Iowa

The Missouri River is near flood stage. I've been wanting to check out the Bob Kerry Pedestrian Bridge since it opened a few months after we moved here. We finally went today.

Baseball

We have had a miserably cold spring break. Still, it is spring and baseball season has begun!

Back on the bikes

Seems like the bikes and the kids get bigger every year. I don't have to wait for them anymore. After gifting  son with my fast hybrid bike, he dropped me in the wind like a hot potato (or a teenage boy and a middle-aged mom). Daughter is still a little kinder to me.

What happened to spring?

We had some fabulous weather, but then it changed - to this

This is my new favorite hot tea, and I need it in this weather!

Bear Repair

A couple of nights ago, Brynley was wanting to play with his purple bear. Brown teddy, city squirrel, or moo cow wouldn't do. It had to be purple bear. But purple bear had a problem, a hole in his head was losing stuffing.

No one knows how purple bear came to have a hole in the head.

Luckily, Daddy thought repairs could be made, and purple bear could be saved.

Brynley kept a close watch on the proceedings to make sure purple bear was well-cared for.

It was a happy moment when his purple bear could be returned.

Thanks, Dad!
