March Update

Well, baseball season has begun and if I wasn't already before, I am now a teacher/coach widow. Baseball season seems to be the most difficult time of the year for us. Josiah has to keep up the baseball field mostly himself during any free time that he has during the day. Which of course leaves no time left to get his tests graded, etc.



Lydia has a cold this week, thus limiting my time at the gym, since she can't go in the childcare area with green boogies. I was able to make it to two classes today, thanks to our surrogate grandmother Miss Shirley. I plan to attend the same two classes again tomorrow, keeping up my four classes a week comittment I made to myself. Lydia is walking like it's no big deal and I'm a bit sad she is growing up so quickly!



Esther had a private lesson at gymnastics on Wednesday and was able to learn two new skills! It was an amazing 1/2 hour!! Her teacher says she will most likely move up to level 3 in April. Bye, bye two a week lessons...3 day weeks are coming...competetions too!



Our newest bit of news is our biggest family addition yet...6 new baby chicks. Don't get too excited now...two of our chicks were hawk food the day after we got them, reducing our numbers to four. It was a somber afternoon after our loss of two family members. I think we were all a bit disappointed. 6 days later we still have the remianing 4 though! We named them after Disney Princesses...Jasmine, Cinderella, Aurora, Belle, Snow White, and Ariel. I'm not sure which one's got eaten, but Esther could tell you. She loves those chicks.



I have been working out in the yard a lot and am so excited that we are getting some landscape curbing and a pathway in our front yard. No more dirty shoes for all of you guests! Well, I guess that's all the new stuff going on these days!
