Hello from Wichita!

This is a March post in April:)   We were able to have Christmas with Hannah, James and Spencer at our house.

In January Samuel received a shipment of his first CD.  And celebrated his birthday.  Twice!  One in Wichita and one in Hutchinson.

In February, I was able to visit Chicago and babysit while Andrew and Katie went to New York for a weekend.  

Andrew and family didn't get to come for Christmas or Martin Luther King weekend but by President's day everyone was over COVID.  The weather was so nice we went to the zoo, visited the Keeper of the Plains statue and had some playground time.  And visited Great Grandma in Hutchinson.  

March gave Tim and Samuel a spring break.  Tim went with Andrew to visit Erik in Alaska.  They had fun skiing, seeing the salmon hatchery and the glacier.  Conditions were not good for hiking to the glacier so that will be another time.  They went tide pooling and saw a sea cucumber which Erik and Jessica had not found before.  Samuel enjoyed just having some unscheduled resting time.  

It feels like spring might be here now.  We hope it stays:)

Wearing Purple for Epilepsy Awareness Day

 And here's our purple!

We are grateful to be on the other side of Epilepsy, but millions are not. We took some time today to reflect on our time struggling with it and thinking of those who are currently facing it.
