On the Pitch

Lowell (kicking the ball) had her last game of the spring soccer season. They won handily.
 

First Stoplight

At Paseo and Linwood is the first traffic light installed in Kansas City, vintage 1921. Still working! At the time this was a major intersection. Looks like it's had some vehicles get a bit too close.
 

Wait and See

The pot between the garage doors is planted. Now I wait to see what thrives.
 

Blue Knights

Stacy played trumpet (far left) in the SM East Blue Knights, a jazz band. Each year they had a big Jazz Night. I can't recall where this one was but the portraits on the wall behind are interesting. April 1996
 

Extreme Sports

Colin enjoyed sand surfing and pond hopping. 

Rolling Fun

We visited Moon Marble to see the marble games of old and to watch a marble being made.

 

The Load Got Heavier

The last time Joseph had passengers on the piano he only had Adam and Colin. This time Lowell and Vala joined the ride. Made it a bit more unwieldy. 
 

Retreating

Great group of women on our weekend retreat at the Heartland Retreat Center. We were delayed by weather but it worked out OK.

Walking the labryinth.

 

Assistant Instructors

The child watch folks didn't show up so my water aerobics instructor was kind enough to entertain the girls by having them up front demonstrating. Vala said it was best day ever and Lowell now wants to go to class with me every time so worked out for us all.

 

Freedom of the Road

Adam enjoyed showing me his biking skills. Love the smile.

 

Ready to Roll

Already 8 years ago, on the way to the wedding. 

 

Spalshing into Spring

At 85 degrees, we deemed it warm enough for the splash pad. Always pleased to have something work after winter storage. And of course a treat.

 

Cutest Bunny

Vala looked so cute in her bunny glasses.

 

A Welcome Fragrance

I was quite pleased to find some blooming lilacs. Many of the bushes appear to have brown buds due to the harsh freeze a while back. It is my favorite fragrance.
 

Rushton Run

Adam participated in his school Fun Run. He's waiting with other 1st and 2nd graders to start. He ran well. Colin thought he would try it, too, after the big kids finished.
