We love having an early Spring/Summer here in Virginia. Our tulips are blooming and beautiful right now. We’ve had a good balance of rain and sun, so the grass is thick and green and delightful. With Matt in school all day on Saturdays, I’m trying to learn how to mow the lawn. Apparently my skills could use some refinement, but at least I’m trying. In the garden: the carrot seeds are doing very well, I have ONE zucchini seed that didn’t get stolen by the birds, and my herbs are starting to sprout. Hopefully this week I’ll get a chance to add a few more plants/seeds to our plot of vegetation.
We’ve been babysitting for some friends lately. This is Henry with his buddy Lola. We’ll miss her when she moves to Nigeria at the end of the summer!
The kids met the Easter Bunny this weekend. I’m sure I’ve never mentioned the Easter Bunny before, so I think there was some confusion. But they were good sports about it and didn’t fuss.
We’ve been doing our best to prepare for Easter. I’m not brave enough to take the kids to any of the Triduum services (especially not by myself), so we’ve been listening to them on the radio (hooray for Catholic radio!) and talking about the story using the Stations of the Cross eggs my friend Lacy came up with. Go check them out at her blog (CatholicIcing.com)! Henry can tell me what all the symbols are for, and in so doing can tell me what happened on Good Friday. This morning he was eating breakfast and saw the Lenten calendar on our wall (also from Lacy) and he told me, “Mommy, Jesus is almost out of the tomb!”
And of course, our reluctant walker is finally figuring out what her legs are for. At least, this is the first time I’ve been able to convince her to do it while I had the camera out.
