Spring Catch-up!

 This Spring has started out a very windy one. Full of sunshine and wind, wind, wind. COLD wind... did I mention it has been windy?? After a season of skiing it has been on to the next sports... soccer and lacrosse. Blaise has been thrilled to play soccer again. Blaise has had a great team and been a force to deal with... a great ego booster!

 Blaise also received his First Holy Communion. There are more pictures but I just threw this one up for a tease. I am so very proud of him. Blaise has grown up so much this year. He is a great kid! We were lucky to have the Slevin's come for a visit ( more on that too) and had a lovely brunch prepared by my dear friend Lyn Kelley!! The Iron Chef don't gots nothing on hers brunch...!!! Yes- I meant to spell it that way... suppose to be a little slang!
 FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT: THE FOLLOWING PICTURES ARE AN ARTISTIC INTERPRETATION OF "HOW TO DIE"... BY HENRY! WATCH CAREFULLY!




 This last weekend we went to Coeur d'Alene , Idaho for Jax's last lacrosse stint. Good stuff! Lots of fun to watch and lots of fun to go to this town. Art, food, great beauty!!
 The girls were amazed by an artist and her work in progress! Madelon Rose had opinions on what she should name the piece. Love to watch their faces!

 FOOD- oh how I miss fine cuisine! Not to say the big Wenatchee doesn't have good food- it does- but the variety is lacking. I just miss a little bit of "umphf" with my choices!!
 This italian place even offers a "make your own pizza" for the kids. You tell them the toppings- they set them up and the kids go make their pizzas.... Yummy!

 The chef's hat was too big for Elizabeth (shocker) so big brother took the hat. I haven't seen them so excited about food in a LONG time. They should make their OWN dinner more often.....





 At the end we went for a walk along the river front. Lovely and the grounds are impeccable. Can't wait to get back.... maybe a quick vacation with Thomas? It's only 2.5 hours away from Wenatchee....



 At the end of the weekend- we stopped in Spokane and walked around the Gonzaga campus. Very lovely, quaint college campus. The chapel was stunning! Doubt any of kids will see this in their future... it is a PRIVATE Catholic University... we will not have any funds left for this school. Sigh!
Well, this is short and quick. Mainly because I have a broken finger and it takes to much time to edit. Oh - isn't the point to get the general idea and look at the pictures???
Much love- happy spring
