April 2021 UPDATES!

Here's a glimpse at April 2021 for our family!   It was a busy month!  

1--We finished our Spring Break trip to the northeast  with our first ever trek to Martha's Vineyard!


The Gingerbread Cottage Village on Martha's Vineyard totally stole my heart.  CUTEST HOUSES EVER!!! 

This pink one was our favorite! 

We also visited an Alpaca Farm, which was an absolutely delightful way to spend an afternoon!






And what's a trip to an island in the Northeast, without a trek to a lighthouse or two?   







2--Glen got a job....in Utah.   Actually I think he officially was offered it back at the end of March, but he started working remotely this month.   We are excited to be closer to most of our kids, but we have very mixed feelings about moving to Utah.  


3--We got out-of-town visitors!   Pete / Mika and family and Kristina and family came for Easter and brought lots of energy, laughter, and fun to our house!   We loved taking them to see the sites and introducing them to Pennsylvania (even if it was right before we moved)!  It was an absolutely delightful trip and we LOVED this glimpse of normalcy amongst all the craziness the last year has brought. 
































4--We babysat regularly for our sweet neighbors, the Richards,  while their mom and dad got ready for their impending move to Utah (a few weeks before ours). We absolutely loved the giggles and happy conversations they brought into our home during the time we were neighbors.  I 100% feel that they were one of the reasons we needed to live in Pennsylvania.  




5--Glen went on a big fishing trip to North Carolina with his friend, Ryan.  It was planned for LAST April, but COVID canceled it and he was thrilled to make it happen this year.  They deemed it a successful trip (as you can see by the pictures)!  

6--We got vaccinated!    I'll be the first to admit that we were a little hesitant about getting the COVID vaccine at first.  It seemed too rushed and I wasn't keen on being a living science experiment, but ultimately we felt like it was the right thing to do for our family.   All of us except one of our adult children (who shall remain unnamed here on the blog) ended up getting it.   I have no regrets.   

7--We found out that we're going to be grandparents in December!!!  We are so incredibly excited for Cami and Garrett! 

8--We went on a house hunting trip to Utah and bought a house!  (this is the view off our back porch)

More excitement to come...
