    Great-grandma Isabelle Savelius passed away this morning around 12:30 am. She was 94 years old. Matthew, Kara and I were able to see her yesterday afternoon...she was unresponsive at the time, but we'd like to think she knew that we were there. She finally, after 19 years, will be able to reunite with Great-grandpa Joe. RIP Grandma Belle...we will miss you.

    Signs of spring are everywhere...our backyard is greening up, daffodils are poking through the mulch, and buds are on our apricot tree (now, pray for no freeze....bad freeze = no apricots). The garden has been tilled, ready for potatoes to be planted in the next week or two. Seeds are started indoors! We've got gardening fever!

    Matthew had a band concert this evening (Band-o-Rama....5th grade through 12th grade performed - kids are all from 5 different school - 685 of 'em!). He did a terrific job! I posted videos of the performance.

    Spring break starts Thursday...although it's a break for the kids, it's definitely not a break for me, but that's why I stay home, right? Ha!

    Allison will be getting braces put on her teeth on the 30th...she's picked out pink and purple to go with her metal...oh, Lordy! Found out she's addicted to the taste of Scope...orthodontist is thrilled since we will apparently be buying that in BULK! LOL!

    Not much else is going on around here...just constant string of meetings, swim practices, gymnastics, music rehearsals, concerts...wait, I guess that's a lot of things. So much for trying to say "no" more. Ah well.

    Enjoy your spring breaks (if you get one!)

    Well, Eric's toy show was a success this year...so much so that he is already looking forward to planning next year's and has gotten himself a table at another toy show in another town in March. I tried to sell some tutus (with farm themes of course!) but didn't sell a one. So if you are interested in a tutu, let me know!!

    We are currently in our longest stretch of nobody in the house being sick...it's almost scary to admit it because I'm afraid I'll jinx it!

    After getting missed by the majority of the snow that hit the rest of Kansas in December, we finally got smacked with 8 inches last week (it was sooooo beautiful) and the kids had a day off of school last Friday because of it. Yesterday yielded another 3 inches. It's trying to melt today, but the sun has gone behind the clouds again. They are talking more snow again on Sunday. We are very, very happy to see the snow because this means much needed moisture around here. Not to mention that it's just so dang pretty. Eric and I were lamenting the other day, however, that we wished it had come during the Christmas season...the lights from everyone's displays always looks so pretty against freshly fallen snow. It has caused some delay as far as me getting to Great Bend to work (last week), but we've been able to work around it.

    Matthew is excelling on swim team...his coach is extremely happy with his progress. I can't wait until his first swim meet to see how he does (that will be in June). Allison is doing well with gymnastics but with typical Allie fashion is already asking to do something else. She has stuck with it and has improved so much since September. It looks like we will be enrolling Kara in a dance class soon....she's a little ballerina and has picked up on some dance moves already all by herself.

    Enjoy your week (or what's left of it) and have a wonderful weekend!

    Just a quick note to let everyone know that the owners of aboutmybaby.com are discontinuing the online scrapbook service. I am in the process of transferring everything over to another website host so in the next couple of months, I'll be sending you a new link to the new website. With everything on here, it's going to take a long time, but I hope to continue a website for the family to be able to keep in touch with each other. The new one I've found is much more interactive so hopefully it will work better.

    In other news...Matthew started his first practice last night with the local swim team. His coaches were impressed with his initial performance and are really looking forward to working with him. Although he still plans on baseball this summer, he is really looking forward to swim team. Allison is still doing well in gymnastics although, she was disappointed she couldn't join the swim team, too, last night! Ha! Kara has come down with that persistent cough again...she had improved so much from her last bout with the respiratory "guck" over Christmas that I was beginning to second guess see a pulmonologist in March...but since this last bout started, I'm glad that we are going to get her tested once and for all for asthma. We are excited that she slept through the night last night without needing another breathing treatment...Alleluia! :-)

    We are looking forward to a visit this weekend from Grandpa Dave and Nana Nancy...it's been since Thanksgiving since we saw them all together and the kids are very excited. Should be a great weekend!

    Have a wonderful week...don't forget the people of Haiti and especially all of the orphaned children with no family to comfort them during this scary time...they had another quake this morning and I can't imagine the fear those little ones have in their hearts and minds. Help them as much as you can with anything from prayer to monetary donations to opening your home....

    Michelle:  Chris, I would be interested in learning about this new site you are going to use. My fam is upset about the changes.
