Where did my brownie go?

Faith bridged up to Junior Girl Scouts this May!  No more brownies in this house.  (Well maybe the chocolate ones...)

Strawberry Pickin

Ben enjoyed picking strawberries with his preschool friends back in April.

Easter Shots

Not a lot of time or planning spent on these... Tripod family pix with less cooperative kids...
Real life here.

Baseball and a Parade

Ben had a preschool parade last Friday.  He did great bringing up the rear and beating his drum!

Here is Ben in his T-ball gear.  Hannah is also playing softball this year which has kept us busy with practices and games.

A Poem

Spring Awakening

By Hannah Grelk

The world is clothed in springtime, 

Grass blades in dew drops divine,

Flowers strewn with honeybees,

The wind blows sweet, fresh, and fine.

The world is new at springtime,

The branches put their leaves forth,

The cold and snow are gone now, 

And again the birds fly north.

Daddy's home!

Brian finally returned on Saturday.  His flight had been delayed two days.  We were hopeful that it wouldn't be delayed again.  We were able to go to the gate to welcome him home with our signs.  I just stood there with tears of joy rolling down my cheeks.  Needless to say, no pictures were taken right at the reunion.  I actually forgot to even bring my camera.  Faith said that she didn't need any pictures of the moment, she would already remember it for the rest of her life!

Gifts for the kids and gifts for Dad.

No one took our picture together so here is just a quick snap shot.

Brian made it home in time to take the girls to the Girl Scout Ball.  They were so glad he could take them.  Faith said she is so glad to have two parents again!
