Becca & Dan have been involved in a big theatrical production over the past couple of weeks up at Normandale (Becca's college). They both played a couple of different parts and Becca helped with costume design. They did a fantastic job! The show is a hit, and we could barely find seats tonight! 😃
This week, I'm turning 47. My sweet hubby has some fun planned! We're finally going to get some warm(ish) weather again, and I can't wait to get back outside. Looking forward to celebrating with my family!

This is how we survive when Minnesota decides to serve up "second winter." 😁
Creamy Chicken & Wild Rice Soup for the win! From the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook, pg. 100.
We're getting all the fun ready for after church tomorrow! It looks like it's going to be an amazing day for hunting eggs! ✝️😃
We saw an otter on our walk! He was enjoying the current of the waterfall. He almost climbed out right in front of us!
Tom was playing volleyball in our yard with his brothers this afternoon. He stopped for a moment to exult in the fact that it is finally warm enough to break a sweat! 😂
I was thinking in church today, and realized next Sunday will be Easter Sunday. It will be our first Easter without the whole family together, since Christy will go with Jackson. I have mixed feelings. I'm glad she's doing so well in her new life, but I miss her sometimes. Here's a fun memory from a while back:
Today is Eric's 46th birthday! Look at what he got -- almost 8 inches of heavy, wet, new snow! 😆 It was also windy last night, so the drifts were fairly high. Thankfully, our amazing neighbors gave him the gift of a plowed driveway this morning. What a blessing!
I wrote a birthday haiku for him:
By the light of dawn
The heavy snows of April
Crush the hope of spring
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Today is Veteran's Day, and it brings back memories of when Eric & I met while we were serving our country at Misawa Air Base, Japan...
