Warm winter memories

 We've had very little rain since the last post, but officially spring started yesterday.  Days have been full and daylight has become longer.    What fun have we been having?

IRIS:  Going to the beach with friend Monique, having A-ma and A-gong stay overnight without Mommy and Daddy :) , bicycle riding, seeing a live play about Twelve Dancing Princesses, practicing for the spring ballet show, and rollerskating for the first time.

MOMMY:  Spending a day driving to Milpitas for a training with a dinner stop to see my sister, two nights in a lovely Mendocino cottage with Daddy :) , baking with parchment paper (Thanks to neighbor Karen), learning to fold origami paper cranes, and reading the Kite Runner for the first time (as part of World Book Night on April 23rd).

Are we crossing that bridge?

DADDY:  Preparing for presentations in April-Austin, TX and Washington, D.C., going bike riding with Iris :) , spending two nights with Mommy in Mendocino  :) , taking evening walks for exercise, and helping Iris catch a leprechaun on St. Patrick's Day.

She's a cutie and a keeper!  Life is good, full and sometimes tiring.  God is good, merciful and always compassionate.

Iris enjoyed a sunny cool Spring day with friends Michael and Ashley.  Watch how she goes into her ballet dancing mode in the video below.
