The azaleas behind our deck (I think they're azaleas):
I'm not sure if M3 or M4 took this, but it's kinda cool. So there ya go:

New bike
We got M3 a new (used) bike from our local bike shop. She had no trouble at all switching to a much bigger bike. She's so excited, she wants me to wake her up early to go on a bike ride BEFORE school!
Still needs the seat up a bit higher, I think.

It's Nature's Nature
Whoa! I fell into a hole!
It's nature's nature
Oof! I tripped over a stone!
It's nature's nature
Ugh! I fell into the lake!
Well, it's nature's nature!

Happy Mother's Day!

KC visit
We had a mini St. Angelo family reunion last weekend. Too short for us Iowans as we only got to stay about 36 hours! But we had such fun hanging with the new cousins, V and O, and seeing everyone. I didn't get any pics of O, though! What's up with that? Next time. Also I was treated to a lovely early 40th birthday party! Thanks everyone!

Where the Sidewalk Ends
There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.
Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.

And he put his face in the water!
Last week was M4's spring concert. Doesn't he look thrilled? No really, they were so cute! And he got to play the xylophone. Although he was upset he hadn't worn his tie (clip-on which doesn't match in any way!). 
For two weeks, the Kindergarteners have had swim lessons. M4 still is terrified of floating, but at least he's (semi-) dunking himself and putting his face in the water for a split second! 
(I've been supervising the little boys getting changed for the lessons, which is its own brand of hilarity.) M4 does know how to turn on the camera-ready smile when I ask! Maybe he'll float a bit by the end of lessons!
