We've had the most amazing spring at the farmhouse.  Some big rains, bird watching on our back covered porch, and listening to the green frogs, bull frogs and peepers.  Playing at the pond and spotting newts, frogs and crayfish has been very fun too.  However, our days there are over.  We have moved into a new house in a new community.  Making another short-term move was almost enough to make me cry, but this house will work better for us.  We're in a smaller and more efficient house now with no yard.  It's in the woods.  But, I kind of like that.  And lucky for us, it's all fun and exciting for Ethan and Leif.  Pictures to come.

 Lots of frogs and newts in the pond outside our back door.

 Ethan is playing t-ball with some of his school friends.  It is a very sweet group.  They have games, but don't keep score and only run one base at a time, and no one is ever out.




 We went to the Waldorf School's Mayfest celebration.  Leif preferred to walk inside the circle of the maypole dance.


 Ethan got to see his friend Arianne again.  They spent a lot of time at the pond.

Arianne's family invited us to their friend's farm where Ethan got to ride in a horse-pulled wagon ride.  He and his new friend Maddy then got to pretend being the horse pulling the little wagon.
