12 Days Until Spring

We have been very fortunate to get a lot of rain so far this season. The plants are so happy. Britten and Hailey think I'm a little crazy when I talk like that but they really are happy. It's going to be a gorgeous Spring. We've been staying busy. Chris is working on a fence & retaining wall in the back yard to give a couple of my happy plants a nice trellis - and to brighten the view from our kitchen window. The kids are doing well. Both are in tee-ball. The season officially starts Saturday. Hailey's the smallest child on her team and Britten is the tallest. It's so cute watching them out there playing. Britten is still doing Cub Scouts and is on track to promote to the next level this summer. Hailey is registered for Kindergarten and eagerly counting the months/weeks/days. We're getting geared up for our big trip to Hawaii next month. Can't wait to see the family and have some down time from work.
The kids are really into the Wizard of Oz right now. We're currently reading the 8th book in the series. They're totally hooked. One of the local theaters put on a play last weekend. We brought Dian for her birthday. The kids were so thrilled to actually meet some of their favorite storybook characters. It was a great time and Dian had her camera ready at the exact right moment.

Well, more later. So glad the Tsunami was a dud. Talk about nerves!!! We all need to get together sometime and have a going away party for the Taylors....there's always something. Happy March birthdays to Dr Suess and Michelle.
