church Easter egg hunt

E is a champion helper.  we stuffed eggs on wed night for too long, then he helped hide them, and finally got to find them as well.  he likes being involved behind the scenes.

so glad to have sunny skies so we could hunt outside.


M was so great to do the majority of decorating.



spring arrives

checking out open houses with nice views - but no closets in this one.

exploring potential next neighborhoods

it won't last forever: "i have a good mom and dad"

2 eagles at Lincoln park.  i recognized their sounds.


e's photo skills.

ouch. a bruised ear taking a long time to return to normal coloring.

he and I celebrated St. Patricks day with family day at the y. nice people there. :)


nice people here also!  a chili cookoff hosted by the elder's quorum.  primary leaders were asked to entertain the children.


R made special St Patricks day meal of lamb shepherds pie and fried potatoe bread.


i hemmed some new curtains to hide the water heater from potential buyers.

we eat a lot of eggs.

he always loves a craft!

my lazy night dinner. salty sauce over dumplings with spinach and green onions.

springtime passing

so fun to have friends who have cool Scottish country dancing birthday parties (Ceilidh).  We learned 3 or 4 big group dances, like the Virginia Reel.


R was a trooper kicking his jet lag to the side to participate in the very active dancing.

  yes, there is only one child. so he's in every picture.

still loving Aunt C's fried rice recipe. we make it regularly.  love cabbage!

Daddy brought him cookies and transformer motorcycles back from Korea.

channeling Flat Stanley. one of our favorite book series

spring staging

taking down artwork for staging.  documenting so that we can remember how we loved it brightening the corner of the basement hallway :)

brunch is R's favorite!

  so proud of my guy learning so much in school.  here counting by 10's and READING!!!
