April

One more day and I'd have to reconcile myself to having let another month go by without a blog post. Whew! Hooray to Bill for taking the boys on a hike to "the acre" so that I could get this post up.

Alex has been busy ...

1. Mastering swinging without assistance.
2. Learning to ride his bike without training wheels. I'd post a video, but he's far too quick. Bill and I ended up sprinting after him all around campus on his first day out. He still has trouble getting started on his own, but can now stop safely without assistance -- a vast improvement over his previous technique of crashing into anything that struck his fancy (grass, trashcans, me) to stop his momentum.
3. Making dozens and dozens and dozens of paper airplanes.
4. Leaving notes all around. I found this one under my pillow this morning!

4. Loving on his "doggie". Who, this night, had apparently invited some friends.

5.  And, generally loving the (on-again off-again) early spring.

Meanwhile, Owen has been busy ...

1.  Hiking ... and making sketches of both his hiking adventures and his hiking partners.

2.  Bravely going where no small boy has gone before ... at the children's museum.

3.  I have no idea. But Alex didn't seem to mind.

4.  And, playing ball! 

Alex is playing t-ball too which means we are at the park Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings as well Saturday mornings. My guess is that my blogging track record is unlikely to improve any time soon.
