Spring is here!

Yahoo!!!

The grass is coming in, the yarrow is peeking out and spring is in the air.

It's spring at 8,000 feet, so it's on and off - but the grass says it's mainly on.

The girls are playing more and more together.

And Piper is getting some serious use out of her Cheshire Cat costume.

Some friends passed on a most awesome castle. It is very popular with Miss Moo. Who's vocabulary has exploded. She keeps up in conversation.

She's scary.

Operation Slow the Heck Down!!

The girls are helping get Gama Les' etsy shop up and going.

Piper is growing up so fast. They both are, but Piper is swiftly moving into kid realm. 

But with building a house, owning a business, and the multitude of other things Josh has going on at all times - it caught up with him. And scared the crap out of me. 

2 days after his stroke.

4 days after his stroke.

Piper doesn't mind the recovery time at all.

He's up and better and taking it easy far earlier than expected. 

But some life shifts are on the horizon. 

Warm enough here the bees aka the girls came out to assess the coming spring.

This is one of Piper's teachers at circus school.

She seriously loves the silks.

Lots of walks and some diet changes (although his blood pressure is 114/72 these days). No food on the go, no more jumping to every project on the table. I'm relieved this lesson was so mild.

And so are his two sweet little girls!

Our little acrobat

Ah yes, life marches on. 

Although our life involves quite a few head stands.

Piper continues to love her circus school

She cracks me up with her at home improvising.

Speaking of crack up.

Josh made Piper a trapeze bar for over her bed.

And tried it out himself.

That's me under all those blankets and towels. If I attempt to lay on the couch during the day (I was on my second cold) Moxie instigates "put Mama to bed"

Big progress at school!

She's so proud, I am too!

The look on her face on this one is too much.
