All Hail Spring...

The orchid tree started blooming! We can't wait until it is in full bloom it will be awesome.

The kids have enjoyed playing outside more.

They have been playing with Shawn's old toy trucks. Too bad they don't still make toys out of steel.


Emma had given up naps quite a while ago, but recently has still been taking some short ones. She'll just pass out on the floor or the couch or wherever.

Yesterday, we took the kids out to try and fly the little kite that we have since it was pretty windy. The kite flying wasn't too successful, but the kids had fun running around. We went out and got a larger kite, and of course Ezra picked out the biggest one that he could find. It was dark by the time we got home though and we couldn't try it out.

After all of the wind came the storm. It started raining last night, and has rained for most of the day, except for when it was hailing...

We'll see how much damage the pea-sized to marble-sized hail has done here after a couple of days, when everything recovers from the initial shock. Surprisingly, it looks like most of the blossoms on the citrus trees are still intact.
