It’s difficult to believe that summer has already passed and the boys are back at school. We had a delightful summer filled with vacations with family and friends, swimming, and hanging-out as a family. I do not, however, miss the 110 degree days. It is amazing how cool 90 feels since we were in the [...] Read more »
spring sports
This year both boys played soccer and only the youngest played baseball. The season was quite interesting since so many of the games were rained-out. Here are a few pics from the season. Read more »
flooding
Like much of the midsouth we’ve had a lot of rain over the past few days. Today the sun is finally out, but more rain is expected tonight. Yesterday I took my camera along when I went to pick up the boys from school. This is what I saw: This is at the bottom of [...] Read more »

We pulled weeds – Seriously, how weeds can grow when it is still freezing outside is beyond me – cut back the shrubs, and cleared the rest of the old growth. The “cleaning” gave the boys the opportunity to have a bonfire. They [...] Read more »
the recital
Friday night was recital night for the Springmann family. The recital was originally scheduled for early February, but it was cancelled because – yep, you guessed it, snow. J did pretty well…except his bowing is quite interesting. He forgot his resets and his brain knew something was off, so he tried to fix it the [...] Read more »
all clear…
Well, this week went by in a flash! I have to say, I’m pretty excited. My doctor gave me the green light to start exercising again. At Christmas I wrecked my foot either running on the snow or during “extreme” sledding. Uncle John and I threw the boys down a homemade sledding ramp in Grandma’s [...] Read more »
