Nathan had his first day home sick from school this year and maybe ever. I can’t remember the last time he was home sick from school. He is feeling better this evening.

Anyone want a pasta machine? It’s the kind with a handle, rollers, and cutters. Seems to work fine, but it was last used more than 10 years ago so it probably needs to be cleaned and lubricated.

A great, big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Nathan…we’ll be heading that way shortly, and we’re really looking forward to it!  I saw a big case of Thomas Kemper special reserve Root Beer on hand yesterday…wahoo!  Hope your day is a very special one, Nathan, and we’re looking forward to sharing a couple hours of that with you.  See you shortly!  Love, Grampa

Here are some pictures I’ve been meaning to post for awhile. We have been doing a bit of bike riding. Ben got a new bike for his birthday, so we hooked up the bike trailer and bought Alexa a new bike seat and we have been enjoying family bike rides! It has been fun to all get out and enjoy these nice sunny days of spring. I also took the girls on a hike to the Eagle River Nature Center (bear bells and pepper spray in hand). We had my neice Brooklyn over the Easter holiday. This weekend Ben is going to walk with all three girls in the heart run while I actually attempt to run it! Hope it doesn’t snow today or tomorrow.
Love to all,
B, J, M, M, A
