Spring has sprung

April 22
The first cherry trees blossomed yesterday--at long last Spring has arrived!

Exciting things on the docket--nine weeks left until we go home

Our little guy keeps on growing.  He's grown out of his "FaS shoes" and is now wearing his new "FASt! shoes."  He loves running EVERYWHERE! Rawly's excitement for sports changes with whatever the boys are playing in the gym.  It's currently "Rawlyball" season (AKA volleyball).  He doesn't have too bad of an overhand serve either.  He also loves to perch on his window sill and watch everyone run fast (even mom's a fast runner--what a confidence booster!)
