Spring Training

Spring training Will for a bumper crop of summer beans.

 

A Very Gentle Easter

We celebrated Easter at Grandpa and Grandma Gentle's, today.

Lots of good food.

Mixed with thought provoking conversation.

And sunshine.

The kids blew bubbles after lunch.

 And then dyed eggs.

 Rob used a multi-dipping technique.

 Luke, the boys' cousin, used a 3-year old INDEPENDENT technique.

 Jack and Will preferred the markers.

 While Charlie used a little of everything.

 Eventually, we all lost interest.

 Thanks Grandpa and Grandma for a great party!

Happy Easter!

Purr-formance

This little cat did a great job in his school play!

The audience was mesmerized.

 Charlie's big scene, talking to the Easter chickens.

 What a great bunch of kids!

 Post performance ice cream.

The play left us with a lot to think about, I guess.

Still not into the ice cream, Will, huh?

Springtime Firsts

We didn't catch your first steps, 

but we're enjoying all the firsts you're experiencing now.

 Like finding a good stick.

 Throwing pine needles.

 Trying to keep up with your brothers.

 Playing with the birdseed in your grandparents' driveway.

 Taking a break on their back porch.

 Stealing Grandma's bleeding hearts.

 Enjoying your first Popsicle of the season.

You make life sweet!

Butterfly Thoughts

Charlie, you read the sign, right?

 "Just wait until I see your brother in my yard next week."
