Just a Little Ramble

I feel like I'm neglecting my blog. Is it better to blog about nothing, or not to blog at all? We've all been sick around here, so energy levels have been low and nights have been for sleeping instead of uploading pictures! We may finally be coming out of the February funk and the weather this weekend promises to be warmer and sunny, so things are looking up all the way around.

On the sports front, Patrick wrapped up his first season of soccer with his middle school team this week. He's trying to decide between a community soccer league for the spring or trying out for his school's baseball team. Chelsea has moved into a sightly more advanced gymnastics class and is bumping her commitment up to two classes a week (tues and thurs)starting this coming week. Matthew has baseball games both Saturday (rec team coached by Andy) and Sunday (advanced team) for many weeks to come. Andy is not playing soccer these days due to a long neglected knee injury that is starting to demand more attention. I am taking a (VERY SHORT!) break from yoga due to sudden and severe hypertension detected at a routine PCP visit. Exercise is of course a good thing in the long run, but I was told my heart was getting quite the work out just sitting still right now, thank you very much. I'm taking some meds and going back to see the PCP next week and expect I'll be back to my regular activity level after that. Sounds like Andy and I are both getting old, huh?

Patrick brought 3 friends home from school today - all girls. Another boy came a little later. They played basketball most of the afternoon in a neighbor's driveway along with the siblings and a neighborhood friend. After that they headed over to my mom's for a quick dip in the pool. It had warmed up in the high 70s today for the first time in a long time, so they were all starting to long for summer. They were quickly reminded that it was early March when they jumped in the pool - it didn't last long! They came inside at dark for pizza and a movie. Two guests are still here, but oddly no one that doesn't live here is scheduled to spend the night!

Well, that's about all the nothing I can think of to blog about. I'll leave you with a few pix of Matthew and his nerf gun obsession.
