Brandan and Abe built a pair of portable soccer goals out of PVC pipe. It's warm enough now and there's still daylight when Brandan gets home from work, making perfect conditions for post-dinner soccer games. And it looks like you can play soccer in cowboy boots.
Becky just finished reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver which encourages buying local food. It made her curious, "What food is available locally?" so she took the kids to the local farmer's market. The answer in April is "Not much." We were impressed with all the vegetable starts and picked out some strawberry, leek, broccoli and tarragon plants to put in our garden. These plants make us feel like millionaires as we anticipate our future harvest.
Abe hit his face when he slipped running up the stairs and punctured his lower lip with his upper teeth. Brandan was on his way to work, but rode home after Becky called him. There was a lot of blood and Abe has a good-sized gash below his lip, but he didn't need stitches. Abe didn't want Becky to take his photo, so here's a photo of Brandan cleaning him up. Makes 4 years of medical school and 3 years of residency feel worthwhile.
April means it's time for the Pear Blossom Run. This is a great event for the whole family, with 10 mile, 5 kilometer, 2 mile and 1 mile distances, all beginning and ending at the same spot. Sophie and Becky ran the 5K at 7am. This was Sophie's first road race and she didn't whine at all. Sophie and Becky then joined the rest of the family for the 1 mile event at 8am. The photo shows our whole family; Brandan's shadow is at the bottom of the frame.
We're going to Idaho next weekend for Zina's baptism and won't be home on Sunday. We'll be sure to post some photos of our trip when we get back.
