An Eventful Month

I can't believe a month has passed since our last post. And, what a month it's been!

When we last touched base we were in Kansas City waiting for Spring to arrive.

Fast forward a month. We're still in Kansas City. And, we're still waiting for Spring. In fact, tonight's forecast calls for temps of the record breaking variety.

We're not talking about a heat wave, folks.

So, what are a couple of native Kansas Citians to do while waiting for things to warm up around here?

Here's a rundown.

We've spent much of our collective energy tending to Paul's Dad, who has had a bit of a health scare. He's doing much better, thankfully. We're so glad we've been here to support him. (And so is he!)

My Dad celebrated a big birthday. We're so happy he was on the planet to mark this milestone and we were with him to celebrate.

Just after the party, I caught the big bummer of a respiratory bug that's been going around. Two totally listless weeks were a complete blur, followed by a week-and-a-half of a nagging cough.  I'm pleased to report that I have recovered. But, for a while there Paul was simply bouncing from one invalid to another. (Yes, he IS a saint.)

I spent much of my sick time watching the NCAA men's basketball tournament, which was entertaining until the regional semis. With our beloved Jayhawks out of the mix, and my bracket completely busted, my annual overdose of college basketball came to an abrupt end. Withdrawal has been a little rough, but I've managed.

We have caught up with other family and friends, which has been great fun. We always enjoy our time in our old hometown.

Yep. It's been a busy month. But, it's all good.

Oh yeah. There's one more thing.

We bought a house.

More soon!
