Hiatus

Sorry, my dear readers (all two of you, myself included), for the recent hiatus. We had the most glorious stretch of sunny, springtime weather and I could not be bothered to update a silly blog when the sun was beckoning us to come and play.

We enjoyed the weather with outdoor book-time, eating al fresco, and even skipping naptimes to maximize our Vitamin D intake. The weather was just what we needed after a very dreary March.

On Saturday, after a morning jog in the sunshine, we went to a Patty Party in honor of Aunt Patty's 60th birthday. Just what is a Patty Party, you ask? Well, every morsel of food was in the form of a patty: crabby patties (crab cakes), risotto patties (risotto cakes), peppermint patties, and more. The patties were delectable, the party was so lively and it was a great tribute to Aunt Patty. Cousin Kara did an amazing job organizing the bash, and deserves an award for throwing such an amazing extravaganza with two (yes two!) 10-month-old babies.

On Sunday, Curtis participated in a mountain bike race and won his division by a whopping six minute margin. Afterward, he questioned whether he might have missed some of the poorly-marked course to achieve his victory, but the race officials gave him the honor in spite of his vocalization.

Now, sadly, the overcast, drizzly weather has returned. It's a good thing we kept all of our long sleeves in the drawers... we knew the sunshine was only temporary. But it sure was wonderful while it lasted!
