Still Here!!

Spring Break happened.  Easter happened.  T-ball season started.  And yet, my blog has remained updatedless.  I keep forming updates in my head, but timing has not been on my side.

How about some picture updates?

It was a staycation for Spring Break, but we did have some friends visit!

For Easter the Goodhue Gang came to celebrate! But the camera was severely lacking in it's appearance. 

Courtesy of me, Tom is the head coach for Violette and Max's T-ball team, which held it's opening day on April 26th.  They continue to have games every Tuesday and Thursday.  Both are very proud of their Dad coaching and seem to be enjoying their inaugural year in TALL (Tecumseh Area Little League).  Violette is rather small and her hits do not travel far, but she gives it her all and has picked up the fundamentals of throwing and fielding very well.  Max smacks the ball far and continues to show glimpses of true natural ability (as commented on by a fellow coach who also played college baseball).  He gets frustrated easily if his hitting is not up to par or if he makes an error.  Many tears have already been shed, but he is learning that it's okay to make mistakes, as long as you try your best and enjoy playing.  

Noelle joined running club and runs on Tuesday's and Thursday's as well.  She isn't sure how she likes it, but we have told her that "Roehrig's don't quit and you have to finish the season".  After each practice she is all smiles and very proud of her accomplishment of making it through practice!  

Our house was given a face lift a few weeks ago.  The porch was cemented along with the sidewalks, and our porch columns and railings were added.  The transformation was amazing!  We are still waiting on shutters for the first floor windows and for our front door to be painted.  Also, we are waiting on the driveway to be put in and then we can start the daunting task of having sprinklers put in along with grass seed.  

That's all for now!  We are alive and well!!
