2012 Spring Farm Activities

The spring has arrived and am sorry to say my posts have been lagging. In fact its been over 2 months... I guess I have writer's block for the blog... dissapointing as it might be I can give a couple of updates ...

Ski season ended with a trip to Killington with NY friends  Jackie and Chris and my vt friend Kevin.. with the help of Jackie and an Apple app we tracked how long we skied. amazingly it was over 12,000 vertical and a top speed of 35 mph.. who would have guessed. Chris had us all over the mountain. Henry finished his season on his birthday and then had a great 6th birthday with his friends at Bolton bouncy and Aimee was up to her old tricks with a "Angry Bird " Cake... .. Its hard to believe he is 6 and we are enjoying watch him grow up and look forward to every question he has (well maybe not some ) BTW if you've got any tricks to deter a 6 year old from ipad games... send them my way...

The end of march also had a trip to MA to celebrate Betsy's birthday and some fun times with Amma
April was busy as we headed to Peterborough for Easter at Betsy's in Peterborogh .. We enjoyed a great meal with the entire family along with a celebration for Willa's 2nd birthday aong with Aimee's latest "Winnie the Pooh " cake ..



Later in April Aimee headed to Portsmouth NH with her old college friends for a "girls weekend" .. From what I am told the "old" gals behaved themselves as there was no sign of police activity ... Phew... those Holy cross girls can get crazy.

Andrew spent some time in Andover with Amaa and celebrated her birthday along with Betsy and Mark... We upgraded amma's tv to a modern flat screen... .Amma now can get her favorit CSI in HD anytime!

Andrew's work has been very busy with trips to FL ,MD,Indiana,Boston (2) and Utah..... I am finally starting to understand why these people who travel for a living care about their frequent flyer status...

May brought the arrival of the HIldabrands for a week . They had a great time with the kids and we enjoyed mother's day together.

My golf game has gotten off to a good start with over 4 rounds in... Old age hasn't caught up yet as I had some great rounds with friends at Vermont national..

On the house.. we are finally finishing the "land of fruits and vegatbles " as "regrading III" occured and I replanted the apple trees for the 3RD TIME
We also added a new farm toy for the kids...The arrival of a John Deere kids gator has been great fun but also a source of some discussion regarding who rides with who ... ah  what fun


Hope all is well with you ...
