Spring update

Happy May Day!

Here's some pics from our trip to Colorado Springs to visit Sara, Dre and the boys. Of course the kids had tons of fun playing with their cousins. They've never been so antsy on a road trip. You'd think the 2 1/2 hours was a day of driving! It's fun to have the kids at an age where you can see how much they love their cousins and can't wait to see them. They already want a plan as to when we'll see them again!

We've been enjoying the Spring with it's crazy weather. One day feeling like it's Summer, then the next, having a reminder that it's not all shorts quite yet! The boys are nearing the end of their school year, Nate being done mid-May and Mac at the end of May. I'm very excited for Summer!

Sam is out-of-town this week, working in Fairbanks. He actually got to spend a day in Juneau with Jim & Debbie, then will go on to Fairbanks today for the week. It's going to be hard to have him gone, but it's a huge blessing to have the work. The kids and I have a busy week with school winding down, so I'm sure the week will go by fast. I'm praying everyone is healthy for the most part. Elly got sick yesterday, but I'm thinking it's just from congestion from a bad cold. We'll see. Everyone slept great last night (as opposed to a bad night the night before with Elly under the weather) and for that, I am thankful!

Here's a bunch of pics!
