Family Photos: April - May 2008

Here are some family photos from the last two months. The entire album is also at our Picasa site.

Nadine had her birthday in April. She's going home soon and we'll miss her!

Kayla and I had our choir concerts in April, in Spokane and Bonners Ferry. This is the first year Kayla has been able to join our community choir.

We went on a hike to Snow Creek Falls. The water was roaring with all the snowmelt.

Our friends the Ipsens came up and visited one day. Kayla and the kids took them out to see the wildlife refuge.

We planted the garden for Mother's Day. I experimented with a new way to even the ground for planting peas (using a board).

Two weeks ago we went on our first camping trip of the year, to Green Bay on Lake Pend Oreille. It is hands down the best place to camp in our neck of the woods, and we had the entire peninsula to ourselves.

Our new tent is completely waterproof!

Hyrum had a birthday celebration at school, even though it's not his birthday until the summer!

One Year Down, One to Go

Ah.... I finished my first year of graduate school yesterday. Our last class session was in early May but we've been submitting final exams and projects for the last couple weeks. Toward the end of the schoolyear I was starting to doubt my initial motivations for taking on an MBA program while working. I have to say (being halfway done) that I'm still glad I signed up for this grueling two-year sprint. It's already enriched my career in many areas. Now I'm ready for summer!
