“Insta”-replay: the rest of April

I’m getting less creative with my blog post titles, but at least you can’t accuse me of click bate.  April showers have definitely brought us some May flowers, but what else did April bring?


It brought Merry a certificate of merit for her excellent job on the national Latin exam!  This was her first big exam and she did great! 


It brought Grandma Jackie a colorful cast, which we of course signed! Instead of her coming over to our house once a week for breakfast, we have been going over to her house.  But I’m sure she is looking forward to when she can visit again.


It brought realization that Merry isn’t quite the little girl I usually think of her as.  She can even wear adult sized shirts, extra smalls, and plays video games like a pro.  It won’t be long before she can beat me.


It brought culture.  We thoroughly enjoyed hearing the second and third parts of Handel’s Messiah at the Elsinore.  It is always fun to hear my mom and Bill sing with the Salem Festival Chorale. 


And last but not least, it brought cousins! It was so nice to have them visit from Idaho and to have someone to watch Avengers with us!

So that was what April brought us, I hope it brought you good memories as well!
