We have been having some beautiful weather out here in Kansas for the beginning of spring! The boys have been getting outside a bunch and my favorite thing about spring is about to get going--the garden! This year, we decided to try some seed starting. Last fall, Christopher saved cucumber, pumpkin, and gourd seeds. He washed, dried and stored them himself and we decided to get a starter kit the other day to see what would happen when we plant them. We also picked up some romaine and chard seeds at the garden center. Here is our starter kit after a couple days...

It is hard to see, but the romaine sprouts were starting to come up! Then this morning, we could see chard sprouts and a couple pumpkin sprouts too!

We have been getting together with our neighbor friends to play outside too. Jonathan, Noah and little Christopher have been a little scooter riding gang...

And baby Derek is the cutest, running all over the place and making Tiffany keep up...

Jonathan has been a Lego-building machine recently too. He has incredible patience for his age with the Legos and will sit and take things apart, then put them back together. Now he can move that practice outside!

The boys had a wonderful visit with Nancy while she was here. Chris played a lot of Monopoly and card games with her. One night Grammy joined the card game too and there was an intense game of 500 Rummy...

Daddy has been doing a bit of traveling for work this week and this picture ended up on the computer so I thought I'd share it. He was in Idaho in the beginning of the week...

Chris and Brian are heading down to Dallas again this week for a return trip for the Bluebonnet Feis too!
