Life Goes On

I can't believe it's already been a month since Karin called us with news of her engagement. I didn't want to write anything before she did so I waited, but then all of a sudden a month has gone by and I still haven't written about it. So, YES we are excited for her. We love her fiance Ben, and know that she has chosen well. I am having fun putting wedding plans together and will just love the memories of this time. She may be coming home for a few weeks before the wedding and I will love having her here to help me and visit with me. She is a wonderful and fun daughter. Just check out her blog to see for yourself.

In the meantime, life goes on. I haven't blogged much because I've been spending a lot of time with diamonds and we're not talking gems. Here are a few of the things our family did in March and the first of April.

Matt & Emily finishing up the winter carrots.

I love the next series of pictures that Matt took. A baseball pitch is as beautiful as an ballerina's arabesque to me.







Thomas passed off 8 lollipop math quizes this month and won some writing awards too.

I love that as soon as Scott finishes his baseball game, he hustles over to watch Doug. These pictures make me tear up. Scott is a wonderful big brother and Doug's biggest fan.



There is nothing like an Easter Egg Hunt...


or a trip to the beach. Throw in a few baseball games and we're set.
















Last night Doug performed with other young musicians at the Gallo Center for the Arts. He played a McDowell piano solo. This is his teacher Dr. Stephen Thomas.
