March Moments

In March I took my three littlest and went to UT for a nephew's baptism. It was delightful. We stayed at Jennifer's house, which was fun, too. Because Nathan wasn't going I wanted to ride with my parents. They got a rental car that would fit all of us. It was nice to ride with them--and their car had a DVD player. So we stopped at a Red Box in Green River, WY since we hadn't brought any movies. (I love Red Box).

All the cousins who came

 It was nice to live close enough to go to his baptism. Our first baptisms were in TX, and besides good friends, our only family members able to attend were grandparents. I liked chatting with my sisters and being a part of their lives for a weekend.

All the family who came . . . can you see the twist in my back?

As a result of sitting too long at the sewing machine trying to finish a dress in time for Diana's birthday, and too many hours at my computer desk, and years of poor posture, and a quick trip with many hours in the car, my back was bad for about a week. I tried to ignore it, which I think is the reason it took longer to feel better. The worst part was that it coincided with Spring Break, and Nathan had taken time off. Good that he was home to help while my back was bad, but discouraging that we couldn't go anywhere.

Nathan did use his time for "dates" with each of the kids. Andrew went to Toys R Us, Bryn wanted to bake, and Caitlin & Diana chose bike rides. (Eddie didn't have one to speak of this time). He also took them swimming at one of our favorite indoor pools.

The Saturday before Spring Break was over, some friends invited us on a hike. Although we had to leave early, it was nice to accompany my family on a hike. It's the first one for me in CO. Not the last.

We had a family visitor from far away this month. Grandpa Hunt had a conference and stayed with us a couple of nights after it was over.

He read stories:

 Brought hats:

Grandpa collects hats . . . and grandkids

And played "Up and Over" with all willing participants: 

Among other things, we took him to church and fed him King Ranch Casserole, classic Texas comfort food.
Thanks for coming to visit!
