Kyle’s church youth group and the chaperons who will be traveling with them to Transylvania this summer to visit our sister church there. Kyle’s soccer team suffered a very disappointing 2-1 loss, Nicolai scored a header to help his team to a 2-0 win, and I was on the sidelines this week nursing my injured knee.
Jeanine and I also cleaned up for a neighborhood social event. Photo courtesy of Maya.
Neither Kyle nor Chloe seemed very interested in being photographed, but I do rather like this shot which I caught between poses.

Maya helped her team to a 5-2 win today showing fine form throughout the hard fought match. Pound for pound she may be the toughest of the Calabria’s on a soccer pitch.
Jeanine poses with her new beds. Later on we fill them with compost and top soil. Tomorrow they will be ready to plant.
The entire family pitched in to complete Jeanine’s new vegetble garden. I started by leveling three pads for the raised beds which Jeanine helped me to set in place. The kids transported and installed wood chips around the beds to create a three foot wide path on all sides.
As an early Mother’s Day present I built three raised garden beds for Jeanine. Tomorrow I will install them in the rototilled soil in the background. Each bed is 6ft x 3ft x 1ft tall. She would also like me to make her a new composting bin. I am trying to talk her into an elevated drum based design but she seems to be leaning towards a more traditional multiple bin approach.
