Let the landscaping begin....

Every Spring John gets bitten by the "planting bug". We just had a boat load of trees , plants and flowers delivered. Every year we add a few more items to the yard and I have to say that John is a wonderful landscape designer. Our house looks amazing thanks to all of his efforts!!!

The color of these plants are gorgeous!!!!

Footloose and Fancy Free.......

Spring has sprung and Emma and Henry are back to jumping off of the swing set. I remember doing the exact same thing growing up and loving that feeling of flying for a split second until your feet hit the ground.

Henry would have liked to go a little higher but I honestly can't watch when I think that there is potential for a leg to get broken......

We are ready for summer to begin and to just have fun with NO SCHEDULES!!!

Spring......pollen and sterp throat

Spring used to be my favorite season now it is my second favorite. As I look out of my window and see all of the beautiful flowers coming up, trees starting to bloom and the pollen sitting on every surface I have mixed emotions towards Spring. I love how colorful everything is but I also know that I have a little boy who suffers terribly through this time of year. He has itchy eyes, a runny nose and a short fuse because he just doesn't quite feel himself. Thank goodness for Zrytek...it has been a life saver for him!

I am glad that I have these photos as I will look at them in the dead of winter and the thought of pollen won't even cross my mind.

Emma is home once again with strep throat. She is on antibiotics for the next 10 days......yuck!

Spring has sprung......

You really know it's Spring in Hopkinton when all the marathon runners do their long run before the actual Marathon. We were so excited to see Shelly before she took off on her 22 mile run to Boston College. You look great Shell!!!!

Henry told us that he thought that Shelly would get first place or maybe second. What are your thoughts on this Shelly??

Happy Spring!!!

PS- Sold the 24 boxes of extra Girl Scout cookies that I ordered. Set up a stand at the end of the driveway......poof...they were gone.
