A few happenings...

 Dad, Mom, and Kaity went to Florida to see Rick perform in a play, while there they also saw Eli.
Spring concerts are finally over, I enjoyed them but it is definitely a relief to have them over with!
 These pictures are from two of the seven concerts.

Aunt Lizzie is a pretty good story reader too! ;)
In April we were able to meet up with the Sikma family and enjoy a day with them!
So much fun!
We went to Cantigny Park - There is a war museum and a historical mansion on the property that we went through.
