Spring in Boulder

Spring seems to have arrived! There are signs of life in the garden...the weather is pretty consistently nice and spring break (a weeks holiday from school) is not far off.
Jonathan has finally got through the layers of beaurocracy and is getting moe work done. Maja has had her first report from school! Happily she seems to be doing ok although they haven't fully realised that she is a genius yet! She has had a playdate with Cy and has started swimming and piano lessons. Her life is quite full but her favourite thing to do is hang out with the neighbourhood children at the park (this happens every day that the weather is nice)
I have discovered a fabulous running route thanks to my running partner Jen. It is Wonderland Lake, a gorgeous lake nestling in the foothills. Jen has assured me that if I run there alone I am not likely to be eaten by a mountain lion. Apparently they are a lot more prevalent in South Boulder. Anyway I know what to do if I see one. You have to make yourself big and fierce!!!!!! Some people here say lions are around and about and come into town...others say that they have lived in Boulder for years and never seen one!
