Prioritizing the Blog - 50's Day

Hello all!  I don't know if anyone even reads this thing, anymore, since I am so incredibly inconsistent with updating it.  But, since it is the best record of these busy days in our family, I am determined to keep it up the best I can.  We've been very busy with a variety of things since my last update in January, so here's to the first of many attempts to squeeze in some pictures and descriptions of our latest happenings!
This winter has been rough.  The weather has been disgusting since the beginning of December.  I always expect January and February to be the more unpleasant months of the year, with the excitement of Christmas being over, yet still having to deal with cool and rainy weather.  But the wet season started earlier this year, so by the time mid-January rolled around, I was finished!  Unfortunately, the gross weather was not.  It's still not as warm and sunny as it's supposed to be this time of year (here in mid-March), but it's getting better.  Needless to say, the nearly year-long exercise routine I'd managed to ingrain in my life bit the dust after about 8 weeks of what felt like constant rain.  Oh well.  Maybe I can pick it back up as the weather improves.
One fun event that the girls go to participate in was 50s day at the school Christa will go to next year.  They have these neat "bring a buddy to school"days where the kids can visit the school, and get to know future classmates, teachers, etc.  My girls have gone a couple of times this year, and it has really helped to ease some of my fears and anxieties about "big school."  Here are some cute pictures from 50's day.
