Spring Break

We had a great two weeks of Spring Break with Jeff's and then Cade's. Movies, sledding, building, hiking, games, dinners, Easter egg hunts, grandparents and more! We really appreciated that Patsy and Jim could come hang out with Cade while we worked. It was great seeing them and spending time with Gail and Marc and my Grandparents, too. We also got to have a great dinner with a TON of family in celebration of Granddad's life and heart attack recovery. I wish I would have gotten a picture, but for memory's sake, those in attendance were: Granddad, Grandma, Marc and Gail, Misty and Keith and Jymon and Isaac, Travis and Eva and Brooke, Steve and Donna and Alberto and Sheridan, Mike, me, Jeff and Cade. It was really nice seeing so much family. Here are some pictures to enjoy. I wish I would have captured more of the fun. Only 9 weeks until summer vacation!

That's all I got, folks. Grandma and Grandpa Schurz took Cade to Garden of the Gods and Cave of the Winds and they got some great pictures, too. Stay tuned for those hopefully-someday!

That was a full Spring Break for not having the week off. Cade does look so much more grown up in the pictures than just a few months ago.

 So the plan for school this year, at the K-5 level, was pretty complicated to begin. (the plan was made after lots of meeting and planning ...
