end of April...oops, early May!...update

 Despite not being present here on the blog much lately, there have been a few fun events going on in our lives, things like:
...the second grade musical performance at the girlie's school (she is a butterfly, in case you were wondering):

...a field trip with her class (and Daddy as a chaperone!) to the Baltimore Museum of Industry and Fort McHenry:

 ...a boy who is trying to learn to ride his bike without training wheels (we're not there yet...):

 ...a "reading nook" which has come together in our upstairs area that is half library/ half craft room. Its not quite finished yet, so I promise you more details later. So far I have a crib mattress, four throw pillows and a quilt I made that is backed in "minky" faux-fur that is oh-so-snuggly!

 ...a few trips to the park and various playgrounds:

 ...and the park with the 4-H animals; love those spring lambs!

 And finally, just tonight, I dropped the girlie off for her first weekend Girl Scout Encampment! She was so excited, and I can't wait to hear about all the fun when we pick her up on Sunday!

 So, that's life in a nutshell around here. How are things in your neck of the woods?
