Greg came this month! He stayed until Wednesday morning, April 13th.
We spent Monday and Tuesday sightseeing and fishing in the Keys.
On Friday, April 15th, I threw Lane a belated B-day party. Like 4 weeks belated. The element of surprise is guaranteed when the surprisee forgets he had a birthday.
Yes, I put 68 candles on his cake.
Nobody would eat it for all the wax drippings.
3 dozen friends came to eat meatball subs and suck helium.
Our Church service took us to KeyWest on the 17th.
Tough gig, but somebody gets to do it!!!
Afterwards a sweet couple took pity on us and
invited us in for a traditional roast beef dinner.

Then Britni and Brian celebrated the 10th anniversary
of becoming parents on the 29th…
coincidentally that is also Dalia’s birthday! ;o}
Jerry & Erin’s family dropped by the Hansen’s over the past weekend
(minus Jerry who had work commitments). So fun!
But it would've been even more fun WITH Jerry.
My sweetie made hand-dipped chocolate-covered-cinnamon-bears for me.
Oh how I hate to love them!!! And he knows that. But he made them anyway.
He says "you don't have to eat them".
Oh, but I do.
Just you wait - g’kids fill a space in your heart that you never knew was empty.
I fall into bed happily worn out each night.
Other news this month:
The Gerber’s celebrated their 7th anniversary on April 25th. Congrats guys!
Remembering Dillon, who turns 10...in Earth years.
