This weekend

Dane came home with this tooth (his first) barely hanging on.  He tried to pull it with bare fingers, but it was too slippery.  I found him a rubber glove, and he pulled it right out!

Gone!

 In the photo above, you'll notice Dane's wet hair.  The weather was so nice that Dane and Mike had an outdoor water fight Friday afternoon.  We all wore green yesterday, but we kept pinching ourselves that it truly was 70+ degrees and sunny!  The snow (see previous post) is long gone, and the grass is starting to turn the slightest shade of green.

We've been letting the chickens out from time to time.  It sure makes the kitties curious!

Cats on three sides!

A tulip popping up.

The kids have had so much fun swinging from ropes in the barn recently.

We went for a nice long walk along the flowing creek, throwing rocks along the way.

I love so many things about this photo.  1.) My nearly 6-year-old boy's great shooting form.  2.) His sister's oblivious sideline play.  3.) My hubby's nice vertical. (And the fact that he jumped without even thinking, just 3 weeks after a minor knee surgery.)   4.) Our loyal dog lounging to the right.  5.) One of the three kitties that was watching us.  6.) Beautiful red barn.  7.) Great shadows.  8.) Blue skies.  I could go on, but you get my point!

This year, the batting cage is set up in our big old barn instead of in Grandpa and Grandma's shed.

Daddy's cute pitching team. (Dane has been smiling somewhat awkwardly in an attempt to make sure his missing tooth shows in photos!)

Have a good week!
