barrett: 130 months old

A bit late, but we're in spring break this week and every day feels like a Saturday!  Barrett has been plugging away at choir, and has not just a spring concert coming up, but also a performance at a college baseball game.  He's tired of the early-morning practices, but I know he'll feel proud seeing out this year, even if it's taught him that he does not want to do choir in junior high!

He also got a haircut!  Barrett's hair has been long and curly and so adorable, but he wanted a change, and I'm all for my kids choosing their own hairstyles.  He was not happy with it, as he detests change, but once he got used to it he's warming up to the shorter hair.  Like his mother, he'll probably grow it out just to cut it again in a few months!

He also had field day this month!  Barrett competed in the home run derby, the tire race, and a relay race.

The photos were taken on time, but alas, the post is late!  We've been so busy lately with LIFE that it feels like we're always playing catchup.  Britton has been busy with softball - she's got practice every day and games twice per week.  Plus, she has to stay after her games for the varsity games (they all ride the same bus) so she's home pretty late on game nights.  But she's been doing such a great job managing her time and staying on top of her schoolwork, even with the new packed schedule.  Last month Britton even made it to two concerts!  Ricky Montgomery and Olivia Rodrigo.  She loves live music, which she definitely inherited from me.  

Spring Break is next week and Britton's cousin Caroline is coming to visit!  We're showing her all things Houston, which will no doubt wear us all out, but we're committed to no early wake up times either.  I've taken the week off of work to cart everyone around, and I'm hoping I can sneak naps in.
