Easter

has come and gone and the spring rains are finally here. Eric did an excellent job at the violin concert in D.C. See if you can spot him in this picture. He's the only boy with sandals on!
Here's the whole group of strings, about 500...look for them up in the balconies as well!
We had a great Easter...beautiful weather...clearing out the flower beds...airing out the camper...hunting for eggs...getting dressed up for church...and enjoying a Southern Maryland Stuffed Ham (Heather's first attempt at making one all by herself!)

Updates on the kids:

Leah is cruising around the house, so very close to walking, but still not there yet. She still prefers crawling. She is saying more words-bye bye, night night, num num, uh-oh, no; and she can sign several others-more, all gone, night night, bye bye. She loves her baby dolls and is either hugging them or chewing on their toes!

Bay is becoming more and more of a little man, although he still likes to be the baby when he can get away with it. He is talking in complete sentences and can often be heard saying, "I can fly! I am Buzz Lightyear. I come in peace!" He then proceeds to jump off the couch.

Eric is busy in school, learning lots about counting money in math, and telling time to the nearest 5 mintues. He continues to read avidly, and loves to play computer games with his dad.

The Mac Family Blog

Welcome to a page with updates about our family and things going on at our household. Recently, Leah just celebrated her 1st birthday, and Bay is getting ready to turn 3. He is very excited, and has asked for only one thing...a Buzz Lightyear toy! Eric is busy and right now very busy with getting ready for the Suzuki Violin String Festival in Bethesda, MD, this weekend. He will spend Saturday at workshops; then will perform in a concert at Strathmore Music Center http://www.strathmore.org/ with about 500 other violinists on stage playing the Suzuki repertoire. We are very proud of him. Look for upcoming photos from this big event!

As for adult news, Dennis is busy at getting our very own frisbee golf course set up right here on the family compound! If you don't know what frisbee golf is, you can check out this link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frisbee_golf. So far we only have 2 baskets, but will be slowly adding them as funds allow. He made the first basket, and has ordered the second off ebay. Ideally, he would like to find the rest either used or "free". If you ever come to visit, you'll have to play on our "front nine".http://personal.ecu.edu/dpm0904/home.html
