Annabelle performed the musical with the choir for 2 more shows at Wooddale the first week of May.  It was called "Sticky Notes and Bible Quotes".

Nathaniel started his 3rd season of soccer.

MY favorite bird, the grosbeak made his spring debut the first week of May.

Nathaniel and I did the Prairie View Fun Run together.  A little cold, but at least it wasn't snowing like last year!

Squirrel rescue!  I spotted a baby squirrel about 30 feet up in our pine tree...stranded out on a branch.  It's eyes weren't open yet...and we watched him fall to the ground on a soft pile of leaves.  After a lot of phoning around - I found that the Humane Society would care for him and release him to the wild.  

He is sleeping here!

This gives you an idea of his size - about the size of a chipmunk.

Nathaniel and me after the school picnic, in his room for the African Open House.  The kids just finished a unit on Africa and we got to see all they learned and made!

Our major spring project, re-grading  a very steep hill in our yard with rocks and wood mulch.  It will make mowing much easier!
