Hello! Its been awhile since we've updated you on our "goings on" ... its been a little bit busy.
Caitlyn started soccer, again. She is back on the same girls team she was on in the fall and really enjoys the girls and the coaches. Cat just had a spring chorus program that we attended that was wonderful! Dan and I always enjoy listening to her sing. About a month ago Cat had the opportunity to be a part of the United Nations program for youth where she spent 3 days learning and building initiatives for various countries. She had a great time!
Dan has been working very hard around the house. He had a chance to take a few days off and start working on our front yard. Last year was the backyard and this year is the front. We're not sure what we want to do yet, but we had a few trees taken down and have another few areas in the front yard that we're filling with grass. It will make mowing that front yard a whole lot easier! He opened the pool for us, too. Much to his dismay ... its been freezing ever since so hes been having to take care of a pool that we cannot use ... it does make me feel better knowing that it might be close to being able to use it, though :) I dont think that makes him feel any better :( Dan went out to Seattle for about a week about 1.5 months ago. His sister, Karen, had an accident so he wanted to be out to help if he could and to visit Dano, hi Dad and brother. He had a great visit.
I have just been a wreck! I fell the other day on my way out of the Drs office (just a little ironic dontcha think :) and aside from being COMPLETELY embarrassed I ripped my hands up to shreds ... litteraly it looked like my hands had been put in a cheese grater. I have been pitiful ever since! My beautiful watch that Dan got me several years ago is scratched up and so is my phone, but the good news is that I managed to keep from having my face hit the ground. Work continues to be challenging with lots of movement and change happening within the company. Dan and I feel fortunate to both have jobs and the ability to take care of our family. We are thankful for this.
We just heard from Dans sister that Nicole (her daughter/Dans Niece) will be coming to visit us this summer for her HS Graduation gift from her Dad. We're sooooo excited!!! We cant wait to have her come out and visit with us.
Caitlyn will go out to AZ this summer to visit her Dad. She'll be out there July 8 - August 12th. Shes not leaving until July 8th, because she gets her DRIVERS PERMIT on July 6th. Can you believe that! She has to have her permit for a min of 9 months before she can get her license so every day she doesnt get it ... is another day she has to wait after she turns 16. Its, also, great, because she'll get to learn how to drive with her Dad when she is in AZ :) I am looking forward to not having to be the first person to teach her ... besides theres lots of open space in AZ for him to teach her :)
Dan, Caitlyn, Dano and I will be in Denver for Easter. This will be our first family vacation since Dano graduated HS (hes 24 now) .... so needless to say we're looking forward to getting together and having Dan and Dano meet my family in CO. We'll be in Breckenridge for a portion of the time and keeping our fingers crossed that there is still snow to ski. If not, we'll just enjoy being together.
Little Man our last little pup now has his own home. We are very very sad ... he was the best! He was house trained, played catch and just a lover!! Hes at a home with a little boy (Landon) and his sister, Mom (Kristy) and Dad. Hes also just up the street from where 2 of our other puppies live. I know that he will have a great home, but boy do we miss him :(
We hope all is well with everyone! Happy Spring!
Love,
Dan, Heidi, Caitlyn, Gunner, Liberty and Stanley
