Leo had a great time this Easter with his cousins up at Eric's parents. The weather was really nice that day and he got a great haul during the traditional egg hunt.
Also I thought it would be fun to post a couple pics from Leo's 1st Easter - I really get it that I'm not objective, but good grief we made a cute kid!
We are pretty busy most days & evenings, especially as we approach the Summer Solstice, which I traditionally honor with working out in the garden and being grateful for the season until it's fully dark. I love walking thru the garden this time of year and seeing all my hardworking plants pushing up and getting bigger after a long winter, THAT'S the audacity of hope for me - that and having children.
Things are going well and I feel like I am turning a corner with my running. I am still running 3 times a week for 2-3 miles, but I feel like with all the work I have been doing to shore up the issues with my flat feet and anemia, things are finally coming together and I will be able to progress instead of struggling to maintain like I have been. I've started working with a physical therapist who is helping me deal with some of my mechanical issues to make my stride and posture while running more natural and officiant and am really grateful I chased seeing him (though it's not covered by my insurance and that is REALLY starting to suck).
I haven't been able to fly in the last few weeks, it's been really windy when I had chances to go out the Hutch where the plane is, but I hope to fly Sunday if the planets align for me.
Eric and Leo are doing OK. We are readdressing our daycare situation to try to save money and may try to find a family member or stay-at-home-mom or mom who needs 2nd shift babysitting to trade kid watching with us. I'm not sure if it will work out, but I'm just throwing that desire out into the universe for now and seeing what happens. Leo is working for $ when he can and toiling patiently for me in the farm-garden, for which I am very grateful; it's nice to have the muscle and the company.
That's it for now, wishing readers all the best.
Ellen, Eric & Leo
