Spring

to Inez - Thanks for the fun shaped molds.  

A St. Patricks day dinner with Jan and Gordan! 
Tessa is showing off the decorations and drinks.

After spreading new mulch, the kids found one of the spring garter snakes.,

Tessa got to try out spring outdoor soccer.  They played in the cold and warm, and once in pouring rain.  She had lots of fun!    

We loved getting out to the park during practices and games.  

Leisel got to try out gymnastics too.  She was pretty cute for a shy gal, and made lots of friends.  She worked hard and got a lot stronger.

I loved that they got to try all the elements.  

This was the ultimate goose egg from trying to jump over the couch.  The black eye showed up soon after this photo.

We love having great friends and neighbors in all these activities!  

Michael's first court of honor

This was during the Shakespeare tech week when we hung out without the boys.  

We went to the high school track for fitness and fun a few times.

Sunday walk with dad

At our Easter visit to Garland we took a walk to the cemetery.  The kids really liked visiting Grandpa DelRay's grave with Grandma.  Now, they remember who he is and want to learn more about him.  I thought it was neat to notice that the Garland cemetery is surrounded with evergreen trees.  What a cool symbol to find at Eastertime.
