Have You Seen Me Lately

Intermittent posting ... we will try to be more consistent but time will tell.

We had some endings this week ... Lily finished up her first year at Hebrew School and lacrosse.  She is still busy with piano - she has a recital coming up soon and soccer.  Jack had his last pre-school field trip and last school soccer practice and he is down to three weeks left at his school.  He is very excited about kindergarten in a few short months.

Since our last post we celebrated Grandma Gail's birthday, Marcy's actual birthday and Mother's Day.  We had more visits with Aunt Tracy, Uncle Stan and Garrett and Casey before they headed back to Colorado.  Aunt Kelly came over to babysit and Grandma Gail and Grandpa Tom adopted a new Siberian Husky pup named Rimsky.

We also had Jack's spring show where he and his classmates sang all the songs they learned since September.  There is some video below.

Anyway, here are the pictures from the past two weeks.

Life Begins at 40

Posting has been on hiatus recently as we have been super busy around here.  Between kids activities, family events, finishing the renovation project and jobs and school we have not had as much time to blog as we would like.  So let's catch up ...

Lily is finishing up lacrosse season, piano lessons are winding down and soccer season is coming to a close.  Jack is finishing up t-ball and soccer and getting ready for summer camp as the spring winds down - he has only four weeks left of pre-school.

This past weekend we had a birthday party for Marcy who is turning 39 again.  We had great visits from lots of friends and family who came over to celebrate with us.  Aunt Tracy, Uncle Stan and cousins Casey and Garrett came into town for a visit.  Aunt Kelly has moved back east after a spring working remotely from Colorado.  Aunt Donna and Uncle Stephen came in from Montreal and cousins Emilie and Stephanie came down for a visit from New York.  We also had friends come from Delaware and Pennsylvania and southern Virginia come over.

In addition to Marcy's birthday, it is also Grandma Gail's birthday this week so special birthday wishes to her this week.  It was also Casey's birthday last week so we need to wish her a happy birthday as well!

There are lots of pictures to go through so check back tomorrow night for all of the week's photos and videos.
