April

Addie and Cooper played soccer in the spring, and this year it started a little earlier than normal.  It was five weeks (Saturdays) and we did not have one nice day.  It was cold, windy, and wet the whole time.  Cooper and Addie still had a great time and were so much fun to watch, even if these pictures say differently.

Some more talk and finalizing plans on the patio and how they should start any day. 

It got warm enough for the kids to enjoy a sprinkler under the trampoline.  

Another cold soccer morning. 

Ella had a choir concert while Addie had art night at school.  

Cooper had another Taekwondo test.  

More wet, cold soccer! 

 

This picture is just 100% Addie.

Just for fun.

The Easter Bunny made a visit.

The Easter Egg hunt got harder this year. 

Grandma and Grandpa were sick so they sent over packages. 

We also made a visit to Papa Tony's. 

Before pictures. The work should start any day now! 

Addie's bestie neighbor friend took her to the zoo on a day off of school. 

Recital season was starting to ramp up. 

This is us waiting in the waiting room, on a Friday night, while Ella got an MRI on her knee.  The week before she got an X-ray on her knee because after a week or two of pain she now had a big bump.  She was not sure what happened or if she had done anything to hurt it.  She did remember feeling a POP on the trampoline. The bump turned out to be osteochondroma, an overgrowth of cartilage and bone that happens at the end of the bone near the growth plate. This growth/tumor was putting pressure on nerves and nearby bones causing pain. Poor baby!
