It's been a wet wet spring. Which I don't mind. All the trees are getting established well. The blueberry bush and evergreen Magnolia are not liking it though. They seem sickly from all the water. But everything else is looking very green and healthy and it's been nice to see all the work from planting those trees last fall come forth. There is still much to do with the yard, but it's been fun to enjoy it so far.
We also went to Salem for Jamir's P.E. test. It rained quite a bit. I watched the boys all day and it was a long, wet day. We stayed in the hotel as long as we could before Danny couldn't handle not napping (he doesn't nap well anywhere outside his crib). We ventured to multiple parks, rode the indoor carousel, wandered the library and got very wet. I'm glad our long road trips are over for a while.
