Nico drives past a defender at the top of the box to score a goal late in the game helping his team to a 3-0 win against Winchester. It was a beatiful hard drive to the low corner.

Lydia is spending the night with Maya and the two devised a number of poses they thought I might like. Many involved feats of great strength. They will be dissappointed to learn I picked this photo for posting because neither one of them was upside down.

Nicolai is really starting to sound quite good and has concluded that he can still play with his newly installed braces.

The magnolias across the street are in full bloom. Spring has arrived.

 
A Blue Heron shot at the Rookerie off Rt. 2.  Not the best light or image quality but I am always happy to catch one on the nest.

Patriot’s Day in Concord (the birthplace of the American Revolution) is very serious business. Marching in the same parade (over a 4 mile route) this group of slightly less fearsome Brownies including Maya and cousin Rachel.

It wouldn’t be Easter without an egg hunt.

Maya and friends at an Easter Day party.

We have been invited to friend’s for Easter Sunday. Jeanine prepared this strawberry rhubarb pie from scratch. For many in the house, dinner can not start too early today.

My little princess.

Spectating from the sidelines were Nicolai’s aunt Alissa, uncle John, cousin Johnny, and Kyle.
