Reason 1: Happy Easter to all! What a blessed time. Nana and Papa came up from Nebraska and it was wonderful to have them with us. Nana and Nina spent time learning to read with Dick and Jane, and Papa helped inspire some love for basketball. Dyeing eggs, egg hunts, Cleveland Wok, and showing up a year late for Minne-hop-hop were all fun times for the crew.
Reason 2: St. Patricks Day (& Pi Day) - Ben and the girls wore green throughout the week and had a few other fun festivities. In another attempt to go green, the girls are starting a "save our trees" campaign as it looks like the city will soon cut down our ash trees. We're actually sadder about the elf house that will also be removed further down the street. A trip to the MOA featured our first ride on Paul Bunyan's Log Chute. The girls were pretty brave and had a fun day.
Reason 3: Mike Hindt - Our amazing Uncle Mike passed away after a courageous fight against pancreatic cancer, and we celebrate a life well-lived. He was a fantastic father and friend and we will try to live our lives to the fullest as he did.
Reason 4: Sisters - Our girls are starting to figure out this built-in-best-friend thing. They are playing more games with one another and laughing more. Guess Who, match game, coloring, pass the pigs, and playing with their Shopkins have all meant bonding time lately. When Pip leaves the car for day care she will often say, "Have a good day, Nina" and Nina responds with, "You too, Pip. I love you." On the other side of the coin, all this close contact has meant more fighting as well, but we'll focus on the positive.
