Spring Break Trip

The boys and I had a great time in Montana last week.  We really enjoyed spending time with our family.  I couldn't ask for better travel partners.  Justin wasn't able to make it because of work and teaching responsibilities, but we'll be back this summer with him in tow.

Here are some of the highlights (and then a flood of pictures, of course):

*We visited a new park each day with Grandpa Bill.  The boys thought this was great and it successfully burned up lots of energy.

*We enjoyed going to Easter service with all four grandparents.  Such a blessing!

*We made a trip to the bookstore with Grandpa Michael and Grandmanette and also enjoyed a movie night with them.

*We visited Aunt Megan at the hospital where Grandma Pam had some surgery.  The boys got to see Aunt Megan in her nursing gear and also got special stuffed animals from the surgery center.  I'm also happy to report that Grandma Pam is making a full recovery and all the pathology reports came back clear.  Stage 1 Melanoma is serious stuff--skin checks every year, people!

*We had a wildly successful trip in terms of managing our food allergies.  We're still very careful but traveling is getting easier each time we attempt it.  And we're really grateful to our families for their patience and willingness to work with us on this.

Thanks to everyone for hosting and making time to see us!

We hit the ground running tomorrow and have two very busy months ahead.  The boys and I got our tiny garden seeds planted this weekend.  They'll grow indoors for awhile before they move out to the garden.  A good plan considering we're supposed to get up to 13 inches of snow tomorrow night!  We are hoping to grow broccoli, brussel sprouts, miniature pumpkins, a white pumpkin, watermelon, carrots, peas, and zucchini    We'll see how the harvest turns out!

And now for the flood of pictures.  (:  Enjoy and have a good week!

These guys did so great in the car.  All they needed was a pile of new books from the library and the Disney Channel on Pandora and they were all set!
