Greg took boards just before our Spring Break--he got his test back this week and he PASSED!!!!! What a relief. We had such a fantastic break together as a family. We headed up to the Dells with some friends and stayed at Chula Vista. Our room was equipped with two rooms, bathrooms, a kitchen, hot tub and a great view. The water park was a short distance away; Dax loved it. We had SO much fun.

Lucas' one year birthday bash

Lucas is entertaining to us all, besides the fact that he's cutting his molars he's a pretty content fella and likes to eat a whole lot; he's got a million facial expressions; loves balls, bats and books; is talking, walking and sleeping through the night . . . . hmmmmmm

Lucas turned one in February. He is so much fun. He'll take about 10 steps and then fall; can say the beginning of the following words: squirrel, ball, mom, dad, go, and Dax; loves to look at books by himself, throw balls, look for squirrels, eat, and play with the boys. He is so sweet.

Daxton had a fever for 6 days straight then got pink eye and an ear infection so with the ear infection he was finally able to get some medicine that would help. Then Lucas followed suit and was just as sick. I'm almost tentative to post this picture with his pink eye as I don't want anyone else to catch it. . .it's made it's way in and out of a lot of the kids in these apartments. To say the least it was one of the worst weeks I have had with sick children because after prayers and medicine in their behalf, they were still feeling horrible and there's not much else that could be done. Anyway, I think they are both finally on the mend. Now, we just wait patiently for the snow to melt and warmer weather.

This family was baptized last week. It was such a sweet experience. Greg baptized the mother.
