a tale of 2 rooms

Look at the sitting area Jill has assembled in our bedroom!  The extra space was provided by moving Janny out of our room this week and into the girls' room.  We delayed this change not because we were glad to have Janny with us but because we didn't want her to wake Clara.  Sadly, she has yelled several times this week.  Clara wakes up and hangs out with mommy and Janny until Janny finishes drinking some water.

What does a lack of junk do for us?  We have lots of room for other peoples' stuff.  Our friends' stuff is in our garage until she finds a new place.  3 different families stuff in one house!  Our car has joined Fareshteh's on the driveway.

 The Halls came down from Michigan for a visit last weekend.  Brent and I took a short ride on Saturday, both of us on our shiny new bikes.  We're happy to see their whole family getting excited about riding together.

Spring has cooled quite a bit lately, but our garden is coming along.  Some spinach and lettuce is poking up, and we have some jalapeno plants in the ground.  One black rasberry bush has some flowers, so I really hope to eat some berries this year.

The girls love to play outside.  Clara loves to dig the dirt, and Janny wanders around pulling flowers and looking for sticks and rocks to put in her mouth.

 Our church softball team has started the season with 3 blowout wins in the B league.  Our team is basically the same as last year except that we upgraded our shortstop defensively.  Should we feel bad that he doesn't go to our church?  I sure don't.  You can check our stats out here (search for TCBC).
