Spring Has Sprung Too Early

We need to check our previous dates, but the very mild winter, and recent hot weather, sent all our birds into nest-building mode. Mid-march has several nests on our property including a hummingbird nest right outside our front door. Sadly a recent storm soaked the nest and we're worried the cold temperatures might mean the eggs don't make it. Mom hummer is still hanging tough on the nest and only time will tell.

Volleyball Season 2012

An excellent volleyball season just completed and Jess is already looking forward to some volleyball camps this summer to improve her skills before next season.

Jessica's Big Television Break (Not)

Not Jessica's big television launch, but very fun that all the girls in the 5th grade class were invited to participate in a commercial for an electric company that is owned by the family of a classmate. (That sounds like a serious run-on sentence.)

Lucas Laughs in the Face of Danger

Even at only three months old, Lucas has figured out that PJ isn't really all that scary.

Lucasa and Jessica's First Art Project

A few trips to Color Me Mine with Jessica, Charlotte and Lucas to make hand and foot prints for baby Lucas. So darn cute I'm wishing we'd made two so I could keep one!

Patriot's Day March 2012

A fun day at school for Jessica and her 5th grade class for Patriot's Day. All things colonial including costumes, sewing lessons, cooking, quill and ink practice and corn husk doll-making. VERY exhausting for the all the room parents getting the day organized, but a great result in the end.
