.. Back at last!

Okay, I know it's been a really really long time since the last time I participated in my blog and I know all you out there have eagerly been awaiting an update.

What can I say, I have been super super busy with all kinds of projects that have needed my
 undivided attention and that I cannot reveal at this moment in time for fear that the recipient of said project might read this.  Needless to say I
 have been so wrapped up in completing these tasks that the blog has been put on the back burner for a considerable time.  Now I'm not saying that the projects are all complete, but some of them are almost there.  

Not to mention a visit from Mum/Oma in the middle of this mix, kids and the school.  
Owen starting baseball again with a huge commitment of practice 3 times a week, Morgan's Gymnastics, The talent show rehearsals 2 times a week, Piano
 for the two of them, homework and the day to day house
 keeping.  Oh and did I mention the School's Art Show is 3 weeks away, for I have been in charge of designing, arranging for printing and packaging the 12 art cards that will be sold at the school. (The designs were the kids own artwork.)  Then there were the t-shirts that needed to be designed and created.  The Tattoo artwork, the press releases and the posting of the Art Show Posters around town. Phew, I'm tired just reading all that.  On top of the top secret project that I'm working on, I have the end of year books that I am creating for Owen & Morgan's classes.  Still I'm beginning to see a light at the end of the tunnel, I've finished all the art cards, done the t-shirts, handed over the art work for the tattoos, and distributed all my posters today.  

Owen is currently at baseball as I write.  Both have finished their homework and so I'm taking a couple minutes to update all.

Weather here is still just plain weird, from snow, sleet, hail and the never ceasing rain we occasionally get the most glorious days of suns
hine.  But they are few and far between and I can honestly say that I'm am past ready for some hot weather and blue sky.  Still on one of those amazing days we took a trip the tulip farm in Woodburn and as you can see from the pictures they were just breathtaking.

Bowling and the first signs of Spring.

So  we can see that the first signs of spring our about, as the daffs are starting to come up and the buds are beginning to form on the tree...
