I was browsing my April 2008 picture folder today and saw that I have only 65 images saved. (That is personal photos, I did take many more than that, but they were of AWANA events.) That's pretty low for me. Compare that to my March 2008 folder with 207 images. Granted there were two birthdays and our annual trip to the ice park in that batch. Slow month picture-wise. But April went by so fast in other aspects. School is just about done for the summer! Yipee! My Girl and I have been cramming two lessons into each day to finish in time. We started school six weeks after the local schools started. We are now only one week behind them! I am so ready for summer! We have about 5 inches of fresh snow blanketing our back lawn right now. I opened the blinds this morning and moaned...ugh! The streets are still pretty clear as it's too warm to stick...Enough already! I went back and took a look at some photos from last summer...To generate a little hope...Here's two of my favorites...

sickies
Friday, April 18, 2008
we've been fighting the sickies here for a couple weeks. it started out with me coming down with cold/flu symptoms. i was out for a good three days laying on the couch, fever, cough, body aches, migraines. i was feeling generally lousy for over a week. next David came down with some similar symptoms, but with a twist. he got more of the cold like symptoms. runny nose, itchy watery eyes, sneezing.
Gwyneth is now sick with the same thing, but again a little different. she's been running a temperature since Tues. night. she sounds horrible...scratchy hoarse throat, and coughing.
David was doing well yesterday, but today took a turn for bad again. running a fever, and body aches...
I've been feeling o.k. still having a lingering cough, and certainly sleeping later than I should...
it's so depressing...i just keep praying we can all get better...real soon!
hopefully I'll be back soon with much more interesting and happier things to post about!

Ice Park - Part 1
Sunday, April 06, 2008
I did not blog the photos from last year, but we visited in the evening to see all the sculptures lit up. We also froze our patooties off! This year we went in the afternoon, and stayed about 2 hours.
They also have a maze and fun little houses for the kids to play in, but unfortunately this year was pretty warm and many of these areas were roped off for safety reasons.
bubbles
Friday, April 04, 2008
Our little one learned to whistle quite a while ago and has been serenading us ever since.
For the longest time she has wanted to learn the next all-important skill of blowing bubbles.
This girl LOVES gum! It's probably a bad habit, but she loves it anyway...
Above is a cool animated gif I put together of her blowing bubbles just days after her first successful attempt.
What kind of gum did she learn with?...why Big League Chew of course!
I have put this girl to bed many a night since with leftover specks of gum on her lips... :o)
just because...

she's so darn cute...and creative...
She decorated a small box as her "helmet" and used a wrapping paper tube as her spear.
After I snapped these photos she asked "Are you going to put those on the blog?"
hee! hee! She knows me so well!
