A Beautiful Day to Run

Cole had a track meet today at U32 in Montpelier. It was a perfect day with temps in the upper 60s and no humidity.

Between races, hacky sack with a dandelion. 

When did Cole start to look like a movie star? (I still give them their haircuts, thank you very much)

Waiting for the 100 meter dash to start.

I have my photos out of order but I think this is the 800 meter run.

The mile.

In the mile run, Cole got his personal best and set a Glover School record with a time of 5:09.

Here is video (click the link below) that Google made out of my uploaded photos.

I still have not seen Wayne play Lake Region baseball. Many games have been cancelled due to not enough players. I will see him on the summer Babe Ruth team.

The Best Mother's Day Card Ever

I love you too and miss you with my new job. You're the best daughter ever. 💖

Spring Sports

It doesn't really feel like it (we had snow earlier this week) but you know it's officially spring when softball and baseball begins.

 This was Heather's first game of the season, in Newport, after having 2 cancellations due to bad weather.  She was excited about playing catcher. 

 She did a really good job. It's always amazing to see how much the kids improve from one year to the next.  She seems very comfortable and confident playing softball this year.

 Here she is on base after a nice hit.

 This sign on the dugout reminded me of Wayne's early days of playing baseball. He is on the Lake Region JV team but I haven't seen any of his games yet. He hasn't had very many. Several of his games have been cancelled due to not having enough players. He has a home game on Monday that I am hoping to go to.

 Last night, Heather had her 2nd game and it was a home game. Here she plays 3rd base...

 and also catcher again.  Wes will be the umpire for most of the home games.

 Heather got a good hit here.

Cole has joined a track and field team. It's a new program for the Lake Region area schools, so there are still some kinks to work out as far as scheduling, but as soon as there's a meet, there will be photos!

Glover School Variety Show

Instead of a regular spring concert, Glover School held a variety show, featuring musical performances, jump rope routines, gymnastics, and unicycle riding.

Heather and friends played "We Will Rock You."

Cole and his friend Simon (who is somehow a Perron) played Superstition. (Joanie is Cole's biggest fan!)

It was a fun night for talented kids and proud parents.

More Easter

Wes took the kids to Easter Vigil Saturday evening in Newport, so Sunday morning was free time for Easter fun.

Easter morning baskets: Spike is sad that chocolate is poison for dogs. The Easter Bunny tried to find some healthy options for Cole's basket.

Later, over to Joanie's house for dinner. We enjoyed meeting Katie's friend, Jim. He was a lot of fun.

 We had beautiful weather with temps in the 70s so a lot of time was spent outside enjoying the sunshine.

And now, Wes and the kids head into vacation while I head off to work! 

Easter Fun

Hope everyone has a Happy Easter tomorrow!

Cole's Saxophone Solo

The OCSU (Orleans Central Supervisory Union) Middle School had their concert on Friday evening. It is usually held at Lake Region on a Saturday, but for various reasons had to be rescheduled and relocated to Barton School. Cole played a solo in this piece called, "Red Sky at Night."

Boys

Nice to have some big strong boys around.

Lucky 13

Mother Nature is playing a cruel April Fool's Birthday joke on us with this snow storm. Cole and I made the best of it with an early morning snowshoe.

Cole got some new clothes because he has grown a lot.

Anyone a fan of "The Office" tv series?

Every year Wes gives him this coupon.

Wayne made him a chore pass book.

Cole  requested lean turkey burgers and salad for his dinner. I also found a recipe for healthy chocolate cake and peanut butter frosting. Were had dinner with Joanie and Grammie. The "healthy" cake was not a big hit. Heather didn't like it. Joanie said, "Well it was a good effort." Grammie said, "You could freeze it," and Cole himself said it was terrible.

Happy Birthday Cole! We love you very much!
