Spring 2018

Hello.

A busy spring as always.  The weather was very cold and rainy for most of it, but turned nicer by the end here in PA.

Madi finished her first year at Liberty University.  She has grown to love it there and looks forward to continuing there next spring.




We did go down to visit her during the spring for a weekend.



Rebekah and Abby did take advantage of an offer from Madi's roomates's family to come down for a few days to visit in Orlando for spring break.  It was a neat experience for all.








We celebrated her birthday the weekend she got home from school.  We ate at one of her favorite local restaurants, Montezuma's.



Andrew had a very good spring at school and athletically.  He earned his varsity letter for basketball at the end of the year banquet and looks forward to playing next year.


His Soph track season went very well.  The weather was cold, rainy, and poor for most of the season.  He continued to improve throughout the season.  He earned some honors during the year and ended up forth at the league meet and the top area miler at the end of the season.





A couple action shots....






He had the cool opportunity to run the Distance Medley (1600 leg) with three Seniors who broke the school record.

Abby had a good year finishing out 2nd grade.  She was a slowed down a little by a dislocating knee cap.  We got it evaluated and went to PT.  We have a plan for her activities.  She has gotten used to wearing a knee brace for recess and other activities.  She kept herself very busy with Awana, Andrew's events, and playing around the house.  

She did take to making slime.....alot of it.  Miss Linda even helped.


On Memorial Day weekend, we took our annual pilgrimage to the pool for the first day. It was hot so that helped.  Abby took her first jump for the summer.




Abby and I walked in the annual memorial day parade in Gettysburg.  Abby was dressed for the occasion.




This summer, we will take our annual vacation to Williamsburg, VA in June. Madi will be working at the Outlets, babysitting, and doing Mary Kay.  Andrew will be focused on preparing for Cross Country and Basketball seasons.  He may also get a job locally.  Abby is looking forward to the pool and her summer activities....mainly biking, and maybe some running...

Hope you have a good summer, look for another post at the end of the summer.....until then!
