April Showers bring....Volcanic Dust clouds????

Happy Spring all!!! Today finally feels like it's arrived. I even got to go out and updated my spring wardrobe. Now if only I can find shoes. I may wait until we head home. We are getting ready for lots of exciting things. We have our school musical coming up this week. It has been a big undertaking that both Matt and I have volunteered to help with but it has been really fun. It is called Aesop's Fables and is really cute. The teachers are even singing a song. We are also getting ready to move at the end of the month into a house and we've bought a car to go along with it. It will just be a rented house but it has a garden...a tub... and two bedrooms (guestroom anyone??) I will really miss the city as it is on the outskirts a bit more, but the country will be right across the street. I am really looking forward to this.

We are anticipating two visit home this summer!! We have two weddings and with the second we hope to spend a lot of time at home just enjoying a Michigan summer and friends. Hopefully the Volcanic cloud will have blown away by then.

Our Dutch is continuing to improve. We still can't speak too much but are starting to understand the conversations that are going on around us. We only have four more lessons left and we're done with the entry class!

One really fun thing we've started is cooking date night. This is good because we make a special meal, and save money instead of going out. The rules are it has to be a new recipe we've never tried before, it has to be presented in a special way and we usually make/get a dessert too!!! It's a bit fun because sometimes we feel like we are on one of those cooking shows and it's been a good thing to force us to make more interesting dishes and it allows us to spend quality time together. I highly recommend it if you can find...(which you probably can't so you need to make) the time.

Our congratualtions go out to many families who've had their new babies, Noah Spedding arrived April 9, Issac Andrew Baareman arrived April 5. Both my cousins and Matt's cousins welcomed new babies as well, Madison Orefice and Levi Mast. Happy times.

Hope all is well with everyone around the world! Blessings to all!!!
