Avery was quite sick for a while, as were we all with a nasty bone-aching flu. But luckily, he got better in time for Living History Day at Sutter's Fort in Sacramento. Rain was expected, but we got gorgeous spring instead! He was quite chatty (going back twice) with the guys at the covered wagon, and really loved the fire in the blacksmith's forge. We got to watch the smith make a mini horseshoe. Our wee mannie also got to dip candles which he thought was really neat. Avery is also writing: He wrote 'too' after I wrote 'too much' on the chalkboard, and he did it of his own volition! And it was legible!
Curran is cruising like a pro and going up steps (when he has good enough incentive like "oh look! someone left the baby gate open!). I tried to take a picture of the curls at the back of his head, which are usually much more properly curled than this photo shows. The other picture is him exploring during our picnic at the elementary school next door to us. Aric and Avery both nearly fell asleep in the warm lovely sun.
In other news, Aric is very busy applying for jobs/calls. Several have already contacted him back, wanting more info from him. He's also dead busy being unofficial minister of his intern church (since the actual minister left for another position). Holy week here as been crazy for him! And no, we don't know where we will end up. He is applying everywhere that sounds like it has a good position.

Why is it women are obsessed with the curls on the backs of baby boys heads??? - Yes, they're cute, but he's a boy. (note: this coming from a grown man who like the curls on the back of his own head)
Fort Sutter sound really cool. I wonder if the blacksmith was the same blacksmith that used to tour the ren fairs? He's the only real blacksmith I know in the area.
Aric: we had a lovely chat last night. Apply to many, apply often... the more things you throw out there, the more chances are something will stick (and I'll pray that something on the East coast comes through since that looks like where Mom and I will be heading - and possibly Clarice).
So sorry for the endless flu!!, but glad to hear you are all getting back to normal! Can't wait to see Easter pics!!
Ooooh! The boys look soooo cute!
I cant belive it! The whole family seems like your busy, but doing really well. Send lots of love and cuddles to those boys. Remember to make time for yourself to breath slowly and listen to silence. Send love to the Andersons as well.
Keep the cute pictures comming.
=) xxxxxxxxxxxx

I don't think the curls are all that, I just thought you guys might like to know that they're there! BTW, cool pic!
@Clarice
Thanks for the reminder to breathe.
