Sherwood Gardens

 We seriously come here every year.  It's so beautiful.  We went a couple of times this year cause we like it so much and it's our last Baltimore spring before we move.

Drool baby and Chicken little.

 This flower had a really weird fringe at the tips of the petals.

 This face says- I do Not like flowers.

 That Evy is a little ham.  Who knows why she insisted on the chicken costume?

Misc

 Ryley and Evy violin recital.  I think Evy is embarrassed because she played so good.

 little piggies, playing in the mud

 Daddy dog pile

 Jensen monkey in the tree

 Best buddy Sage!

 The piano puts him to sleep.

 The cryptic hand signals are symbolic of our pregnancy numbers.  Me and Autumn are due only a few days apart.  I actually gave her all of my pregnancy clothes, and then a few days later had to go and ask for them back when I found out I was expecting too (despite the IUD I might remind you).  We went for a little bike ride on the NCR trail to enjoy the nice weather.

Kitchen Remodel

 Getting ready to move to St. Louis, where Ammon got a post doc position.  We decided we'd better do this kitchen remodeling thing that we've been talking about doing for forever, while we have Dad's help here.  Not the best timing... trying to pack, Ammon's finishing his thesis, new baby, just found out I'm pregnant even though I had an IUD.  Well, here's the Before and After pics as we progressed.

Thanks for all your help Dad!  We never could have done it without you.  It turned out beautiful!  Wish I was going to get to enjoy it, instead of renting it out!  At least I feel confident I've got good renters who will take excellent care of it.  Better than me, probably.

Baseball camp with coach Juliana

 We missed the baseball sign ups for the kid rec leagues, so we decided to start our own little baseball camp, with Juliana as coach.  We had some neighborhood kids join us and it was really fun!  Mostly, the kids liked to monkey around, but I think they improved their throwing, catching and batting by the end.  Plus, we got some of the rules down, like where first base is, and not throwing the baseball at the runner to get them out.

 Maybe someday Eugene.

 Jason, being a baby hog!  He loves that baby.

 Yeah, you win Ryley!  She caught the water balloon from the launcher on our party day at the last practice.

Man, I miss these girls!  Great moms... except for that one in the middle... not so sure about her, sort of sketchy.

Spring Hiking

 nice mud pie Ryley

 Easter egg hunt in the woods.

 Jensen got a little bit too muddy to wear his shirt.

I love this waterfall.  Its tiny, but it's the best thing we've got here in Baltimore.  I'm glad we got to hike and run with my friend Jenny and her kids one last time too!
