Steven at Grandma and Grandpa's (obviously before Dixie with the superior red eye elimination function, but a cute photo anyway, and the best I could do at a moment's notice).
It's Spring...well, not officially, but the birds are singing, it is very sunny outside, it's the first of March, I am finally vertical and functioning with hopes of being normal soon, and I am so over winter that I am definitely counting this as the beginning of spring. (Never mind, I just looked at the weather for the upcoming week...lovely today, not so much the rest of the week.) Oh, well, being optimistic is never a wrong choice.
Happy 7th Birthday to Steven today, the youngest of Phil's boys, also the youngest grandchild on the Gerth side...no babies on the horizon anytime soon, so while we are happy that Steven is now 7, we are also a little sad that all the "little kids" are growing up very quickly. Hope you are having a great day celebrating, Steven!
Mark and Matt are over in Noblesville at swimming divisionals, Matt is only swimming the 50 Free and the 200 Free to try to get state cuts for those two swims for USA senior state next weekend. This is his aging up year so he doesn't just have them all already like usual, missing those two. I decided to stay home and put some order into things here, especially with laundry as the guys don't operate with a great deal of laundry-know-how, so while they picked up after themselves fairly well, cooked (okay, they ordered out, but still I did not have to worry about it all), and managed to get everyone everywhere they were supposed to be on time, that pretty much is all that was done while I was down for those nine days. Nine days. I haven't been sick nine days ever...I still cannot believe how hard this hit me. Two words for next fall: FLU SHOT.
Hope to get caught up with emails and blog responses soon, but in the meantime, I'm thinking about you all! Have a great weekend, and don't forget: it's time to start thinking/designing/planning those flower and vegetable gardens...spring will be here soon!
