It's been a wonderful spring break with just beautiful weather and lots of time spent outside in the yard. We had a couple play dates with Gracie and Aiden and Bridget who live about a block away. We created a strawberry patch and we're just waiting for the strawberries to come in the mail (next week, they say, which in my opinion is about a month too late). Right now we have plenty of room for 25 plants.
Talia and Malachi have also been riding their bikes every day, and getting much better at it! No training wheels anymore. Talia likes to do "tricks" on her bike that involve balancing and putting her feet up on the crossbar. Ron doesn't even want to know about this (so don't read this, Ron).
You can see the great digging patch that M & T have created! Anyone who's hankering for a juicy mud pie can come right on over. Some of the dirt has been taken up to the front yard planting bed where I'm hoping to plant a black currant bush. The method of choice in transporting dirt these days (because I'm not sure that all of you are up on the latest technology) is via an old winter knit hat. Fill the hat chock full of dirt, stretch it out good and there ya go!
And finally, aren't those violets so fun! We pressed a page or so of them in Tali's flower press book.

These pics are adorable of the kids!!!! Your yard is already looking wonderful, strawberries or not!
Looks like you guys enjoyed yourselves. It looks warm and green there. We keep getting a tantalizing piece of springy warm weather and then it is cold again. I am afraid it will just be HOT when the weather straightens up.
Talia is so photogenic! I love the one of her with her eyes closed laying with the little buds around her. (Love the "new technology" for dirt moving--We'll keep that one in the back of our minds)
