update

We're in SC now visiting my parents. (using Nana's high speed.. it's a wonderful thing!!!) The weather was nice enough to go out and build a sand castle the other day and today was really warm.. Eric got his annual sunburn. (with sunblock, every year without fail he gets one..! ) despite the burn, we are all having a good time. The only thing that has disappointed me is that my camera fell out of it's case and into the sand (on the first day of our arrival, not long after this picture was taken..) and now it does not work.. :( So I must use one of those throw away cameras to capture our memories!! How can I go on without my camera?!! We may be taking a trip to Best Buy before our visit is over...
Last week was very busy. One thing Sarah had was a class musical called "Rats!" (along with poetry night too!)Here she is with two other "townspeople"! There are a couple more pictures on Sarah's webpage to see. www.asilearnasigrow.blogspot.com

She's the third from the right. I took some pictures of the rats too, but they turned out so dark they didn't look right when I lightened them up..
All of the kids looked so cute and did a great job. Six weeks of hard work went into the production and it really showed!!!





Christian had a nice laid-back concert last Thursday night. He's the second from the left. They sounded great!

enjoying outdoor time!

Getting ready for baseball season!
Sally fetches the baseballs and brings them back too.. thank goodness because that used to be my job! Thanks Sal! :)

Friends





Daddy and Mommy even got a chance to ride this week and this weekend too....even though my back was hurting some this past week.. I think it's from lifting pre-schoolers! (my choice!).. it took some effort to get in that saddle! Kit has gotten loads of attention lately and he's loving it. Sally also got sprayed by a skunk on Thursday night (at close range!) so that didn't help my back either. Eric and I had to clean the floors, kitchen cabinets, furniture etc to try and get rid of the smell. It got through the whole downstairs just from having her in here! What a mess! Sally is getting lots of baths with peroxide, bakingsoda and soap. (tomato sauce must be an old wives tale as that didn't work at all!)








We dyed eggs tonight to get ready for the bunny.. pretty color choices Sarah!







Nice Christian. I wonder where that one will end up tomorrow morning?

Snowdrops

I thought I'd snap a couple of shots of our snowdrops before they go away! They have been in bloom for at least three weeks and it won't be long before they ARE gone. Daffodils are next! :)
