pardon me...

for real? how can there only be 6 days left in april? CRAZY! how can we already be on the verge of summer? i, for one, am READY! but i am trying to keep my excitement to myself because katie's principal has instructed us to try and keep the children focused for the next 4 weeks....bwhahahahah

any who, here is a picture of katie and auntie erin at the reception for the kindest Kansan. are they not adorable?

lucy has received the "best mood" award for like the last two weeks. she has been super flexible, and as my brother recently stated, "blessed are the flexible for they will NOT be bent out of shape".
she has been HILARIOUS! and we have desperately needed some hilarity in our lives the last few weeks. for instance while at the royals game she boldly stated, "this is way more fun than church!" (don't be offended skip :) she also informed me and mark that she "ain't marrying her boyfriend!" when asked why she said, " because i will already have the ring, the bracelet, and the jewelry!" yes, yes, in fact we ARE raising a gold digger :)

we also attended our first MLB game as a family. we almost froze our tukusses (this is the in house term for BUTT) off!! but we made the most of it. it was SUPER FUN! we hope to do it again in summer temperatures.

we hope everyone has a great tuesday and a great conclusion to april!
