This year we are a little behind in the leafing and blooming process. This tree still amazes me though. My MIL helped me identify it as a type of magnolia tree.

Day 120
Last year I posted some pics of a tree we have in our backyard. At the time I didn't know what kind it is. Here is a link to that post. Ironically I did that post on April 29th last year.

Day 119
Extremely bad weather has been forecasted for our area tonight through tomorrow so all sports were cancelled for tonight.
I attempted to read a little this afternoon. Too bad I didn't even get past one page before needing to do another chore.
I do love my Lilly Nook cover though.

Day 114
text copied from my Facebook post just minutes ago...
Tonight B has a late baseball game (hopeful that it starts by 7:30). It is his 4th in a row, but it is his passion. I am so sad to miss it. I absolutely adore watching him play right now. Four baseball games during the school week is an awful lot to ask of the littles though. So tonight we are having some chill time and cheering from home

Day 113
For Wednesday night...
Back at the baseball field (every night but Friday this week).
Here is B getting ready to bat. He always does a "triple tap" on home plate before bringing the bat to his shoulder! :)

Day 112
Wow...back to my regular schedule which is pretty amazing since it is 10pm and we are just now getting home from Emma's soccer game and Brendan's baseball game. Jackson also had a game tonight, but he is at Camp Hanes with his class so actually we had a lighter load tonight than we originally thought!
Here is a photo that I snapped today with my new 85mm lens. Our azaleas are coming in nicely now.

Day 111
For Monday, April 21st...
Today is the 6 year anniversary of my dad passing. In some ways, it seems like yesterday. Thankfully in other ways, the pain from missing him is not quite so fresh.

Still miss him everyday!
Day 110
For Easter Sunday, April 20th...
I was so bad this year. I didn't take any photos of the kids on Easter. We were missing Jackson; he was still at the beach with MiMi, and I just didn't have the strength to get my camera out. I was still on west coast time.
Here is a shot I posted on Instagram of our blooming dogwood tree. It is beautiful right now, and I love the story of the dogwood tree and the cross.

Day 109
For Saturday, April 19th
Today we traveled home. It was very tiring. We basically collapsed when we got home. This is a picture I snapped of the suite we were in just before we left.

Day 101
Friday finally…mostly sunny and highs in the upper 70s. I will take this weather any day!!!
This morning started with JC taking Jackson to All Pro Dads at school! This occurs once a month, and Jackson only has one or two more EVER!
AT 9:45, Dr. JC and I went to Emma's school for career day. JC dressed up as himself while I got to dress up as Tuffy the Tooth!

After entertaining the kids, JC and I went to shop for the Easter Bunny and had lunch. We ended the afternoon with a trip to Lowes to by annuals for my pots.
When Emma got home, I took her to get a pedicure. She is now hooked and pouted the whole way home that we didn't also get manicures!

Tonight Jackson had a game in Greensboro. On the way, Emma was finishing up her very FIRST CHAPTER BOOK, but apparently she was fearful that we were all contagious in the car.
And here is a DSLR photo…

Day 100
WooHoo!!! Day 100 of 2014! I must admit that the first 100 days have not been my favorite weather wise. Very much looking forward to warmer weather!
Since it is Thursday and Brendan has yet another baseball game tonight, I decided to do a throwback! This was taken on our last spring break trip to Florida (2013). I am really missing warm, sunny Florida this week!!!

Today Emma's school had Autism Awareness Day so each student was encouraged to wear blue…
And just because I have been so busy and not posting any pictures taken with my DSLR, here is one of my favorites of Brendan doing the Spartan race.
Tonight Brendan had a middle school baseball game. He played very well and got a nice hit off of this swing…

We drove home today. Literally that's all we did. 775 miles. 11.5 hours
Morning sunshine
We had originally planned to stay the night in Savannah, but about 2 hours in decided just to keep going!
JC and I took turns driving. He definitely drove the most though.
Here is the Jacksonville skyline...
We passed this old truck. I love it.
We got home about 9:45 last night and collapsed. What a great trip! I wish I was still in Florida!
