Birthdays

Kansas was a great place to celebrate turning nine and five!  The kids enjoyed this lakeside party with family.

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.
