Happy April!!
Nothing too new to report this month. Kids are happy and healthy and keep mom and dad on their toes. Spring sprung right after we came back from Florida, the end of March. And with the exception of a few chilly days, we have had beautiful weather. So the boys LOVE playing outside. Michael in particular could stay outside all day. In fact, most mornings that is his first request, before breakfast or anything..."Mommy, can we get dressed and play outside"? So that is how I spend many of my days. But I'm certainly not complaining. In fact, I wish spring would last a little longer. It won't be long before we have very HOT days. And a lot of them. But that is when Grandma and Grandpas pool will come in handy this year.
Jeff celebrated a birthday a few days ago. He has eased into his 30's quite nicely. Doesn't seem to bother him. I'm not looking forward to it at all. But the boys keep us young. Our nephew Cameron's birthday is just two days after Jeff's. So we all got together this past weekend to celebrate. A good excuse to get together and have cake and ice cream anyways. Jeff's parents were in town also. Our niece Lauren became quite ill and had to be hospitalized this past week for four days. So they came down to help Mark and Chana out. Fortunately, I am happy to report Lauren is home and healthy. She had a very severe case of dehydration. And after a few days of IV therapy, she has bounced back to the cuddly and happy girl we all know. But she scared us all for a few days.
My parents also payed us a quick visit. They were on their way back to Ohio from being snowbirds in Florida. They'll be back down this weekend too. My youngest sister Lindsay is graduating from College. So we'll have a house full this weekend. But we're looking forward to it.
