When I signed into this blog today it told me: "last import March 4." Today is May 3 - almost two months have passed since we've posted anything here. And yes, folks, it has been quite a couple of months.
Today though, we are happy and full of gratitude. Joel just returned from a long weekend on John's Island in the San Juans, visiting his old summer camp, Camp Nor'Wester. We celebrated my grandma's 87th birthday on the 1st. I got some good news from work today (my company has been weathering the recession's backlash affecting states' budgets - but things are looking up!). The kids are happy and healthy, and our bathroom remodel is finished!
Spring has finally arrived here in the Pacific Northwest. Trees are green and flowers are blooming everywhere. It has been hard won this year - we weathered many cold, blustery months to get here. Some pictures from our springtime...
