Spring is here the yard is clean and the robins and red-winged black birds are eagerly greeting each warm
morning. We have been plenty busy but finding it hard to do much outside. We did put on some major miles as we criss-crossed the upper midwest for Munkle Arky's wedding. With the church van loaded up with the whole family there were plenty of laughs and we remembered how easy it is to pass the miles with a load of smiles. We are sneaking out for short walks and bike rides but it is only now that the time change has allowed some daylight at the end of our days during the week. The kids are plenty booked up this weekend with double and overlapping birthday parties so I am not expecting a lot of outside time this weekend either. We did head down to the coffee shop after school one day for everyone to work on their school work. Merrick continues to work on spelling and phonics and his penmanship is quite good. He is very eager to learn and it is fun to watch him develop. Sophia really liked the coffee shop idea and a little hot chocolate always helps the math make more sense. She continues to impress herself with her own progress which is super cool to watch her self esteem grow and develop. The kids and I have been doing a little bit of yoga in the evenings to help get everyone relaxed and clear headed from the day. It is pretty to cute to watch Merrick sit ram-rod straight and focus on his breathing. The weather is supposed to hold through Sunday and with the bike tires all fully inflated we can hopefully get in a longer bike ride or hike to see the new plants popping along the hiking trails.
