I am really enjoying being home. Springtime is just beautiful. Mom and Dad's place, and perhaps the whole area, has sprung into bloom and just looks wonderful. (I think I need to come in the Spring more often... like every year)! We have really enjoyed exploring outside. We've taken a walk on the Pumpkin Vine trail, enjoyed listening to the water from the porch or kitchen, smelled the sweet smell of lilac wafting in, and listened to the birds. Dad has lots of feeders that bring in beautiful birds (that he is still having to protect from the feisty raccoons).
While today was cooler, yesterday's temperature was just right. Yesterday, we started the day by enjoying a short (like 5 minutes) parade down main street. Tyler got a little flag that he enjoyed waving at the people in the parade. They seemed to enjoy it, if only because not many people were there to look at. :) We enjoyed a shopping trip, and came home with a t-ball set that Mom got for Tyler to hone his baseball skills.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have many of those skills yet.
As you can see, he was quickly given a racquet to try to make contact with the ball. A lot of his time was spent fetching the ball...
... running around...
...and acting goofy.
In the evening, Ted made dinner, which was just delicious. On Sunday and Monday evenings, we played Mexican Train Dominoes, which is so much fun!! If anyone is ever up for any board game, count me in. But, this is one of my favorites!

Today we went to Decatur with Ted to spend the day with Great Grandparents, Wayne and Billie. We were also happy that Aunt Rachel could join us. I was delinquent in my picture taking, but I did get a few. Tyler enjoyed both Great Grandparents reading to him.
Billie fixed us a delicious lunch and we went out for supper. We enjoyed a walk and just being together. I wish we lived closer so that we could visit more often!
