A Few Memories

Here are some of the pics from our Christmas break. The first one is Josh and I sitting at the table getting ready to eat Christmas dinner.

The second pic is of our nephews Elijah and Gabriel. This was too cute not to include.

The last photo is perhaps a peek into our future. Josh playing with Gabriel at a gathering over a the neighbors house.

We had such a great time catching up with everyone and we can't wait to come back to Ohio and visit some more. We miss everyone so much!

Last week was very busy. Josh and I had a lot of rehearsal to attend for the spring Symphonic Band concert. All of our small ensembles played at the start of the concert and then I filled in on clarinet when the Symphonic Band took the stage. Needless to say we both feel like we need another spring break.

Things are back to normal here.....it is spring and with that comes lots of fun critters like wasps and what Josh and I call "those we do not speak of" ..the dreaded cockroach.

Although we've only seen about 10 wasps this week and none of the other...we know that these things have a funny way of working themselves into our home.

Anyway, we take everything in stride and hope that this year will be even better than the last.

Here's to a beautiful spring and summer and hopefully we will see you all very soon!

God Bless

Easter is here once more

It is almost that time of year where the trees begin to bloom and the flowers start to grow. Spring Break is next week and I can not wait for it to arrive. I remember a time when spring break meant going home and lounging in front of the television for hours at a time. Now, it's different. I will be visiting my good friend out in Texas and working a little bit up at the school and doing a lot of practicing. It's funny how life changes slowly over time. This year Easter weekend coincides with our spring break, which is great because we get to relax and enjoy that time. I remember when my sister and I were little and our mom would dress us up in Easter dresses with hats, and little hand bags. It was always a great time with our family. My mom would cook a nice dinner and it really was all about being together as a family. It is difficult being away form those you love, especially at a time that means so much. God rose from the dead and being able to celebrate that with family is so special. Even though we will be far away from all of you this Easter, we will be thinking of you and most of all we will be giving praise that our Lord and Savior was risen from the dead. God Bless, HB
