{ april rundown }

The weeks are ticking by and we are over halfway through April - whew! Since my last post.....

The Twins had their opening day. What better way to support them than twins wearing Twins' gear?!

Oliver and Stella have been LOVING the scooters they got from Santa at Christmas. They are Kickboard Maxi Micros and have amazing stability, turning abilities and speed. They had fun doing tricks on a trek to dinner and the liquor store before the big Gopher hockey game last weekend.

After a recheck at the eye doctor, we are having to patch Oliver's "good" eye in hopes that it will make improvements in his not so good eye. The doctor's concern is that his brain still isn't using his bad eye and we want to stop that trend now as it becomes harder and harder to make the connection if you let it go on too long. He has to wear it a few hours each day and it will probably take 6-8 months to wean him down to not wearing it at all. He has been an awesome sport about it!

It snowed on April 17th. That deserves hot chocolate.

Chop was out of town for work last week in Boston which called for dinner out.

Followed by unprompted hugs.

And of course lots of the same for dad when he got home.

We've been brave enough to re-enter the restaurant scene with Oliver and Stella and it isn't so bad anymore. This weekend we ventured out to an old fav, Black Sheep Pizza, and had a great time!

Today was a glorious, sunshiny, 70 degree day. And it was Easter! More to follow on that......
