Soffit!

 The weather is getting pretty decent here in Minnesota, and Matt and I got a chance to go out (between a public health nurse meeting and a client meeting!) and start putting up the soffit material on the overhang over the new main entry!

I am very useful as the holding end on the second ladder.

Once we got to the shorter pieces, Matt's all good on his own.

And by the time supper rolled around, he'd gotten the last board up. One small part done.

Leah's track meet

Leah's running on the track team this year (as a senior, having never done it before, but close to 70% of the senior class decided to join track to get one last hurrah together!) and it just happened that the one meet closest to our house also happened to be the most gorgeous day, so we *all* went. (Even Owen showed up at the beginning and overlapped with some of us, though had to leave before Leah ran.)

Krassi does NOT look thrilled at this moment, but in general he was having a pretty good time and enjoyed the cheering. Mira is next to him, shaded from the sun by the bag we have her suction machine in. Bobbi was there only because Matt had to run mid-way to pick her up from work, but she stayed in the van...

Leah's by no means a track star, but she did run a personal best in the 800 meter with us all there cheering her on! 

Getting the whole crew out for any event is daunting, but days like this make it so worth while, and I know it means a lot to Leah to have the whole family there. :)

Easter afternoon

 While Krassimir's favorite place to spend his time is the floor, it did make me laugh to see 50 % of the children all laying on the living room floor Easter afternoon! Leah's napping, Rinnah's dozing, Gloria's reading a book, and Ebs just thinks he might as well join the pile!
