What have we been doing?

This month has flown by. I did not anticipate it being such a busy month, and so

I'm playing "catch up" in so many areas right now.

Here are a few highlights.

Isabelle is very into Harry Potter right now.

There she is with her nose in a book!

She says, on occasion, that it's unfair to have to do

school work because she really is dying to read the next plot in

Harry Potter!

Here are Sarah and Mavis trying to get in the screen porch.

Believe me, if we did not lock the door they could certainly

get in. Sarah pushes the handle down and then quickly inserts her paw

in the opening and voila she's in!

One day, while I was gone of coure, Daddy took the kids

to Wendy's! They received a "spy" pack in the

kids meal and this is Joseph "mug" shot!

Here is Isabelle's "mug" shot!

They are some scary looking spies!

The kids felt St. Francis needed to understand how important

sun protection is! Or? I'm not sure what the deal is, but this is what

I found in the backyard!

I have made great progress on keeping my downstairs in great ordermost days, but this week I'm beat. I did actually DO the laundry, but here it is waiting for me to take it upstairs and put it away!

(Do you see that Harrpy Potter book on the chair?)

This month I ran the Atlanta Womens 5K and got a PR!

It's not fast by most runners standards, but I'm happy!

I ran 29:53!

Now, I'm trainig for my first triathlon. It's going to be tough, for me, but

it's fun. I think swimming is the hardest. I, also, actually, need a

road bike. I have a mountain bike and that will do, unless I stumble

across a great deal. I found one on Craigs list, but I need to win the lottery

or something! (Does anyone have a 48 cm or 19inch bike? Ha!)

Isabelle and Joseph just finished up their basketball season, and are

going to be doing flag football this spring.

Brendon is still working our garden. He planted some cucumbers, squash and

watermelon last night. The lettuces are looking awesome. I think we will be

eating lots of lettuce! Do you want some?

Well, that's all folks!
