Our Tenth Week ~ 2014

Once again I didn't pick my camera up much last week.  Winter is long this year.  Motivation is low.  We did have a few days of spring-like weather - yesterday and today - but winter is expected to return tomorrow.  Hopefully it won't stay long.  Even with the spring-like temps, everything is ugly and gross.  Muddy.  Brown.  Covered in ick.  Perhaps that is why God sends the rain in spring.  To clean up all the gunk winter leaves behind.

 I did get out for my first run of the year today though.  The weather was gorgeous, so the boys, Honey, and I went for a run/walk down the road.  I was able to run two-minute intervals with one minute of walking in between.  Poor Honey is wiped out on the floor beside me though.  I probably should have worked her up to such a long journey.  :)

Most of the photos I took last week were already shared in my Scavenger Hunt post.  However there were a couple more that I didn't share yet.  

My friend, Melody, brought her baby boy over for photos on his 1-month birthday.  He was a little fussy so we didn't get as many as we would have liked, but we did get some sweet ones.  He's such a doll baby!

On March 1 I started a gluten-free eating plan to see if gluten is the cause of a few nagging symptoms that I always seem to deal with - allergies, headaches, etc.  So I have been spending more time in the kitchen experimenting with different recipes.  This particular day I created this berry dressing for on my salad.  It has some kick to it, but it is really good!

I spent a couple days at a conference at a local church, Friday Alex stayed home from school - even though they only had a half day - because he wasn't feeling well.  We had a Shrek movie marathon that afternoon/evening.  I was the last one standing when Shrek Forever After was finished.  :)  And Saturday evening was symphony night.  This time we dropped the boys at a friend's house and took Keira along.  She loved it and wants to go again next month.  The special guest is a violinist so I'm going to try to make that happen.

Oh, and on a totally unrelated note, the page views on my blog just exceeded 100,000!  How crazy is that!?!  I realize that I have a lot of repeat customers and for that I am grateful.  Thank you for your visits!  I really do appreciate each and every one!  Okay, I'm starting to sound like I'm writing an acceptance speech, so I'll end now.  :)

So that was my week in a nutshell.  Hope yours was a great one!
