Springtime!

Finally some warm weather!  We are so excited!  The end of March brought us a surprise snow storm, 10 inches of snow, and a snow day, so 75 today was awesome!  We were at the ball park for our first tournament with the Wild Cats. The boys looked good.  We might not have played as well as we hoped, it was definitely an improvement from last year.  It should be a good season.  Carson played really well.  He hit his first out of the park home run! Then another today!  It was so neat to see him so proud and actually smiling on the baseball field.  It is no secret that baseball is not his favorite sport.  He has real potential though, so Jeremy and I are hopeful he will start liking it more as the competition and action increases with each passing season.

Some other news has been that our neighbors and dear friends have moved.  We have all taken it hard.  Maisy misses Ninah desperately.  They have been best friends for the last 3 years.  I don't think Maisy can really remember much of her life before Ninah.  They are like two little old ladies...bickering one minute and then cannot live without the other the next.  Carson and Ginny get along really well.  He won't admit it (because she is a girl), but he really misses her too.  Knox misses all of them.  I do too.  The Kerr's have been our family here.  I don't know what I am going to do when they make the move to Montana.  Kristin and I are trying to make the most of the last few months with outings and visits.  But, each time I just leave feeling so sad.  I guess we will be making a trip to Yellowstone some time soon.

This Easter we stayed in St. Louis and the Easter bunny provided an indoor hunt this year, as our front yard was a swamp.  Carson has officially joined the rank of Guardians with his recent discoveries about parental responsibilities at Easter.  We had a sweet conversation about it.  One I will not forget.  He has such a innocent and sweet spirit.  He really didn't want to give up on the magic, but could no longer logically make it make sense.  Just another example of how big they are getting.
