Spring Break Madness

It was a quietly packed spring break for this family. Lots of family time! Plenty of yard games. Finally taking down the Christmas lights (don't judge). Snuggles with the pups. Time at the softball field, including a super fun parents v kids whiffle ball game! Lots of walks with the dogs around the neighborhood, Greenbelt, and Kleiner. March Madness! Nights around the fire with good music. Legos galore. And movies! We saw Sing 2 and The Lost City. All in all, a wonderful week off for the kiddos.

Softball is in the air!

Well, it sure FEELS like spring softball out there. Chilly temps and wind? Yup. That sounds about right. Practices started a few weeks ago, and we finally had our first game yesterday. The girls did so well! Kendall struggled a little bit pitching, but she definitely battled through it. She had some great plays defensively and some solid singles at the plate. I think it's going to be another fantastic season for her!

That's a Wrap!

5th grade y-ball came to a close this weekend. It's been an adventure watching Kendall navigate basketball this season. She is a beast on defense but a little timid on offense. Something to work on, for sure!

February Literary Adventures

February was another great month for books!  I started off with My Darling Husband, which was a fast-paced domestic thriller.  Anything by Brene Brown is going to be a deep dive, and this proved true with my eight pages of notes that came from that book. Isabella Maldonado is quickly becoming a new favorite author of mine with her FBI series. James Patterson is back with his latest Alex Cross book, which was excellent! I really liked how he branched out of the usual DC area and hit Mexico and Montana in this book. Family Money was a Prime free read for me. These have really been hit or miss, and this one did not disappoint. Another fast-paced thriller with lots of twists. Diablo Mesa was another great read, though a bit into the sci-fi arena (this one centered around Roswell), which always makes me a little nervous. I finished up the month with the latest in the Rockton series. I have been hearing that this is the last book in the series, which would be a bummer for sure. I adore the Rockton books, and really wish they would turn this into a TV show. Plenty of depth. She really tidied things up at the end, which makes me think maybe the series is done.
