Warm weather felt like a distant dream the last time I wrote. Always comes as a pleasant surprise when the days get longer and brighter. Ethan is having a fabulous season. He has been pitching and playing third base. They have only lost one game. They're the team to beat! Fiona is thoroughly enjoying javelin and trying her hand at shot put. She has also been running in the 4x400 relay (much to her chagrin). I have no pictures of her in action (yet) because she forbade me going to a meet until she knew what she was doing. I will go this Friday and hopefully get some decent footage!
Easter was a stunner. The weather, food and family-time was the perfect segway into the spring season. The cousins STILL enjoy the egg hunt...and gampy added some cash into the mix for some extra competitiveness.
My garden came to life with a little sun and rain. All the tulips I planted back in the yucky, wet, cold end of Fall came up and were such a source of joy! We are now watching and waiting patiently as our 27 (literally) tomato plants gain strength. I also planted herbs, peppers, broccoli, basil (to go with the one million tomatoes), peas and swiss chard.
Mother's Day was a winner. My family packed a picnic and we headed into the woods for a hike. The day was delightful. I felt spoiled and appreciated.
The next entry will likely be about the end of the school year!!!
