Wrapping up April

Last month was pretty crazy. We juggled soccer, scouts, college advisement (complete with lots of paperwork), school programs, and Trav's tonsillectomy & adenoidectomy-- all on top of our usual workload. We've made some big strides with personal goals, but journaling went on the backburner in the process.

Here are some pictures to wrap up our April:

An evening with Nanay & Papa

When tax season ended, Janine flew down to Arizona so she and Paul could enjoy a road trip home together. We got to spend a fun evening with them before they hit the road. It was wonderful to see you, Nanay & Papa!

Sick days and a music festival

Two weekends ago, Scott and I got hit hard by a nasty bug. Mine resulted in strep and Scott's in a respiratory infection. Thankfully, the kids were fine (especially relieving for Travis, who's scheduled to have his tonsils & adenoids removed next week).

We both felt more sick than we had in years. We would each have windows where we felt okay (relatively), only to be knocked into a high fever and exhaustion a short time later. This went on for quite a few days.

That Saturday, the city of Goodyear held its annual Lakeside MusicFest from noon to 9pm. We had planned to take our family there for a while, but sickness changed things. Thankfully, I felt well enough that evening to catch the last hour of music. It felt amazing to escape our sick house for a while... before strep knocked me off my feet again the next morning.

One year

April 1st marked a year since we moved to Arizona. Since we aren't into April Fool's Day, we dubbed 4/1 Arizona Day and celebrated with shrimp tacos.

While we miss our Idaho family and friends like crazy, this has overall been such a good move for our family. We're happy to be here.
