Hiking around

My sister came to visit and the boy was very excited about it.  We went to a local hike area type place to take in some local color.  We got about half way up the mountain, when my asthma started acting up so we stopped and had lunch.  Auntie got suckered into carrying the boy.  Look at those great smiles!

Seeing as it was a week day, the trail was pretty empty, so we didn't have to wear masks.

Husband and I finally were able to get the first round of vaccine.  Such a relief to think that the world is getting closer to normal, thanks to a competent chain of command lead by a competent president.

The boy has also been watchin too many YouTube videos.

 

Easter 2021

 

Spring is springing

The boy and I walked to school this morning and he wanted to ride his bike.  I had to  take this picture because it looked so funny in person, but in the picture, he looks like he's on his way to middle school.  I can see the grown man he'll be in this picture.

It's a good thing I have this blog, cuz the hard drive on my computer crapped out.  Luckily, the best pictures and videos are already on here.  Whew!

 

Silly walk to school in the snow

I love this little outfit.  So grown up and manly, except for the puppies allover the fleece scarf.

 

Snow day/Pi day

Watchin the end of a movie, the boy couldn't help but dance.

It being pi day (3-14) I had to make a few pies.  Not entirely from scratch, or all today, but I did bake the entire length of the movie husband and boy watched.  From the top: Boston cream (made with pancake batter doughnuts), peach with stuessel topping, pecan (left over from thanksgiving), banana cream and apple.

Before you have a heart attack at the thought of two and a half people eating that much pie, they were all mini.  A slice of each fit nicely on the fancy dessert plates.

 

Sharing Ice Cream

The Boy: (carrying a tub of mint chocolate chip and two spoons) Let's dig in.

The Husband: We're great parents.

Snow snacks

One day, it's 60 degrees.  The next, it snows like 8 inches.  We got the day off from school, so we went sledding with friends.

One of them leant the boy their snow goggles which looked adorable and boyish.
