This and That in March 2025, Part 1!

 Spring is coming!

I see this little bird often outside my desk window.  

He taps on the glass.

And our camellias have started blooming--also outside my desk window.

(Note: I've been told not to do much walking right now

 so home is where I spend most of my time.)

Aubrey turned 14 on the 5th.  

She had a fun dinner at Olive Garden!

We saw some of her presents on FaceTime

 and then she told us about this cake that she made.

Then one week later on the 12th,

 Michael turned 14.

Presents before:

Presents after:

The Melanchuks came for a visit on a Saturday.

They all went out to dinner so I could stay home and rest.

Fortunately, Nathaniel stayed home with me!

He played songs on the instruments.

He can get a lot of sound out of them these days!

Then he played songs on the Music Maker

 and I tried to guess the title.

Jacob and Lily had some fun activities during

 their month long break recently from year-round school.

One morning they went to the Folsom Zoo...

...and afterwards they came here to play games.

Grandpa took them all to Wendy's--again so I could rest.

It's fun to get a picture by the Big Feet!

Amelia with Percy.

 Family game on Sunday: Double Ditto

Multi-school track meet and Daniel did great:

2nd in 200, 3rd in 400, 3rd in 4 X 100 relay

Joshua continues with Drum Line activities.

I found this on social media. 

 It looks like the McClellan's ward

 makes cleaning the Church fun! 

Kathryn checks in every week with her family.

Lots of good things happening on her mission!

Grandpa takes me on rides so I can get out a little bit.

Last week we went to the Rosemont area of Sacramento

 and drove by our old house.

We moved into this house 50 years ago

 when it was brand new!

We lived there for 18 years.

Nathaniel performed in a 5th grade show

 about American music through the years.

Here he is with his group;

Performing a dance to Elvis music!

(video below)

He reminds me of the King!

David is taking some special piano lessons.

The teacher is in Folsom,

 so we are glad when they can stop by,

 and we get a performance!

(Video below)

We always enjoy it when Joshua and David stop by after the temple.

The Melanchuks also went to the temple.

What did the leprechaun say on March 17th?

Irish you a Happy St. Patrick's Day!
