It’s been a busy but fun winter. We spent Christmas here with Grandma Gail and the Standley’s. Finn was fun to play with. The kids and I went to Minneapolis over spring break and stayed with Grandma Gail and Leah and Harold. Leah is due with a girl in August! We spent time with Mel and her boys, Tami and her boys, and Christine. For Easter, we stayed at home and I made ham and mom’s creamy cheesy hashbrowns. Doug wanted a pecan pie and the kids wanted too much of their Easter candy.
I arranged for an impromptu egg hunt, and it was nice to have all the neighbors together–everyone saying how it’s weird that we don’t know each other very well! Maybe this summer I can plan a barbeque.
I’ve been teaching BodyFlow and BodyStep at a new gym, Racquet Club. We all love it. Connor and Val took swimming lessons there this winter, and Ava has made some little girl friends in the junior gym. I love that the kids get exercise when we’re there.
Dawn is being induced tomorrow — we’ll soon have a new niece or nephew!
