Springtime in Louisville...sports & sunshine!

Dean just wrapped up his first season on the YMCA 3 year old Purple Panthers basketball team, and loved every Saturday game which started way to early, but was full of fun. Now it is Bella's turn to play soccer, the sport she's been waiting to try out! The first game overwhelmed her a little, but she loves practice and the chance to see her friends on the field :) Now that spring had finally graced us with her presence signs of life are popping up in my garden. Both my children take after mommy in their enthusiasm about all things growing. Just today Dean yelled, "Mom, come see something beautiful"...then he attempted to turn my Hellebores right side up almost ripping them off to show me the flower. He is my little helper, always wanting to lend a hand whether needed or not :) and such a little athlete already.
We have a big trip to Florida planned for spring break to see Granny & Gramps (can't wait), then the celebration of Dean's 4th birthday, then Aunt Shar & Cousin Aiden's visit for Easter to look forward to! As the days get warmer, then chilly again, we have the beauty of spring to look forward to and all it's possibilities! I am so lucky & proud of the adorable, smart and adventurous kids I have. Both are social little happy creatures (for the most part:) who love thier friends (like their mommy) and each other which warms my heart!!! With each new season my love grows for these two little kids. Oh & a shoutout to Dean for FINALLY being done with all things diapers or pullups. About a month ago he decided to be a "BIG BOY" and wear underwear to bed. I just recycled my last Huggies box & gladly say goodbye to that stage of life!!!
