Past a busy week!

Hello all!
Just thought I would get on and catch up from this last week. It was a busy one for us.
Monday the kids were off from Easter. Since it was cold, we stayed inside and worked on birthday cards for all the April birthdays we know. We watched movies and read books.
Tuesday I subbed at Hannah's preschool in the class I will be teaching next year. The 3 year olds. It was really fun. Brought back so many memories from my Antioch days. (sure do miss all that)
Tuesday night was Nathan's t-ball sign up. So, we braved the cold rain to get that done. Nathan is pumped and ready to play. Wednesday was grocery day, so Chris and I braved the weather to do that. The huge box we got at Aldi's got wet and we busted a bottle of grape juice on our sidewalk on the way in. It is so stained. I knew grape juice stained, but not like that.
The kids and I had a relaxed night and went to bed early.
Thursday was Hannah's kindergarten roundup. So, we spent the morning doing fun things with her, because I wanted the day to be about her. Well, Brett quit his job, so I needed to watch Abram that afternoon while he did some applications. We got to the roundup a little early, and she must have been nervous and tired because it didn't go nearly as well as we had hoped, considering that was all she could talk about. She decided she didn't want to go to the gym with the other kindergartners. We decided later that she probably thought that she was missing out and that Nathan and us were doing something fun.
It escalated and the night finished with her being the last one to get supper and not being able to finish it because they were closing down the cafeteria.
Hopefully the year won't be so stressful.
Friday was school and Chris was off, so we hit cleaning and organizing storage. It is so nice to know where to find stuff back there. Still more to sort, but in a possible way now.
Saturday was a friend of Hannah's birthday party. it was the first one she has ever been to, so she was scared. By the end of it, she had come out of her shell and was playing nicely. it was a fun party. Carson wanted to do pirates, so they all had black plastic cups on their hands with aluminum foil coming out of the top in a hook shape. They ate a nutty bar cake to look like a treasure chest. She had a good time.
Today, it was nice outside, for once, so after all 3 services at church, we ate sandwiches and played outside all day. We came in and had supper, read some books and went to bed.
That brings us to now.
This week looks like not much, so that is nice. Chris has a dentist appointment tomorrow, and is off Wednesday. He is hoping to go fishing for the first time this year.

As a final, if you could keep a couple things in prayer:
-Our friends, Mark and Rachel Bond- His dad passed away this week: was a christian, praise the Lord, but it will be hard to say good-bye and for the little ones understanding
-Grandpa leach- found out that he has an aneuryism on his spine, not sure about if it is operable or not.
Hope everyone is well and doing fine.
All our love!

I hope you get the chance to go fishing Chris, and Hannah, I hope Kindergarden is full fo fun surprises that make you smile more than ever. Nathan, hit a home run for me in you season opener! Angel, it has been awhile Bu I pray your opportunities with teaching continue to open up as time allows. God bless you all!
