The Bests



It has been the coldest, rainiest spring ever in Cleveland. After the coldest, longest, snowiest winter. But today there is sun.

What have we been up to?

Mason is pretty proud to be riding a 2-wheeler with no training wheels. We are pretty proud of him, too. He started t-ball. All but 3 practices have been rained out, but he is figuring out fielding, glove wearing, and running the bases.

Levi LOVES this motorcycle. He begs to ride it all.day.long. He is happy to be riding Mason's 'old' bike with training wheels.


(and yes his shoe is on the wrong feet.)

Ava can't wait to model her summer dresses without longsleeve onesies underneath. I can't wait to have her chubby arms & legs accessible for squeezing.

We spent a long weekend with the cousins in Maryland.

Ava has had 2 ear infections...and has handled them like a champ {except for sleeping well at night}. The most recent one is a double infection so we have called in the chiropractor.

Tim has been selected for the Summit County Technical Rescue Operations Taskforce (TROT) team and is training in Columbus once a month for 3-4 days. Absence does make the heart grow fonder.

My brother Phil & his new wife Chelsea moved to Ohio from Washington at the end of March. We are overjoyed to have them around and a part of our daily lives!

I am cooking a lot more these days and wondering how it is that I can {seemingly} work from sun-up to sun-down and still have a house that needs swept, laundry that needs to be done, papers that need to be filed, etc.

I have hunkered down and lost 30 pounds since January. Ready for spring! Excited for vacation to Myrtle Beach with the cousins at the end of May. Excited for a visit from Uncle Matt and his girlfriend Michelle at the end of June.

God is good. Time is flying. Will post pictures after I take some on this sunny day... :)
