We have been sick for a long time. Andrew started being sick 2 Wednesdays ago, 4/18. Rose, Lucia, Elliot, Mari, Andrew, Susan, and finally me. We have ventured out periodically, but we have spent a lot of time at home, mostly lying on the couch.

Not-So-Dandelions
The dandelions were starting to take over our yard, so we took some action. The kids, mostly, worked hard for a couple of days to pick over around 1,000 dandelions from our front yard. When the work was done we celebrated with a trip to Culver’s.
Andrew Reffing
This Spring Andrew took the ref course and is now a soccer ref with Northwest soccer. So far (2 games), he loves it.
Mar-Mar & Be-Bob Visit
Mar-Mar & Be-Bob came to visit this weekend. They arrived Thursday afternoon and left on Sunday morning. It was a nice visit, with nice weather, so we were able to spend a lot of time outside. Some notable elements were Mar-Mar’s continued dominance on the athletic front, winning the mini-golf challenge. Also, we went for a late lunch at Olympic Flame which ended up taking about 2 hours because they were so busy. At least we got to see the flaming appetizer.
Creek Walking
Susan, Lucia, and Rose have been enjoying the nice weather by getting out for some off-the-trail walks. Lucia loves exploring, playing in the water, and climbing over the pipes that help direct the flow of the ‘little creek.’
More Lu Faces
Lucia loves a good photo shoot, and she loves to make faces.

Getting Lu to Sleep
For the past few nights Lu has had a hard time getting to sleep. Last night I decided to record the whole thing.
April 3, 2016
It was a beautiful day today and we got to spend plenty of time outside. Mari and Andrew were servers this morning in church and then we spent the afternoon and evening enjoying the outdoors. Rose was in the swing for about an hour, Lucia worked on her hula hooping skills, and Mari accidentally learned a new trick where she flips upside down in a swing.
