Sorry for the quality of the photo here, but all I had was my phone at the time and I didn't want to leave little man out there by himself whilst I ran in to get our camera. The kids were all playing on the trampoline and I told them to make a silly face. No, Ethan does not have some kind of palsy...maybe this is his pirate face! Arg!

Nonetheless, spring has sprung! WOOHOO! I was so tired of rainy, drizzly snowy days. Granted, I am sure we will get some flurries at some point, at least we are on the tail end of them. The past few days have hit the 70's. On Monday, the thermometer said 78. So the kids stayed outside for the majority of the day and ended up in their swim suits playing with the water hose.

Ethan started basketball team this week at the local YMCA and he loved it! He is pretty decent making baskets, but we haven't worked with him on dribbling soooo we will need to do that. Ella will start soccer in a few weeks and she is very excited about that.

We had some thunderstorms this week that were pretty loud and they were scaring Ella a little bit. I told her what any honest mother tells their kids... God and Jesus were just up in heaven having a good time at a bowling alley! Later in the day, Ethan, unprompted, asked me if Jesus lived in our hearts. Before I could answer, Ella replied, "no, Ethan, Jesus is just bowling today." Ethan took her word and said, "okay"....and ran off to play. The things they say sometimes are priceless.
