The final harvest and other signs of Spring!


The last "load" of oranges that Anthony was able to get from the very tops of the trees today! They are sooooo good and we'll be looking forward to next year! Although the awesome smelling blossoms are the next thing we get to look forward to. Too bad I can't share that on the blog.




Nicole climbed the ladder and got a few when she was over on Saturday, too.


Braden learned how to make fresh squeezed orange juice. He loves the orange trees and will be sad when there aren't anymore that he can ask for when he's outside playing. His, and our, vitamin C consumption definitely went up since the move!


Braden went to a Spring Training game with Mimi and Poppa and really liked this baseball.


He loves his Mimi and Poppa!


He spotted the train at the Spring Festival at our local elementary school! It was a fun event and Braden played a couple of games (fishing - check out his form in the video below, sand digging...) and won some prizes. We are really excited about the fact that the elementary and middle schools are 4 streets away. And the fun neighborhood park!


Riding the train...


Watching the train...

Watching the big boys play basketball.

He gave it a bunch of good tries to get that big ole basketball in the basket! I'm guessing it will be pretty easy for him one of these days!


Then he decided to settle for the swing.
I think Daddy will be proud of his early fly fishing skills!
