 My lunch on Friday: leftover salmon with warm tomatoes topped with kosher salt and cilantro. Delish!

 Thursday dinner: Lemon roasted salmon with couscous, and a salad of red leaf lettuce, tomatoes, and cilantro.

 The kids loved it when we got out the Easter stuff yesterday!

Danny loves the great outdoors!

Spring?

 Why do all kids love making messes with spaghetti?

 Charlie likes to draw faces on his letters. Usually, they become people from our family or Heather's family. "This is Katie, and this is Uncle Austin..."

 Goopy eye after our Saturday walk = no church on Sunday.

 Paul saw these 2 deer on campus.

 The view on our Saturday walk straight uphill. 

 Poor sick worn out boy.

 Crepes with nutella and bananas!

 Danny loved them too!
