Springtime Smiles

Although we had little down time this past spring, we all tried to make the best of it and enjoy all of the little moments with family and friends. Here is a photo compilation of some of those moments throughout the spring.

As life began to return to "normal" with my work schedule, Jeff and I always enjoyed sneaking away for a lunch together at one of our favorite spots. On other times, as I was holed up in my home office, he would take the kids out to theirs. Family time together always brings out all the smiles!





Towards the end of spring, Kaitlynn was invited to watch one of her sweet friends perform in a local production of The Lion King musical. We were happy to attend and cheer Evan on, who just happened to be the funniest performer of the afternoon. It was a great show!



On another occasion, Kaitlynn was able to enjoy a fun play date with one of her all-time besties, Lily. They never get bored and always have so much fun together, even when their older brothers tag along! 





As it began to sink in that Kaitlynn was now representing her junior high as a future cheerleader, all of the spirit gear began to pour in. I've never seen so many color-coordinating and Timberwolf-themed items - all donning her name! It was so fun for Kaitlynn to be a part of the new group, and she was really enjoying the experience so far.




Of course, not everything in the springtime brought out smiles - especially when covered by the ever-present face masks. The Covid protocols were still in full swing throughout the end of the kids' school year, and the contact tracing required us to get tested every so often. When one of Connor's baseball teammates found out he was positive for Covid, the entire team had to get tested to be on the safe side. We were SO ready for all the Covid mess to end, and it seemed like the future was looking brighter with each new day.
