEVER got the kids into the building, not ONE in person learning day...and they are not able to guarantee that they will by the fall.  These kids NEED to actually GO to school next year.  I NEED them to both GO.  It's time.

Mother's day was lovely.  Nice weather, sweet kids and husband, other people cleaning and doing laundry, other people cooking meals.  Just great.  Ethan had his first game that afternoon.  Of course that is when the temperature dropped about 20 degrees.  It was windy and freezing...but STILL worth it.  I had not watched him play in a game for nearly 2 years.

We are now beginning to look ahead to the summer.  Camping, family parties, Gammy/Gampy Camp...relaxing!  I can't wait.

Found this little note from Fiona.  She wrote it when she was 8.  Seems like it could have been written yesterday...

Sweet Easter babies.

On your mark!  Get set!



GOOOO!  The hunt is on!

Little shoving between Ellie and Ethan.


Relaxing on the hill.


Cathy and Cate stayed for a long weekend last month.  What a treat.




Cathy got Ethan the PERFECT puzzle.

Spring!

Lunch break will look a lot different next year :(


Fiona sculpted these adorable mushroom earring for me for Mother's day.  She packaged them so cleverly.

That's Ethan on the mound!
