Ah, April ...

Oh how I love this month! April 15th has come and gone...sigh. Spring is in full bloom; we are surrounded by green. What's not to love, honestly.

Life in our house is surely in full swing too. Peter is taking a photography class and learning all about our camera. We miss so much of it's features without instruction. I can't wait to see what he will learn and pass along to the rest of us.

Speaking of learning, this is a photo that Miss Grace took of her Daddy :0)

 As for me? I've begun taking a Chinese class and it's fun! I truly expected to be lost right out of the gate but I'm not! Our class is so engaging and our teacher is amazing. Each person has a unique reason for wanting to learn the language, we are quite a diverse group. My hope is that I can get a bit of a head start before Miss Grace begins Chinese School in the Fall. We will see...

I'm happy to report that our hard-working Ryon has made a full recovery from his tonsillectomy. He has a new job too. He's driving a taxicab. It's been a few weeks now and he is keeping very busy. He's even earned bragging rights by being the highest earner of all drivers last week. He is still working at the restaurant as well. Now that's a way to stay out of trouble, LOL!

Ross has been working hard in school and on the lacrosse field as well. The team is doing extremely well and is expected to go the the State Sectionals. We will see.

Miss Grace too has been busy. She was selected as Student of the Month for showing good character of Servanthood. For those that know her this is no surprise.

For fun she has been taking riding lessons at a local stable. Though it's fun, she takes it very seriously and is learning a lot.

Oh what I would have given to be in her shoes at that age! Life is good.

Livin' the dream,
