Here's whats happening with us:
My baby is getting so big. Even though I can't imagine how I could love him more each day, I do! He has gained the title of our easiest baby. He is so fun to have! He is much bigger than he was in this picture. It's time to get the camera out. He weighs about 16lbs now. He has chubby little cheeks that get kissed to death and all those lovely rolls perfect for squishing. Can you tell that I eat him up? Anything silly makes him laugh even the slightest change in facial expression. He's been drooling now for months but no teeth.
Brayden's band teacher discovered that he plays the piano so he asked him to join the jazz band and play the piano. This has meant that he has to be to school an hour early. Thankfully, Kerry has agreed to take him to school. I'm looking forward to hearing him as a jazz pianist at his next concert. He continues to do well in school. He has been invited to join the honor society for next year. I am so glad he is liking middle school. I worried a little bit about it.
Shelby just went back to school from her track break. It was lovely having her home. She kept her little sister occupied. There are a few kids on our street that were also on track break. They spent almost everyday playing outside together. Shelby had to pick a "great American" to do a report and speech on. She picked Beverly Cleary. She read one of her books for the first time last year and really enjoyed it. We have been learn all about her life and books lately. She had to dress up as her (kinda hard) and give a speech. We managed to pull something together. She did a great job. I'm going to bring my camera to school on Thursday to get a picture of her at the living museum the school is doing.
There's always something to be done around here. I do not lack for spare time. It's been a busy month. We lost our sweet grandpa earlier this month. He was a good man, someone I could look up to. He is the first of my grandparents that I have lost. I am very fortunate to be able to know each of my grandparents. His funeral was very nice. We will miss him but know that we will see him again someday.
Spring is here and it's beautiful outside. My rose bushes are full of blooms that I will soon enjoy. I planted some flowers a few weeks ago. loving the way my backyard looks smells right now. I only be able to enjoy it for a few months before it gets too hot.
I guess that's all I have time for now.
