Summer is nearly here. We can't wait! It would have come a lot sooner had we not had so many snow days this year. But we're making the best of it by cracking out the sandbox. Owen loves playing in the sand, and the kids are good sports squeezing themselves into it to play with him.
Addie hit a big milestone. She decided to have her ears pierced. I found a pediatrician that would do it which made me feel a whole lot better about the potential outcome.
Wah-la! Done! And she was thrilled. (Yes that is two more Nanny McPhee teeth hanging on for dear life there. I wish she'd approach those with the same bravery she did her ears.)
Here she is admiring her new earrings after the big event:
This is Ethan with his very tall piano teacher, Jane, at his recital. I told her he will probably pass her up in no time given his Nelson genes. He really is quite a talent at the piano. He made it through two rounds of school talent show auditions playing the theme song to Lord of the Rings blindfolded.
And here is Owen patiently waiting for me to figure out how to put his new ride-along car together. This is the kind of job usually left to Randal. But with his travels, I wore the handyman hat this time. And, well, it took me forever, but I did it! And with only one part left over. No joke. It seems structurally sound without it though, so score one point for me.
And score one point for you too for checking in on us from time to time and seeing what we're up to. We love you all!
