Writing this post in June is kind of crazy - two months behind? What has happened to me? Well, it's been a whole lotta livin' and a lot less computin' these days. And that's how I like it. But I also like to have the memories recorded and organized and posted. So here I am. Better late than never, my new normal.
 |

 |

 |
| 4.14.17 (finished this one with Cal - I have never read it before but it fits in right between Plum Creek and Silver Lake. I love Cynthia Rylant, so I'm glad she was the one to write this, filling in the gaps from Laura's notes) |

| 4.20.17 (I'm glad my friend Christine told me about this killer deal on strawberries - we are well stocked in the jam department now!) |
 |
| 4.20.17 (it turned out so much better than the apricot I tried last year - strawberry doesn't turn brown after you open it!) |
 |
| 4.20.17 (it's what's for dinner - my first attempt at making German Pancakes since Gregg is usually the chef for these in our house) |
 |
| 4.21.17 (daily strollin' beauty - and what a cloud day!) |

 |
| 4.25.17 (I finished another Newberry Medal winner that I absolutely loved. Highly recommended for a little mystery, a little history, and plenty of humor.) |

(finally got Sam his own pair of splashing boots!)
 |
| 4.26.17 |
 |
| 4.27.17 (I saw on facebook that I had taken and posted a pic of my backyard blossoms on this day a year ago and couldn't believe that they had bloomed so early then. Then I walked out back and what did I see? Popcorn popping on the apricot tree!) |
 |
| 4.27.17 (same story for the fritillaria) |
 |
| 4.27.17 (I love her back) |
 |
| 4.27.17 (even when she's a goofball) |
 |
| 4.27.17 (because really, isn't she the cutest?) |
 |
| 4.27.17 (and in black and white because I can) |

bonus videos!
4.27.17
(Note: there are three different videos linked up there.
Gregg had been singing this song a lot lately, and Sam
started singing it all the time, too, usually when he
was just playing around, kind of like it was stuck in his head
and it was pretty much the cutest thing ever.
Here's the original to compare how close we
actually sound.)
 |
| 4.28.17 (all bundled in the burley for a chilly morning stroll - yes, stroll, not ride - since Gregg got a wheel attachment for his (early) birthday. I think it's more of a birthday gift to me because I absolutely LOVE it!) |
 |
| 4.28.17 (we've been walking a lot more lately since I can stuff them in with a blanket that keeps them warm and I can even zip up the top to keep them dry if it starts to rain or snow) |
 |
| 4.28.17 (one misty moisty morning) |
 |
| 4.28.17 (leftover cupcakes for breakfast anyone?) |

 |
| 4.29.17 (Lily and Sam) |
 |
| 4.29.17 (we had the Adams kids all day while their parents packed up and cleaned out their house. it was kinda crazy having basically two sets of twins for a day, and there were a few meltdowns, which is why everyone is zoned out in front of the tv at 5:30pm, but we're going to miss these friends when they're gone, that's for sure) |
 |
| 4.29.17 (four kids on a couch) |
 |
| 4.29.17 (tv is the best babysitter, amiright? ;) |
 |
| 4.29.17 (farewell photo with Emily - she's been my activity days partner as well as a good friend for the past two years. it's hard to say goodbye, but change is good, too) |
 |
| 4.30.17 (she keeps asking and I keep snapping (and Sam's stick has graduated to a paper towel tube)) |
 |
