Happy Spring

The weather this whole week has been lovely, and today was no exception.We’ve been getting out to bask in sunshine and slowly shedding layers, first coats, then jackets, as we meander from our unusually mild winter into spring.

The Brotherhood is closed on Tuesdays, and so we get to have Chris at home for the day and it’s always wonderful, but even more so on days like this.  We walked into town for lunch.  Nora was so happy her Dada didn’t have to go into work she could barely let him go.Even when being pushed in the stroller she wanted to hold his hand.

Finally, as we walked back from town with him instead of without, she realized that he was really was home for the day and started walking at her normal pace, stopping to inspect rocks and flowers, and fill her pockets with nature.Later, I did some spring cleaning and took a few things to the consignment shop (where, for the first time ever, I met someone who recognized me solely from reading my blog  — hi, Meg!) and then I came home to find the two of them hard at work.Be still, my heart.  Today was one of those days that could have gone on forever.

    Sounds like a great day for starting the new season! I love Nora’s red patchwork dress. 🙂

    That’s wonderful you had a great day with Chris and Nora! You well deserve it!! Enjoy the mild weather.
    I’ve been glancing at other Nantucket blogs on “Meg’s” website you cited. Would love to see Nantucket! We live on the Chesapeake, across the Bay Bridge from Annapolis, more rural, flat, and laid back. You and Chris are building a great life for your family Amber–be proud!!!

    Hi Amber, Thanks for the link. It’s such a thrill to meet someone who actually reads your blog, isn’t it? It happened to me last fall while eating out with David at a restaurant. I floated all the way home…

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
