Grandparent letter


Dear Grandpa and Grandma,
                How are you doing? I hope everything is going well for you! It was so nice to see you last month. We had such a fun time visiting with you.
                We’ve had our share of crazy spring weather, including two April snowstorms! But it looks like it’s going to be sunny and warm this week—so much fun! We’ve taken advantage of the sunny days to play outside, ride bikes, and go to the park and the zoo. The gardens at Thanksgiving Point have tons of tulips and we’ve had fun walking around there too. During Cora’s spring break we also visited the dinosaur museum there, it’s full of fun activities and dinosaur exhibits.
                We’ve been having fun family movie nights on Fridays. We have a picnic in the family room and watch a movie together. To my surprise, the kids have loved watching the older movies like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and Swiss Family Robinson. It’s been a lot of fun.
                We had a lovely Easter! It was just our little family at home, but it was relaxing to have a nice meal together and read some Easter books and watch some Easter videos.
                Violet turned 5 on March 31st. She was most excited about her pink cowgirl boots and that she has her very own library card now.
Evelyn turned 1 on April 19th. She thoroughly enjoyed her jumbo cupcake, especially the frosting! We did a new tradition too, gathered a tray of items representing different professions in front of her. Whatever she picks up first is supposed to be what professions and/or attributes she’ll have when she grows up! She picked up the syringe (doctor) first, but also liked the calculator (sciences), and the orange (wealth). So we’ll see J.
Luke started t-ball this week. He is so excited! It will be fun to see how much he learns. It is twice a week for 4 weeks, so it’s a good first start into sports programs through our rec center for him.
Cora got to attend two of her friends’ baptisms this month. She still has over a year to go, but it is neat to see her so interested and excited about her own baptism already.
Love, Terrah and family
