Week 38 :: The blooms on this tree in our yard come once a year and last about a week. Mother Nature’s reminder to stop and appreciate. Done, Mom.

52 Pick-Up :: Week 37
Week 37 :: His brother’s skateboard. But he rides it like it’s his own. XGames… look out.
52 Pick-Up :: Week 36
Week 36 :: It seems the flowers burst out of nowhere this past week. Colors of pink, purple, yellow and spring green are everywhere. I guess those April showers really work.
52 Pick-Up :: Week 35
Week 35 :: Spring cleaning the basement leads to lots of chaos. But we are able to take a moment and smell the roses… or watch the bouncing ball.
52 Pick-Up :: Week 33
Week 33 :: We’ve lived in this house for about eight years. Every spring, this one hyacinth pokes its head out of the ground and says hello. Then, it gets broken by big dog paws or picked by little hands or crushed by getting-bigger-all-the-time boy feet. It never gets a chance to bloom properly. Cross…
52 Pick-Up :: Week 32
Week 32 :: We put in this swing-set when my eight-year-old was two. The kids still love it. Even though I’d like to retire it this year to landscape and plan our yard to be a little more “us”, I don’t see that happening. The swing-set is about as “us” as anything can be.
52 Pick-Up :: Week 31
Week 31 :: The collective hope of no more flakes this season is so powerful. When the weather warmed up for a few days a couple weeks ago, it was as if everyone had won a super prize or had gotten lucky. Stop being a tease, Spring. Let’s get it on.
52 Pick-Up :: Week 30
Week 30 :: I think we’ve been in our backyard once since December. The snow was too deep to trek through and this poor hammock (which should have probably wintered inside) has been covered in snow. But it’s been ridiculously warm here for the past week… So, it must be hammock-climbing, mud season.
52 Pick-Up :: Week 29
Week 29 :: When I don’t plan to run with Scout, my 5-year-old and I take her on a hike before he goes to PM K. Hiking always seems to equal running (for him.) I sometimes think that I should just run everywhere like he does.
52 Pick-Up :: Week 28
Week 28 :: He was so proud to climb this tree. Can you see his sense of accomplishment? A simple moment that makes me proud too.
