April was crazy, but thankfully May looks like it will be a relaxing month and a time to catch up. Honestly, it is so hard to get things done with two small children. I had dreams of starting our garden this year, but we would have to clear out our yard, and we just didn't have time to work on it. I really hope we get it going next year. In January, we watched a documentary called Food, Inc, and since then we have been trying to make better decisions about what we eat. I am happy to say, we are doing really well on this goal. We joined a CSA where we get a box of produce from a local organic farm once a week- last week we ate all sorts of new things. We have also been buying milk from our local dairy. I have been making all of our bread and other baked goods from scratch as well. I think this is about the only thing I am succeeding in at the moment. This week we are also taking a break from web surfing and TV. I am totally addicted to both. In my spare time all I want to do is be entertained or do some sort of mindless activity. The first night was pathetic. I didn't even know what to do with my time. Then, I made a list of goals for the week, and I am actually accomplishing a lot of them. Last night I read a book and then just hung out with Brian for a while.
And the greatest thing going on at the moment is that my parents are moving to Raleigh. We are so excited to be closer to them. We already have them scheduled to babysit, so we can go see Wicked this week. We have not been out since February!
Here are a few pictures of the girls. Hannah is finishing up her second year of pre-school. She loves her class and all of her friends there. She loves singing and being silly with her daddy. Charis is just so much fun. The only word she says is "Hi", but she babbles and pretends to talk all the time. She also likes to just spin in circles and fall down. It is hillarious.
That's it for now.
