10 On Tuesday

Hello??? Is anybody still checking this blog? Wow, it's been a long time. I guess we've been busy this last month - here's my list of excuses. . . .

1. We visited Steve's parents at their beautiful home in South Carolina. I had grand plans for taking lots of pictures, but instead spent most of my time drinking tea and reading by the fire in a cozy chair. Does it count if I post some pictures from other visits?

2.

3.

5. I served on the committee that ran a large fundraiser for Caroline's preschool. It was a huge success, and we raised more than $10,000! It did, however, use up most of my computer time for about 3 weeks since I was in charge of coordinating all of the volunteers.

6. Caroline has officially discovered boys. She has two boyfriends and has been to play dates at their homes. And these are not just friends who happen to be boys. She spends a lot of time trying to decide which one to marry and commenting about how handsome they are. Both are equally enamored with my daughter. Sigh. Double sigh.

7. William will turn TWO in 5 days. I can.not.believe.it.

8. My mom came for a visit! As usual, we ate too much, shopped too much, and my kids acted like I didn't exist. And, as usual, I'm missing her like crazy now that she's gone.

9. I had a birthday. I didn't feel very well that day, but I did get a new lens for my camera. Here's the one (I know, sad) picture I've taken with it so far (unedited - I've been reeaallly unmotivated in the photography department lately).

10. We have turned the corner from winter to spring in Massachusetts. The grass is turning green, we're starting to see flowers, and green buds are just forming on the trees. The Clark kids are spending their days at the park with friends, and that's just the way we like it!
