Spring Flowers

John suggested we take some pictures with the azalea bushes this morning - to take a break from our busy weekend. Sydney was over so she joined in the photos too. Estelle's first soccer game is this afternoon and we had Mike & Nikki's baby shower at our house yesterday (and ate more leftovers today already!). Fun times, we're glad to see the flowers blooming!

Here's What's Happening!

George lost tooth #2 before celebrating with Little Ceasar's Pizza on March 31. Both bottom teeth are almost in to replace the lost teeth. Edward the Tooth Fairy noted "bigger" this time (remember, last time Edward said "small").


I went to NYC to do a presentation and actually made it into the city. At the highly recommended Carnegie Deli, I had a huge corned beef sandwich with a potato knish AND a piece of strawberry cheesecake - but it lasted me 3 days. The M & M World store was open until midnight. Of course, there were people everywhere! It seemed quite light with all of the neon signs and jumbotrons on every corner. Saturday night in Queens was an equally fascinating experience at a Hong Kong Market after dinner at Joe's Shanghai. Meats and fish in every imaginable state - dried, pickled, fresh, live - produce, an entire aisle of sauces ... it was crazy but I didn't want to be the rude tourist and take pictures (the place was also teeming with people).





This afternoon, George's Tiger Cub den had a visit to the Firefighter's Museum here in town. Very fun and held their attention. After the fire safety lesson Estelle got to put on the full gear and - try to - walk around. I don't think she'll be choosing that as a career but she had a good time dressing up.

Tonight George is supervising dinner - just hamburgers but he's referring to his recipe book and putting his own twist on things. That is a good break from cleaning up rooms and putting away laundry!

These pictures were taken with Estelle's camera, though most of them by someone else so that Estelle could be IN them.
