Slightly warmer day, hike to the beach

We bought each other the same card!

These two yahoos...

Hamilton!

Third grade sled races

-Caleb visited Calvin in January. Nate took him to Trinity for an overnight visit with some friends. Caleb also visited GVSU and Valparaiso this month. 

-The 3rd graders made sleds out of cardboard and duct tape. They had to design a sled they thought would make it down the hill fastest while also not falling apart. Stephen's team did fairly well. Their sled wasn't the fastest, but it didn't fall apart!

-Nate arranged a Hamilton date night. This was our second time seeing it and the musical is amazing.

-Caleb went on Providence's youth group retreat.

-Isaac fell playing PE basketball and had a small buckle fracture on his arm. He had to wear a cast for about 6 weeks, so that put an end to his rec basketball season. Caleb had to do physical therapy for his shoulder twice a week until mid April. 

-Stephen started a Holland Rec Improv acting class

-Stacy accepted a full-time job at West Ottawa Public Schools. The position is Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS) Specialist. It's essentially a social work-y job where I'm helping kids with behavior struggles at school. 

-The father of our good friend, Rebecca Peterson, died from covid. Stacy and a couple kids made a weekend trip to Sheboygan for the funeral and we also got to visit with Grandma in Wheaton. 

-Julia helped on the makeup team for the school play-The Wizard of Oz.
