We're Here, Too!

Wow! It's been a fast week in our household. Seems like either Dale or I have had "extra" commitments to keep us really hopping!! Dale spent the week putting the school's computer lab back togethr after "The Great Flood," and I spent extra time playing principal and working with curriculum reps purchasing new material for next year---I spent much of the time reminding them that we had had a flood and money was tight--they kept reminding me that they weren't Noah!!! All in all everything worked out well, the extra "problems' that always occur for principals were solved and my department teachers did a grand job of ordering and bartering for needed materials.

Dale and I spent most of the day in separate activities, although we started out together. Our Primary Choir sang for early service, Dale played, I directed. The kids did a marvelous job and they received a great many compliments. They're a great bunch to work with!! We'll sing one more time on Wednesday and then, we're finished for the year. Dale spent the day at Nikki and Bryan's helping pour a new front porch. It looks great. This week's project will be to build a "birdhouse' that will cover the electric meter by the door--the kids are working on their "curb appeal" right now. They've scheduled another open house next Sunday. I spent the day having dinner at Mom and Dad's..she tried out a new recipe, baked chicken, dressing and mixed vegetable casserole...mmmmmm, it was good. I thought she had enough for an army but, the five of us (Jessica and Rocky) put a huge dent in it! I spent the afternoon in my classroom trying to get ahead so that I could get behind on Thursday and Friday when we go to Minneapolis for a teachers conference--this time Dale is also attending as an "official" member of the staff!

I am enjoying the blog--it's nice to see the pictures and read about what everyone is doing!
Hannah--wish I could see you play. You've seemed to have inherited some of the Misselhorn sports ability that your Grandma and her brothers and sisters had!

Mackenzie--congratulations for making state...that's quite an accomplishment. I know an awfully lot of third graders who tumble, but none of them do it as well as you. I'm proud of you!!

Sara--hope Chris is getting better. I cringe when I hear about his accident. He definetly had a 'guardian angel' with him. It must be difficult for you to try to take care of him, go to school, and help Mom with Dad. Grandma says your back at work, too. Uncle Dale and I are so proud of "our little girl" and all that she has managed to do!!!

Susan--I hope things will be better for you soon. Please let us know if you need ANYTHING!!!

Chris--looking forward to seeing you the first of May. It's been too long since we've been to KC!

David--will try your bean recipe--sound delicious. Loking forward to seeing you soon, too.

Julie--how is the new job?

Utah--how are the babies/kids?

Well, I have grades to post. Everyone have a great week! We love you all!!!!
