March/April update

Well I am done working as of March 31st so hopefully I will be able to keep up with the blog much better now. Christina has been growing and doing more things all the time. Her speech is slow coming but she understands when we tell her to do something and she does it. She has learned to dance and it is soooo cute. She gets very lonely when her siblings are outside for long periods of time but she really shows the charm when they come in.

Anthony had his 15th birthday on the 26th. Yes, he is already thinking about driving. Mama is not very happy about it yet. All he wanted was new bedding and a pillow. He reminded me he hasn't had new bedding since he was 4. I guess it was time. He also received an alarm clock. So far everyone is waking up to it but him. Anthony had an organ recital on Sunday the 30th. The two students from each teacher attended and played. One of the Judges for Gold cup asked for Anthony to perform so he felt very honored.

Michael's stomach is getting better but not 100% yet. But he definitely has his activity back. He has been taking on the goat care and he watches them all the time. He comes in an tells us if one is sick or is looking slow. We are kidding again so it will get busy soon.

Maria won the state piano competition so she will be playing at the Honors concert at Northrop Auditorium at the U of M campus. She is so excited. Another occasion to wear a pretty dress. She also has her First Communion on April 20th. She can't wait.

We celebrated our first Easter with Christina. It seems so long ago that we were at Holy Saturday and thinking we would have her home by now. But she is here and was excellent through the 2 hour Mass. We didn't even need to leave the pew. And no she didn't sleep like we had hoped.

My Mom had her last Chemo on March 14th. We are so excited for her to get her system built up again so we can see her again. We miss Dad, her and Darren so much. It has been since Christmas Eve since we last seen them.

Well Spring is here!!!! Enjoy!!!!
