Spring happens

The Easter chaos with all the grandkids.  I love how Drew has Mom-mom in a choke hold.

Tommy wanted a jersey party for his 5th birthday.

My parents spent a day at Ladew with me.

 Tommy is on his first baseball team.  He is ready to go at 9 am for a 6pm game every baseball day.  "How many sleeps until baseball?" He asks.

Tommy is also really interested in the game settlers.  The game involves trading resources like brick, wood, or wheat.  Tommy seems to have trouble with the word wheat.  "We have so much weed to trade." He says.

Lastly, it's that time of year again.  My kids have grown into such good pickers that we had 2 pecks in no time at all.  It is one of our favorite days of the year.

San Juan & Culebra

Back in March we spent a week exploring the beaches of Culebra.  The kids finished making this yingyang our last morning on the island.  Just feet out from shore we snorkeled amongst brain coral and fan coral and sting rays.  Our other two favorite beaches were tamarindo, with giant sea turtles, and Carlos Rosario which took a mile hike to get to, but had soft white sand and amazing coral.  One of the craziest things was that when we exited the boat on this remote island, one of the first people we saw was one of my closest friends from high school whom I hadn't seen in years!
