Happiness is....Tennis!




There are moments when the running around, washing of uniforms, purchasing of tennis balls and sorrow and or happiness of matches feels endless but regardless I love to watch Alec play! His high school team, Eldorado Eagles, did extremely well this year. He played a tournament last weekend and won both his matches but the flight didn't win enough to advance to the third level BUT two other flights for Eldorado went on to win the city tournament! Despite what Alec thinks he is an amazing player and is fun to watch. Here are some pictures a dad on the team took....he is an amazing photographer!

Happiness is....Spring Break!



How could spring break NOT bring happiness? Every year we make this a 'family time' together. It works out perfect especially because Ted teaches so he is off and the kids are out of school. This year we went to Conchas Lake just east of Santa Rosa. It was absolutely beautiful! Clean campgrounds, peaceful surroundings, and nice blue lake! We were able to canoe the second day but high winds prevented us from going out the third. Instead we hung out and played at a park they have and checked out the massive dam. We will be returning when the weather gets warmer...btw...we were wearing capris for weeks before we went then a day into our trip it got cold...geez, New Mexico weather is weird! It didn't stop us from having fun!
