Catching up

I haven’t had much time to update lately.  Spring is upon us in Houston and we have been living outdoors as much as possible before the summer hits!  I really think our Spring only lasts a matter of weeks – temps will be in the 90s any day now!

We had a lovely time at our school’s Spring Fair.  I helped to make two marionettes and several Indian headbands for our marionette show, “The Hidden One.”  It was my first time participating in a marionette show – creating and performing – and I really enjoyed it!

Between projects, I’ve been working on the boy’s spring vests.  Aidan’s is almost up to the armpits, so that means I’ll get to start on Ollie’s soon.

This past week has been our spring break from school and we’ve kept busy by meeting up with friends that we’ve been missing.  This week went by so incredibly fast!

Thanks for the swim gear & Mardi Gras beads, Nana!

Finally, we finally replaced our old (stolen) mountain bikes.  I’ve missed riding so much!  We’ve been mainly riding around on pavement, but finally got some dirt on our tires this weekend.  It was the boys’ first time on a trail and they did fairly well.  Most of all, it was fun watching them enjoy their bikes in the woods.  I walked to take the pics and help them, then went back later to ride on my own.  (yes!)

Happy trails!
