March AND April?

I'm not even going to say it...so here are some updates from March and April together (since I'm so delinquent).

March:

We had a rough month in March. Kenny's Mom passed away on March 19th, and it seems like that month was full...and sad. We are so thankful to have had her near us for the past three years. We had several of Kenny's siblings come and stay with us in March, to visit Mom.

The day after Mom died, we took off to spend a day in our favorite place...Capitola. It was good to go, and spend the day together as a family. We were all sad, and to take that day to reflect and remember Mom/Grandma was a balm for all of us. A day at the ocean is worth a week anywhere else.

Also in March, Nathan and Tim both did their Certificate of Merit for Piano. They both passed with honors, and were asked to play in the Honors Recital. Nathan also received his "Senior Medallion" for participating in Certificate of Merit 3 of 4 years in High School (and he passed with Honors all three years!). We're very proud of their accomplishments, and thankful for the musical gift that God has given to them both.

Tim finished his Speech Class in March as well...and we enjoyed an evening of presentations from all four students in the class.

April:

Isn't quite over yet....but we had a nice, and relatively quiet month. Easter was fun; we had some friends over on Easter Sunday after church. We also colored eggs and had our annual egg hunt/scavenger hunt. Kenny wrote out the clues this year...they were HARD!! Here's an example:

Precise vibrational frequencies at well ordered intervals, in logical order, produce pleasant feelings.

And the kids had to figure out what this is? I don't think I ever figured it out....haha!

We had our annual Pastor's Conference at our church as well, and that's always a great week. Hearing good preaching, and seeing old friends...good times.

May is coming...our 'birthday month' with three of the six of us having birthdays in May. Does time fly by to everyone else, or is it just me??

Until next time.....
