Spring has Sprung (Finally)!

Another week has flown by, and we are excited to be seeing more spring-like weather! You may have heard about the storms that went through Kansas City Thursday night. We were very thankful and lucky that we did not receive any damage from the storms. However, many people in neighborhoods pretty close to ours did not fare so well. Some of the damage can take your breath away...houses completely gone, roofs blown off of houses, trees uprooted completely and laying on their sides. We hope that they can quickly recover and get back on their feet.

Recently I showed Zane a fun computer game that we show all of the new kindergarten parents each year. It works on letters, sounds, reading, etc. He LOVES it and askes to play "Letters" all the time! He could sit for probably an hour and not get bored with it! Here is a little video of Zane playing "Letters."

An update on Chris...we visited him on Sunday before heading to Iowa and he was doing well, just really sore and taking it easy. He has a terrible bruise where he was stepped on...it looks BAD! Matt has talked to him quite a bit this week and he has really come a long way this week and feels a lot better. We were thankful to hear that the races were cancelled this weekend because we wanted him to have more time to heal before having to get into the racecar! Another week will be really good for him and will hopefully allow him to get back "on track!"

We stayed in KC this weekend and have gotten so much accomplished! We bought living room furniture, Zane's "big boy bedroom" furtiture, washed the insides and outsides of our cars, mowed the yard, cleaned the carpet in the living room to get ready for the new furniture, and cleaned out the garage! Wow, what a lot of jobs to get done! The weather has been beautiful this weekend, especially today, so we took full advantage! It was also nice to be able to go to our church again since we've been out of town the last few weeks.

While I was cleanin out the van today, Zane helped by scrubbing the floor mats. He just kept scrubbing and scrubbing...and also enjoyed filling up the bucket when it got low! Here's a picture and video of him cleaning away!

We are really excited to start the week...our furniture will be delivered tomorrow! Zane's also excited that it's (finally) May! When I told him, he said "Zane birthday, May 20!" Thanks for checking in on us!
