Walker continues to grow taller than me. He passed up his dad last month. Morgen is almost as tall as I am now. And yes, she is only 11; won't be 12 for another month and a half. Hyrum is growing, too. The pants I bought him this winter are 2 inches too short for him now.
Kids will be out of school tomorrow. !!! how that happened so quickly I cannot imagine!
We started a bunch of seeds in February, and most of them sprouted. We planted them in our garden at the beginning of May. We also tidied up the front yard- put down weed fabric, then a load of bark, then planted irises taken from my dad's yard.
We planned out our summer camping trips, and set a goal to travel to Disneyland next year. Probably February, since we can get away for a week, and it won't be too crowded then.
And I have been busy knitting:
finished this lace shawl:
and a pair of mittens for Hyrum:
another pair of mittens (that coin is a quarter, for size reference):
fingerless mittens:
a heart-shaped washcloth and a little owl that was almost finished in March, but it took me 3 months to decide what I wanted to do for his eyes & beak:
and my current project (well, one of them!) which is a shawl that I'm test knitting (trying out a new pattern) for a friend:
* beautiful spring weather :) and yes, it is almost June here.
* we are all healthy and reasonably happy.
* we have plenty of food.
* chocolate pudding mixed with whipped cream.
* our garden looks green and healthy.
* I have a loving and supportive extended family.
* my husband is amazing.
* summer activity list is on the fridge, and it includes swimming and hiking.
* we went for a family bike ride on Memorial Day.
* God is good.
