Good news!

Well we did end up with about 3 inches of snow. Luckily it was short lived and now we have some daffodils in bloom! Yay! We got out yesterday and made our full 3.5 mile loop from home and back. It was in the mid 60's, so warm compared to this time last week! The kids played outside all afternoon. Its so nice getting them outside...Sanity...ahhhh.

Today we go for Jackson's pre-school registration. Can't believe my baby boy is ready for pre-school. Its only a few hours every other day but I am excited for him. It will be fun to hear about his learning and adventures! Just hope his is well behaved!! We also are registering him for T-ball! They have all there games here in Genesee so wont be too much hassle, just hope Daddy can make it to a few games! He's growing up...I knew it would happen, and am glad to say it is just as exciting as I always hoped it would. It does feel a bit weird to know that someone else will be in charge of my child other than me. I'm sure I will get over that fast. Now just to work on his 13 year old attitude!!!

Being a big brother and helping Anna walk! 

We had a nice Easter celebration. Made it to church and then went over to the Sundstroms for a delicious feast! Our friends Dave and Tamra came with their two boys as well. The kids had their third and final Easter egg hunt and had a blast playing together! Being away from our family is hard but when you have great friends like this it makes it easier! I made Easter cookies and shared them at fellowship on Sunday...they were a hit!


We made Easter crafts. I have been inspired by my Nephew Colton's day care people...They always do fun holiday crafts with the kids. So I hopped on Pinterest and found these. It was fun!

 Waylon wouldn't let me paint his hands so we improvised!

This last bit of news is the most exciting. Anna had a post/pre surgery ultra sound last Tuesday. To check on how things were looking after the surgery and to make certain that surgery on the other side was still needed. Miraculously the side we hadn't had any surgery on looked wonderful! Just about has healed itself! We are so relieved!! I knew when I saw the kidney on the ultrasound we wouldn't be doing surgery on it...Had to wait for word from the surgeon for sure and was so relieved to hear that it looked as good as I thought it did!!! I was worried that the side we did do surgery on wasn't looking that good. I was expecting it too look like the other side and it didn't! But the Surgeon said he felt it did look substantially better. So we will wait a few more months and do another follow up US. It is possible that we will need to do a few more kidney functioning tests in the future. But hopefully we are done with invasive surgeries! Hallelujah! Mark and I had the biggest grins at this news...it was just a huge weight lifted off our shoulders!
