Spring is well under way. The proof is in the vroooom vroooom.

Roxie got hit and killed by a car near our house today. It was a gorgeous morning, and I let the dogs out into the side yard to sit in the sun. Roxie wandered off, following her nose, without me noticing.
By the time I found her it was too late. I’m not sure I’ll ever forgive myself.
Yesterday morning, Beckett did a little stamping with his alphabet stamp set. And then something amazing happened. He took each one of the stamps that he had scattered around the table, and carefully matched them up with their slot in the stamp case, and put them all in perfect order.
It took quite a few minutes for him to match up all 26 letters plus the punctuation marks. And he looked over it and corrected a couple of mistakes before he closed the case, and quietly took it back to the junk drawer in the kitchen where it lives. What a great accomplishment.
He also made his own buttered toast from start to finish with no help the very same morning.
You can see Skye in the background trying to use her Jedi mind trick to open the door.
