Spring Break – Washington D.C.

At the end of March, Kenny took the kids to D.C. for five days & they had a fantastic time. They had three full days of sightseeing & visiting friends, & they took advantage of every minute. Kenny had their itinerary planned in detail to not miss anything they wanted to see. I spent the five days at home resting, finishing a couple of projects around the house, & gearing up for the last two months of school. I missed them & participating in the trip, but hopefully, sometime soon I’ll be able to fly again.

Back Again!

The end of the school year was a fast & furious one and here we are several weeks into summer vacation. Time to get caught up here! 

Anna has been helping me go through the MANY photos the kids & Kenny took on their Spring Break trip, so that post will be first up. 

In the meantime, I’ll share two pictures of beauty I caught recently. Happy Summer!

March Happenings

During a major snowstorm in March, Anna & I decided we were ready for some spring decorations. 

Kenny had a busy but enjoyable month lighting a show & a trip to San Francisco for the Sales Force conference.

Anna’s Christmas gift – tickets to the ballet, Coppelia, in Denver. Anna danced in this show last year with her studio so we enjoyed seeing it again. 

We celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with a delicious dinner: corned beef, cabbage with bacon, Irish Soda bread, & mint brownies. I snapped a quick picture of our brownies (only half of the family likes mint) & Kenny’s green beer. 

And we celebrated Easter with all of our usual traditions.
