Noah received the character trait award for demonstrating "Wisdom" at school. We are so proud of him!
Saturday was clear. The mountain had been getting dumped on the previous week so we decided to head up as a family. There is an amazing amount of snow for this late in the year. One of the highest snow totals on record. It will definitely be open until its official close on memorial weekend at the end of may. They are even running snowboard and ski summer camps up there this summer. We will likely try and get up one more time in May.
Preston lost his first bottom tooth tonight. It was hanging by a thread and I wiggled it and it fell right out. The tooth fairy will soon be on her way.
Easter morning we went to church and the older kids sang in the children's choir. After church we went to brunch and walked around Drake Park. It was a great Easter.
After some continued stormy weather this past week up at Mt Bachelor, Saturday rose Sunny! Close to a foot of snow has fallen at the mountain over the past week and with fewer people skiing at this time of the year we were hopeful for some powder... which we got! Amazing for mid April.
We met up with our friends - the Bercots (Eric and Joe) for some runs and had lunch at the mid-mountain lodge out on the sunny patio. Great day!
Today was Good Friday and we had our good friends the Warricks, their grandparents and the Dittmans over. It was a wonderful evening celebrating Easter. The kids played outside, painted bird houses and decorate cookies while the adults visited and had lots of laughs. We couldn't have asked for a better evening. When you live far from family your friends become like family. So thankful for the rich friendships God has provided.
Hunter received the character trait of "Responsibility" in chapel this morning. We are very proud of him. Well done Hunter.
Last night we colored Easter eggs. The kids look forward to this every year. It's such a fun tradition.
After a great week with family in CA we returned home to a nice sunset with storm clouds over the mountains.
Today we built shelves in Noah's room. Barn wood stained the same color as our trim, with pipes holding up the shelves. Noah was a great helper.
