just a few photos of what we have been up to lately…

i am going to miss my days with her when she goes to school all day in the fall…

when she was an infant and the little guy was only 2 i remember thinking, “how am i going to get through everyday with them?”  and that the day would never come when they would both be in school full time. now, i am wondering, “how am i going to get through everyday without them?” and how did it get here so fast?

he still loves coffee…especially when i drink it outside in my favorite spot in the backyard…

the clubhouse is still a big hit…in this photo she was the police commander and they had a crime to solve…

the mild weather has been perfect for evenings filled with baseball…

also, due to the mild weather, the garden is going crazy…the elusive artichoke…

my happy place…

rhodies in the front garden…

i lightened up the mood in the playroom with this white granny square afghan…a thrifted find from a couple years ago…i also rainbowtized all the books…

fridays are for lacrosse…

he’s so tired by the end of the week, but he really likes lacrosse…

i can totally picture him as a goalie…

our first fishing morning of the season…the pink pole caught the first and only fish…

the little guy is so helpful…it’s amazing how they can actually fish on their own now…

there was a huge bullfrog under the dock…

we also saw two bald eagles defending their nest across the river…

baby girl had her mind set on a lemonade stand, so we made it happen…

it was a successful day…friends from the neighborhood (and all the way across town) came to get some…

i call this the best seat in the backyard…and it’s mine…

trying to get out with the dogs…this was the first of two runs on monday morning…odyssey is the best running buddy…

and, here’s crazy, i mean, rainy! she has some manners to learn and will be heading to “summer camp” in idaho soon!

we’ve got some special visitors coming in a couple of days…stay tuned!!

home is…full of springtime fun!
