Photo dump

I just wanted to share a few photos of what we have been up to these past few weeks.  Mostly it's been the same stuff.  Soccer.  Ballet. Soccer. YW. Activity Days. Baseball.  School trips. 

 Brooks has had a rough few months with his asthma.  He has missed several days of school and has had multiple trips to the dr. office and one to the ER.  One time we were waiting a really really long time to see the dr.  and he drew this lovely picture.

 Once again I can't get over how amazing Alabama is in the springtime.  My azaleas are more full this year than ever before.  Thanks for the beautiful send off!

 I also got to go on a field trip last week with A's class to the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute.  Yesterday was the 50th anniversary of Dr.  ML King Jr. writing his famous Letter From Birmingham Jail.   I hope you will click on the link and read the letter.  I am grateful for people who stand up for what is right, even when it isn't popular.

 Rev. Shuttlesworth who was the leader of the civil rights movement here in Birmingham.

 Look at the all the beautiful and different skin colors in A's 4th grade. What a blessing.

 In her assignment after the trip A wrote that she was grateful for the civil rights movement because she would be sad if she couldn't go to school with Zoe.  Zoe has been a great friend to A and she is black.  I'm so glad to live now and for how far we've come, but we aren't there yet.

 This week I got to go with Brooks and the 2nd grade to the McWane Center.  Here he is waiting for the IMAX to start.  The IMAX dome is really cool but sometimes makes me dizzy.  I was really excited about it this time because I had minor laproscopic surgery last week to repair a hernia and I was tired and sore after a couple of hours chasing these guys around!

 We loved seeing the octopus being so active.
