The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year.  Let us be thankful for the fools.  But for them the rest of us could not succeed. — Mark Twain

We went on a field trip to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia during Spring Break.

Granny, Pop-Pop and Grandpap Olaf came to visit on Easter Sunday.  Granny brought a loaf of Bunny Bread, a cake shaped like an Easter Egg, and Easter Baskets filled with way too much candy (according to Mom, not us!).

On a sad note, our cat Pita (9 April 1993 – 25 April 2011) passed away this month.

Ross celebrated his 14th birthday this month.  And Owen graduated from the Cub Scouts and is now a Boy Scout. 

Aunt Janet came to visit us this month.  During her stay, she went with  Mom and Granny to see the Cherry Blossoms.

The big event this month is Owen’s Birthday.  He will be 11 years old on February 25th.

Phil did not see his shadow, so an early Spring may be on the way.  His prediction is looking good so far.  Last February we had two back-to-back snowstorms that left a combined 42 inches on the ground.  This February we’ve already had two days with temperatures over 70 °F (21 °C).
