Megan !!

Our baby girl has turned 11 years old this week! She had a wonderful day in Louisville: Breakfast in bed, a tea party and knitting lessons with Mrs. Gentry, lunch date with Mom and Ellie, fabric shopping with Auntie Katie and a fun games party with the Cheek family! What an awesome day for her! It was winter break from school so it was an extra treat to NOT have school work to do!

Keith has been enjoying his semester so far although the work load is much more now that he has Elder responsibilities on top of school and family! I am always so thankful for his kind heart and gentle spirit that loves so many! We are beginning to do Pre-Marital counseling for some young couples in our church as well!

Basketball season has come to an end, but what a great season for both Luke and Ellie. Basketball is the common language here in Kentucky and boy do they all know how to play! BUT - As I type this note Keith and the kids are at the church playing hockey with 15-20 other people... we still have the sticks and nets being used often! AND... I am getting a wee bit of alone time ...( bonus for mom! )

Spring is sprung in Kentucky thankfully! Ellie wore shorts today and I have all sorts of spring bulbs poking up out of the ground! I even have one crocus in bloom! I am hoping to get a proper garden in this year and not have a drought kill everything... we'll see how I do this year.

Life has been good and full these days! The Lord has been so kind to provide us with friends that are like family! Thanks for reading ... send us a note and let us know how you all are doing too :)
