Graduation, Samantha & Lost Luggage

April was a very busy month for us, but very rewarding.  After spending the 1st of the month with Missy, Clark and Samantha, we returned to Utah for the graduation of Jeff and Grace - CONGRATULATIONS!   We thought when this occurred that we would be through with our children in school, but Mike is enjoying another round of studying and tests, so we are looking forward to that graduation now and then Jeff will return for his Master's before long.  KUDOS goes to Kristina as well for getting her Iowa Teaching certificate - way to go.

While in Utah, we enjoyed getting to know Samantha a little better - what a cutie.  We could see quite a bit of change in her in just the 2 weeks we were gone - they do grow pretty fast, don't they?  Jeff and Grace even got to join in holding her - are they next?

  

After a nice visit, we returned to Illinois, only to find out that the airlines lost my luggage - horrors, no make-up, hair dryer, curling iron, medication, slippers, favorite clothes.  Thank goodness it was found and they sent to 

me the next day, but I had to scrounge for left-over make-up early in the day, so I could look decent going to the dentist's office that morning.  

Now, it's May already and before you know it, it will be time for summer fun and our Hart family reunion - we better get planning.  It's going to be a fun summer - can't wait to all be together.
