What have we been doing?

On the few warm days we've had, we've been outside soaking up every minute. Here is what we each have been up t0:

Alex has been busy with soccer three days a week. (What am I going to do when they all have things going on?) Unfortunately, most of those days have been cold or rainy or both. But, she has a loyal fan club. Piano lessons are keeping both her and I on our toes. She enjoys practicing so there isn't too much nagging involved.

Sammi just finished her dance class and had a recital last week. She is such a cute little ballerina. She is sad that preschool is over for the school year. It is hard to say if she misses her friends or her teachers more.

Andrew has been pretty busy too. He has grown out of most of his clothes requiring an other new wardrobe. He recently had a sinus infection which was discovered when he woke up one morning with his eyes swollen and gooped shut. His latest word is "teddy", and digging in the dirt in the house plants continues to be his favorite activity. Although, he has also mastered the art of emptying sisters' underwear and sock drawers then tossing the entire contents over the balcony. If it wasn't such a pain to gather and put away, it would be quite entertaining.

Steve has been enjoying the warmer weather too. He has been feeling a gravitational pull toward a large green space with holes. He makes it sound so involuntary, something he can't control like he's being abducted by aliens. This happens every Saturday morning, sometimes during his lunch break and before work. He is gone fore (please excuse the pun in my typo) hours at a time. It seems that a small white ball is involved and he gets very upset with the ball. The ball is often lost as if it has legs of it's own. As a whole, he comes home much happier than when he left. So, I'm not too concerned over his exact whereabouts or how much each of these gravitational pulls is costing.

Me? I'm just trying to keep up with all of them. Sammi helped me plant a garden. I'll keep you posted as to the success or defeat of this undertaking.
