To Grandma and Grandpa's we go---Florida

O.K. ----so we missed our flight going to see John's parents in Florida. How does that really happen? We live about 20 minutes from the airport and yet Marshall...family of 6 miss their flight. We went back for Gracie's amoxicillin which I guess was a mistake. I think it is all quite sad that it happened and it will never happen again. Luckily John's dad was able to pull some strings and we were able to make it the same day, only later. We all love to go visit Duff and Judy. The boys could fish all day long. Casey and I went for 2 kayak rides...pretending we were in the everglades...will post those pics later. It is just so good for the body and soul to travel to Florida as much as possible. Living in Wisconsin in the winter and spring is soooo depressing. I could count on one hand the number of times we were all outside this winter. Why is it we live here again??
I think living here must be like the delivery of a child. The pain is so horrible but we forget about it in just a few months. Now that it is just beginning to get nice out...I think we tend to forget how miserable the last 6 months were. How fortunate we are to be able to travel to Florida. John and the kids are getting ready to go again in May.

Easter 2008

We all had so much fun doing easter eggs this year. Gracie wanted to play in the dye and became quite angry when the water was taken away from her. We had standing room only at church which is not too unusual for us. We always seem to be late on the holiday masses despite how we try to get ready earlier.
