Still kicking...kind of...

Well, there goes another few months of the year! Long story short: Snow has melted! Spring is Here!!!

OK, now for a slightly longer version...

Snow melted this year and the floods came. Obviously we all survived, but there are some people in the region that didn't fare as well as we did.

Spring has come...finally...with grass, dandelions, tree seedlings, and flowers! I'm really glad it is here because that means I get to play in the dirt. I am putting in a few extra hours this year at the greenhouse (Levi Runion's in Sabin, MN) because of Judd's accident...

Judd's Accident: On April 30th he cut his leg with a circular saw. He managed to miss the major artery and only nicked his quad tendon. He had surgery to put it all back together and will start rehab on June 1st. We hope he can return to work full time in July. Right now he is the "leg" man, doing the running, walk throughs, errands....hmmmm....sounds funny since he can't really walk all that well, huh?

The kids are doing great. Hanna is almost done with her first year at the middle school and is finishing with flying colors. I was a bit concerned at the beginning of the year, but she has risen to the occasion and really excelled. Xander is completing 3rd grade in the Spanish immersion program and has enjoyed his year as well. Brigit has 4 days left of her 2nd year in Head Start. She is flying through everything she needs to know for Kindergarten and can't wait for next fall. She will go into the immersion program as well.

Well...that's it for now. If you want more details, you'll have to call us. We're in the book!
