Day 77

Sorting bathing suits…

Next Thursday night, we are leaving for our spring break trip to southern Florida.  Emma and I desperately needed to go through her bathing suit drawer to decide which suits still fit this year!

She found a few that she wanted to keep, but for the most part all of the old suits were too small this year!

Day 76

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Emma finished her homework for the entire week after school today!!!  She must have had the luck of the Irish on her side!

Day 75

Our Tulip Tree

Spring is trying to arrive, but sleet and freezing rain are in the forecast for the last couple of days left in winter.  We are all beyond ready for warm weather!

Day 74

my babies

Day 73

More signs of spring…

Spring is coming…6 days away!!!  Why oh why is there a wintry mix in the forecast for Monday?

Day 72

This morning a little before 7am, my aunt Bonnie Gray passed away from cancer.  She fought it so bravely for two years.  She will be missed greatly.  Sad day!

Bonnie Gray is in the pink dress.  This photo was taken at our wedding, May 2, 1998.

Day 71

Our first full bloom of the year!!!

Day 70

Tonight Jackson had soccer practice, Emma had her first soccer game and Brendan had his second middle school baseball game.  We were going in all different directions to say the least.  It was a beautiful day though so it was nice to be outside!

Here is Emma kicking the soccer ball.  She did fantastic controlling the ball and playing both offense and defense.  She had 5 or 6 goals!  The Russian Rocket lives on...

Day 69

Today was Brendan's first middle school baseball game.  He got to start as catcher.  His team lost to a better team.  Brendan is the youngest player on his team!  Wow…that field is HUGE compared to what he is used to... we are so proud of him!

Here he is at bat!

Day 68

Today was Brendan's first baseball game  of 2014. His travel ball team decided to play in a one day tournament today. B's first pitch, first at bat, he hits a solo home run!   Not a bad way to start a season!!!
