The Westover Connection: Maria and Kelly

March is over and we are ready for spring. All the snow was melted until we got two inches today. Bummer. David didn't seem to mind. He put on his snow clothes and went out to play with Zoe (our dog). We spent the month doing the usual. Amber and Megan both had choir concerts, Megan had a symphony concert, Steven earned two more merit badges and achieved the rank of first class in scouts. Amber was accepted into the high school honor society! She is applying for the art honor society as well. That girl is smart and talented! The kids all got great grades for their second trimester. Amber, Megan and Kelly went to a young women's winter camp in Wisconsin and had fun walking on the frozen lake and making new pajama pants (the girls). Marissa fell and got a hairline fracture in her left wrist (she is left handed). Luckily, a brace was all that the doctor recommended. She was able to swim with us at the water parks in Wisconsin Dells for spring break, all indoor, of course. David wasn't sure he would remember how to ride a bike since it has been so long since he actually had a clear street and warm enough weather to try it. He remembered, just like riding .... you know the saying. He loves to ride around our cul-de-sac for as long as I will let him. He especially likes going through the puddles so the mud can splash straight up his back! Kelly has been working a lot and keeping busy with the bishopric. Some Sundays are just crazy with all that we are involved in. Two weeks ago Kelly had meetings starting at 9 then choir at 12 (I am the semi-permanent substitute choir director), the choir sang in sacrament meeting, Kelly taught High Priests group, I taught the 10-12 primary class, filled in for primary and nursery music, then Steven had a priesthood preview until 6. Most Sundays are not very restful! We are happy for the chance to serve in our ward, though. We are looking forward to eating in the backyard, taking bike rides, playing outside at the park and feeling warmth from the sun. For more pictures and updates, check out our blog.
