Megan's Last Spring Break

Megan is finishing up with her last college classes. Soon, she'll start her year of clinicals for PA school. That means this is her last spring break, and thankfully she chose to spend it with us! We had awesome weather for her and lots of fun little things to do. 

Megan and I went to a Paint Your Pets class. 

Luke, Megan, and I went downtown and found all the mice on Main Street.

Megan, Jack, Luke, and I went to see Zootopia.

We took the kids to the park by Jack's school and let them play on the playground for awhile and hiked down to see the waterfalls.

Megan and I also did quite a bit of shopping. So fun! It was nice to just hang out with one of my favorite people. On Friday morning, after I'd taken Megan to the airport, Luke woke up and said, "I wish we could hear Megan's voice today..." And it wasn't long before Jack was saying he missed her too. We love you, Meggie! 

My Birthday Present

Jack's Wax Museum Project

Jack has been really excited about his Wright Brothers school project. Today I went and visited the wax museum. I heard the stories of lots of famous Americans. The kids were all very excited about this project.

Luke and Winston

Luke has always been our animal lover. He can't pass a dog in the neighborhood without asking its owner if he can pet it. He has kitty cats he likes to take a walk just to visit. There's a dog named Maggie in the neighborhood who we walk down to see just so he can toss her the ball a few times. And then there's Winston who gets Luke's second hug every morning. I still get the first! Luke and I have been retraining Winston to fetch the newspaper this week. Luke's delight every time Winston brings the paper back is heartwarming. May he always know the value of the love of a good dog. 

Jack's Birthday Party

We had Jack's birthday party on Saturday afternoon. It was so much fun to see him enjoy his time with his buddies. Thanks to Grandpa, Grandma, and Aunt Annie for making the trip out to share the day with him. If you click on Jack's 7th Birthday Party in the top left corner, the video will enlarge so it isn't cut off. I don't know why it does that. Irritating....
