April is flying by in a blink of an eye! It’s crazy how far we are already into this month. Starting the month out sick and then moving right into Easter and a spring break trip to the Oregon Coast all worked together to make time move at a different pace. The whole month has been a little off, but that’s not a bad thing. Sometimes life is out of the ordinary!
Despite sickness, I joined the boys to watch the Artemis II launch in the living room. I pulled myself out of bed for the historic moment. The boys were very excited and it was fun to watch their enthusiasm. It was also sweet when Owen did an impromptu prayer for the safety of the mission. It was a very touching moment. I’m glad we got to witness history! We also checked in with the mission throughout the next 10 days and watched the splashdown in the Pacific. We were invested!
Getting better was my main mission at the start of the month. We had fun Easter and spring break plans. I did not want sickness holding me back. The day before Easter we got together with my family. We enjoyed a pizza lunch, egg hunt for the boys, and desserts from Costco. It’s always a bonus when the weather is nice for Easter weekend! After church on Easter Sunday, we loaded up and took off for the Oregon Coast. It was time for a spring break adventure with the Scott clan. We enjoyed a few days away filled with games, beach walks, beach fires, good food, and lots of family time. A highlight of the trip for the boys was going to see the Super Mario Galaxy movie. Many memories were made together as a family.
Finally, our last piece of news is a new cat has moved into the neighborhood! With heavy hearts, we said good-bye to TC, the doggie next door, in March. My parents decided they didn’t want to be a pet-less family, so they adopted Tipper this weekend. The boys are thrilled! They get to experience the joy of a pet vicariously through the neighbors. It’s a win-win! Bonding with Tipper is now their top priority. Good thing she’s playful and enjoys the attention the boys are showering on her. Tipper is exciting new addition to the family!
