Welcome Spring!



















Katherine, Ellie, Marianne, and Chelsea (Mike's sister) went on our first hike of the season . . . long overdue. The weather was beautiful so we ventured to the Pheasant Branch Conservancy. Katherine was nervous crossing the stream on the rocks, but it was a fun time for all! We filled our tummies with pitas w/hummus, grapes, carrots, and of course TRAIL MIX!!!

So Much

I feel like all of a sudden life is whirling around me like a tornado. Laundry, new back door, dishes, grocery shopping, designing a new bathroom (finding toilet, sink, vanity mirror, lighting, fan, bathtub, tile, grout, paint color, misc. hardware, etc.), scheduling summer vacations, scheduling our bathroom "contractor", Easter dresses, spring cleaning, bathing kids, getting kids to bed, changing diapers, scrubbing out stains, cleaning, picking up, signing up for swimming lessons (which may/may not be a good idea because of being out of town and missing lessons), cooking, trimming bushes and clearing out the gardens, rain gutters, and MUCH MORE!!!

I want to know, how in the world do YOU juggle everything?? Really, I want suggestions down there from everyone who reads this!!

Fondue Night

FONDUE ROCKS!! ( . . . that's for you Jen). A big thank you to our friends, the Ridays, for a wonderful evening. The food was yummy (that's an understatement), and it was fun to sit and talk. Oh - and a promise to myself to not let too much time pass before I have fondue again. It's so yummy.
