Second Half of April '26 - skating, traveling, baseball and more

Morning run view


Kyle went to China for a work trip, Saturday April 18th for six days


Mary had her first FS1 test (Free Style 1) In private skating lessons in order to level up you perform a routine as your test. She had her FS1 on April 18th and passed! Now she'll work on FS2 skills and do a test mid-to late summer. 

Funny story with this video, we came to watch but thought she was just warming up. We thought there weren't going to be any one else on the ice. But there were a lot of people for this time slot so this 'practice' run was actually the real deal. 


Mary has taking a liking to baking. 


Woke to SNOW on April 19th, what!?!?!

Since Kyle was gone for the week that left me to do ALLLL the running. Emma had early morning soccer practice on Sunday morning so I got a run in around her location while she practiced.

Blessed to get free tickets to the twins game from GOTR. Great way to pass the time away with Kyle being gone. It was chilly! 



Trying to warm up in the sun. 






After the game it was a trip to dicks sporting goods to buy ALL THE SHOES! Thankfully we had a 20% coupon!


Monday morning, pre swim view:


Isaac had his first baseball game - April 20th. One of the dad's captured these great photos!

Friday evening Kyle got home to be with Thomas just after we had left for the middle school play. The girls and Isaac knew a lot of people in the play. It was so good!

Finished April with the annual GOTR luncheon fundraiser. 




And an evening of ice skating, baseball, baseball and soccer!

Mary had her dress rehearsal for the skate show that weekend I didn't get a photo but did record her group's number:

Glimpse at the life we live... This was only the start May through mid-June is worse.
