April Continues

April has been a crazy month. First, it snowed. We woke up with an inch of two on the ground, but it turned sunny and then melted. Then the following happened. Latest snow I remember. 

Speaking of falling, I'm short so I have to move a stool around the kitchen (who am I kidding, the house in general) to reach things. But sometimes the stool isn't tall enough so I have to use the chair. One day I was moving it back and (it was right after the horrible stomach bug so maybe I was on the weaker side of things) I lost my grip and the chair hit hard. Ironically I dislike this table. I thought it was great when I got it but it's basically really poorly constructed. It looks nice enough when you don't look too closely. It's not real. It's got a fancy covering on it that has started to peal off. And none of the screws that keep the legs together are stable. So, maybe dropping the chair was a Freudian thing. We'll replace it one day. Gonna pay off the house first though. 

I wanted a family picture so we took this. 

Then Rebekah wanted a crazy picture so we took this.

Notice Don. Apparently opening eyes more = crazy. 

Normal

    

Crazy

The mama goose protecting her egg. It's small but it's in there. Extra points if you can find it. 

She left the nest to go off with her mate so I went down to see what I could see. No worries, I didn't disturb anything. If you look close enough you can see the egg under there. Looks like she keeps it pretty hidden while she is away. 

Rebekah and the other neighborhood child wrote a neighborhood newspaper.

The newspaper up close:

And speaking of news, here's some family news. Pepper trying to get Michael to stop writing music and play with her. Pretty persuasive if you ask me. 

My nephew went on his first dance. He's such great guy. 

Family zooms are still a thing. Rebekah took this with my camera instead of my normal screen shots. 

Oh, and Don's birthday is coming up. And when it's Don's birthday we open his last year's presents that he never opened and play with them. Hence the kite - or as Rebekah likes to refer to it, The Shield of Faith. 

She's doing pretty well getting it up there. 

Go Rebekah!
