We survived

After a week in snowbound IA, it was nice to get home and actually see some grass (brown as it is).  We are only 2 1/2 hours south of them, but what a difference in the weather.  We truly enjoyed our week as substitute parents - thanks Marisa, Kayla, Tyler and Alayna for being such good kids and treating us so kindly.  We had a really fun time playing games, going to Marisa's concert, watching Kayla's basketball, and giving the science presentations to Alayna's and Tyler's classes at school.  We didn't enjoy getting up so early in the mornings, but we did get a break on a couple of days when school was cancelled or delayed.  For sure, it's never dull when we're with the grandchildren.  We're happy that Bob and Kristina had such a great time in Florida.  We're available, for a slight fee, if anyone else wants a break from the parenting role for a few days.
