spring fever/senioritis

when i was a senior in high school, i won a superlative for senioritis (of orchestra,
i know, lame, whatever!) anyway...........
now that toby's in school, i'm getting a solid case of senioritis/spring fever. i just can't wait for school to get out! i'm not following through very well on homework or other ridiculous paperwork from school- i just wanna play and enjoy the awesome weather!!

we've all been really enjoying our new bikes and baby trailer. we are quite the sight riding around all over- to walgreens, dinner, school, our favorite yogurt shops, etc. it's super fun! and matthew has taken to having a more challenging ride on his own in the mornings, too. his tummy is melting away......boys! i've started working out again. well, i've started zumba-ing again. i love it! it's so fun, and i get a good workout in while channeling my former pommie glory.

we had a lovely easter- both sides of the family over for lunch, followed by an egg hunt. i got to sing a solo(!) with the phoenix symphony(!) on may 5th. i got to wear a dress, take a bow, and have my own dressing room!! i will never forget that experience!! i found out i am gonna be joining the arizona opera chorus- actual pay for singing- not much, but more than nothing. we shared a nice mother's day, with a fabulous breakfast at tc eggington's. looking forward to 2 more phoenix symphony chorus concert weeks, featuring rachmaninoff and mendelsohn.

then, summer vacation!!!!!!!! we're in the planning stages just now. thanks for checking in. see you again soon!

Tia,
I've so enjoyed being married to you for 12 wonderful years. It's been a joy and adventure and certain the best years of my life.

I can't wait for school to get out either. We're going to take a much deserved and long-overdue vacation.

Don't sweat the homework, there are plenty of successful people who didn't do well academically. Toby is supersharp and will no doubt do well in his life.

My tummy? Well, it's going down a little, not sure about melting away. I need to watch my eating habits - I sure love sweets!
