Kids checking the weather out our bedroom window.  :)

Decorating "clover crowns" at the library. 

Trialed a new hatha & flow practice for beginners today and LOVED it!  I love trialing these from the library.  This is going on my Amazon wish list. 

First time using a belt/strap in practice and wishing I'd started sooner!  It's awesome!! 

Slight improvement in one week in my standing forward fold.  Better form and slight improvement to spine posture.  I'm practicing! 

This is one of my least favorite poses so far cause I feel so weak and shaky in it.  I have a lot of core and back strengthening work to do!  I'm no where near straightening my legs up at a 45.  Yoga practice is so humbling!! 

Crushing graham cracker crumbs for the dessert we're making. 

UFC 158:  GSP vs Nick Diaz.  The usual gang is over to watch the fights. 

Brutus... just chillin'. 

Warrior 2, Peaceful Warrior and Tree.  Need to square my hips a bit... 

Playing with lotus pose and a lift.  For now, I can only do lotus with the right leg on top.  My left hip is far more open than my right.  ??? 

The boy's got some upper body strength! 

First day of spring coming up and these cold temps are still making me crave "fall food".  Diced squash & apples for a sweet autumn chicken dish this week. 

Reading all 11 of our newest library books on Sunday afternoon. 

Monday was a scarf-wearing kind of day... Keeps the chillies out.  Come on, spring! 

Enjoying our weekly library stack.  A few have been added to birthday wish lists.  :) 

This is the 2nd and 3rd borrowing of these respective books.  LOVE them both and Sophie will likely be opening them next month on her birthday!   

First attempt at mermaid pose.  I've got a ways to go. 

Scenes from my morning practice.  No fancy shmancy... just some basics as I work through Surya Namaskara A.  Working on my hand-to-feet spacing in down dog. 

Chaturanga and upward facing dog.  Need to make my arms 90 in chaturanga. 

Handsomest boys I know... watching March Madness!!  After a particularly impressive dunk, Will said "that was epic!"  Haha!  Where does he get this stuff?
