1. enjoying spring break with our kids.
2. painting the living room and bathroom grey...“vintage grey”. it sounds really dull.
but it’s really nice. sophisticated maybe? it was terra cotta...so this is actually a big change. and the trim hadn’t been done in like 17 years.
3. cursing how much painting prep work there is to do before getting to the fun part.
4. listening to...and loving...when our kids laugh and get along with each other.
5. managing sam’s ever increasing social schedule.
we must get three to four call a day for him.
6. missing olivia when she went to columbus overnight for a feis. (but she got to visit the columbus zoo and see a manatee...a life-long dream. thanks, ruth!)
7. worrying about brian’s mom. she is going through a rough patch right now so we keep sending her good vibes.
8. started softball and soccer practices. this week we add baseball to the mix.
9. amazed that it hadn’t happened sooner...sam fell out of a tree and gave us a good scare. (although the friend he was with was probably the most scared of all) sam is fine...just a little sore.
10. amazed at how a week with nothing to do got so busy for us.

Laura,
My daughter Caitlin (age 20) was and still is a huge manatee fan. We sponsored a manatee named Chessie (cuz she was spotted as far north as Chesapeake Bay)for three or four years through Jimmy Buffett's Save the Manatee Organization. She even has a brick with her name on it at the Columbus Manatee exhibit! So tell Olivia I get it!
cool! its fun for her...you should see her room. we pick up new stuff everytime we go to florida. her first manatee was a stuffed one she saw at a store and wouldn’t let go of...when she was just a year old!
