Alex is doing track & field this year (athlétisme en français). His first meet (competition) is in Gardner with other high schools. While Alex is learning the technique, Maman is learning the lingo.
 |
| Waiting with the other 2 East pole vaulters. |
| Alex reached 7'6". That's awesome for a beginner! |
| He passed 8'6" but the bar fell. Oh well... |
| 100-meter sprint. Go, Alex! |
Jelly Bean, aka Bean, aka the original Squishmallow turns 4 today. Happy birthday, Bean!

Sophie got braces. She didn't really want anything to do with this. So we had to get some pastries to make her life sweeter for a day.
 |
| Archie is comforting Sophie while she gets used to her new braces. |
 |
| Maman found frozen pastry dough way in the back of the freezer. Papa had to make millefeuilles and berry pastries. |
 |
| Plus the bakery's croissants & mochi donuts helped quite a bit. |
 |
| No one is complaining about this situation anymore... |
Beautiful first weekend of March. So great to have the windows open all day. Take a walk. Eat outside. And have Squishmallows get some exercise by jumping on the trampoline.
 |
| First Sunday lunch outdoors. Archie was so excited for sauerkraut. |
 |
| Cleaned up the trampoline for fun ahead. |
 |
| Three boys wanted to get out: Mango, Archie & Liam. |
 |
| Sophie can jump so high! |
| The boys are out jumping with Sophie |
Sophie was so excited to go to her band concert that she forgot her music and instrument... Thank goodness for big brother Alex (and Kermit) to the rescue. This arrangement may have cost Sophie $5 or allowing Alex to sleep one night with Archie. Guess which one she chose!
 |
| Band I 7th graders ready for a great concert. |
 |
| Wait, does Sophie have her music now?!? |
| "Pride of Parade" |
| "Primeval Stormfront" |
| "Spy Games" |
