Lots of busy-ness here, but life is good. We are struggling to adjust to Daylight Savings Time, yet enjoying the evening sunlight. Three of 4 kids have been sick during the last two weeks with congestion, fever, drippy nose, etc. There seems to be a big outbreak at high school. So far, Lily has escaped. I can generally work from home, but it’s a bit of a pain to constantly be moving files and such. I am grateful to have the flexibility, though.
At work, we are planning to bring on some bookkeeping and administrative help this month, which should be a huge relief. We will also be moving to a different building soon to consolidate two offices into one. I’m sure moving will be a big job, but the end result should be good.
The Parent Taxi is going like crazy. Ollie has baseball for 2-3 hrs after school daily. Claire is starting a new soccer league and school tennis; Lily has school and another soccer league. We do really appreciate school sports. Practice is generally after school and the school provides transportation to away games. All three of the “big” kids really enjoy their sports and I’m glad they do. They clearly did not get the sports gene from Mom! We will have a ton of games before school is out. I hope it won’t be too cold and we can enjoy watching with AnnaMaria. She is so loved by all the teammates!

Shorty (AM’s kitty) went AWOL last week. We REALLY missed him! It was like the return of the Prodigal Son when he came home! AnnaMaria celebrated by sharing her Cheetos.
Jeff has a new (to him) toy. I think Uncle Johnny will be proud! 
I’ve been really overly anxious for spring and planted some tulips indoors. They have done really well and it’s the best Wal-Mart $4 ever spent. It’s amazing how a little green can lift the spirits!
We gave a few as gifts also and got the sweetest thank you notes. Look at his handmade card. How neat!
I also have my herb garden going in the kitchen window. We have thyme, basil and parsley. Love it! Aren’t the pots cute….Aunt Jan fixed us up with Southern Living at Home.
Girl Scout cookies are here. If you ordered, we will get yours to you ASAP. We have a few extras, if anyone “needs” some.
OK – that’s all we know. Thanks for checking in; I’m always amazed to learn who is reading the blog!

Glad to hear you are all doing good. It looks like AnnaMaria is getting very tall

Anna Maria's hair is getting so long! Sorry to hear that the kids have been sick, I can't wait for the day that Tabitha stops catching every little virus that goes around daycare!
