Patio Sealed

 

I took a half-day on Friday to seal the patio - you can see the difference between the lower level (sealed) and the upper level (unsealed).

Ice Cream Truck

 

Emerson and I ran to flag down the ice cream truck. This was Emerson's first time, and hopefully it's memorable since he laughed all the way down the street.

Seminary Hill Farm

 

We joined a CSA and are enjoying fresh bounty on Tuesdays from Seminary Hill Farm at the Methodist Theological Seminary. 

Working Hard at Gymnastics

 

Good job to Winnie on completing another session at COGC. She works hard and often comes home from class and practices more.

Zoo with the Meyers

 

We enjoyed a summerlike day at the Columbus Zoo with the Meyers. It was great catching up! A highlight was watching a mother and baby orangutan play.

Grandpa's Camper

 

We're sorry Grandma is in the hospital & prayers for a speedy recovery. Emerson had been looking forward to Grandma and Grandpa coming to his soccer game. That understandably couldn't happen, but Grandpa surprised Emerson by bringing his camper to the house.

Jumpoline Day

 

Doc had lots of help from Winnie and Sarah - they set up the trampoline today!

Vaccinated!

 

Seth & I both got our second COVID-19 vaccinations today! 

Breakfast for Winnie

 

Emerson made Winnie breakfast. He designed a special jelly-raisin sandwich.

Teammate Medal

Kit and I finally got to watch Emerson at soccer. He sure is a runner! Seth said today he did his best yet. Much to Emerson's delight, he was awarded the teammate medal. (Previously, when asked how he liked soccer, he said, "I'll be happy when I get that coin.")  It was fun watching all of the little ones & Seth in his element coaching.

Snow!

Where did this 2"+ of white stuff come from?!
 

Mask On

 

This guy finds it fun to wear a mask.

Hanging Out at SourcePoint

 

It was a beautiful day to enjoy blooms at SourcePoint.

Final Tournament

 

J.23 competed in their final tournament at the Columbus Convention Center. Coach Matt filled in for Amaya, and I filled in as coordinator for Olivia. Kit had another good day of serving and bumping. She and I celebrated the season by having lunch in the Polaris area before going home.

Winnie & Friends

 

Emma, Cam, and Winnie having a good time! If you look closely, you can tell that Winnie painted her face to look like a man.

Orange Playground

 

Seth, Emerson, and I stopped by the Orange playground after running a few errands. He was all over it!

Coshocton Volleyball Tournament

Kit's J.23 team had a two-day volleyball tournament in Coshocton. She did great with consistent serves and return bumps. We enjoyed our one-on-one time, which included dinner at a Mexican restaurant & staying at a cheap hotel.

 

Emerson Begins Soccer

 

I was bummed to miss Emerson's first soccer game since I was away for Kit's volleyball. Seth is the coach of the i9 Sports' Blue Dragons team. Apparently Seth can manage 3-year-olds while carrying around his own hesitant player. Thank you, Winnie, for the photos and videos!

Emerson's First Day at Kiddie Academy

Emerson began Kiddie Academy today and seemed to enjoy it. We appreciate the email updates with photos to see what he's been doing. We're hoping he has fun as he gets a more academic structure.

Easter 2021

 

We had a nice Easter with online church, baskets of goodies for the kids, an egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa's, a visit with my brothers and their girlfriends, and a surprise guest in the neighborhood. Emerson told me at bedtime, "That Easter bunny was in a costume."
