I suppose I am now going to have to write a chatty, “I had eggs for breakfast” post.

Spring is always such a whirlwind.

Timothy just left for a month of military training. He has just bought his first little house on a couple of acres and has been working non-stop to get it ready for Natalia. They are planning to be married on June 23rd.

James is trying to make his final decision about where to go to school next year. I drove down to south Georgia with him earlier in the week. We did find one speed trap in south Georgia. We need to ask Nicholas for one more FOP sticker!! James tried out for the baseball team and we ended up really liking the school. Now we have lots of paperwork to do. That is one of the hardest things about having older children. Paperwork, always paperwork.

Nathaniel has played 4 regular season baseball games this week. They are 3-1. They got in at 12:30 am last night so I didn’t get to hear the whole story but I did hear that Nathaniel hit a homerun. He has also been asked to travel with a local church to the Dominican Republic to play baseball in June. Yesterday we sent off his passport papers. Now we have more paperwork. June is going to be a humdinger of a month.

Christopher is also playing varsity baseball. He is a little young but the coach understood that we couldn’t divide up the boys because of travel considerations. Just to prove the coach made a good decision Christopher has gotten great hits every time he has been put in.

Benjamin and Emily are helping me hold things together. Benjamin’s ball season doesn’t start until later in the spring.

Alex and Andrew wake up every morning and ask if they have a practice today.

I am trying to decide what flowers to plant and if I should go ahead and get my ferns for the year. I am on day 66 of my walking streak. I bought new walking Bite Sandals.

The bradford pears are blooming. I suppose that means all is right with the world.
